The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

If I only were a goth-- ThouShaltNot





I'd be thinner

I'd be taller

Go clubbing in my collar

With skin pale as a moth

Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'

While the normal folk are sleepin'

If I only were a Goth

With my hair up

I'd look fancy

Like Siouxsie and the Banshees

With silk or velvet cloth

Dressed in boots, never sandals

And the room would be lit with candles

If I only were a Goth



Yes I'd wanna die

From the bottom of my heart impure

Would I like another clove?

Well, sure

And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure



I'd pretend to be a vampire

Like in stories 'round the campfire

I'd suck your bloody froth

Yes the thing I'd be best at

Is impersonating Lestat

If I only were a Goth



In my casket purse I'm toutin'

Einsturzende Neubauten

And pagan hymns to Thoth

Yes the world would be depressing

Over death I'd be obsessing

And this corpse that I'm undressing

Would be sexier, I'm guessing

With my diet I'd get scurvy

And I'd worship Peter Murphy

If I only were a Goth

True Love-- ThouShaltNot



In walks the villain of this tale

The door closing silent behind you

I smile and I offer you something to drink

In the hopes that a taste will remind you

That poison goes better with grenadine

That deceit's always lovely with lime

That bitterness can be so sweet

When it's served in the right place and at the right time

And we'll toast to a lifetime of happiness

And we'll catch up on mutual friends

Yes we'll laugh with good cheer and not mention that we're

Just a means to each of our ends

And by midnight you'll be so convinced

That all of our time apart was some mistake

That I'll sigh and I'll stand and I'll hold out my hand

Once more for your memory's sake



I'll hold you my love and never let go

I'll hold you my love and I'll never tire

I'll hold you my love by the throat

I'll hold you my love over the fire

So breathe with me, love; only love will work now

Hold onto my love like it was stolen

I'll burn with your love like I was Birkenau

I'll conquer your love like you were Poland

I'll act on my love like Pontius Pilate

I'll give you my love like I was Brutus

I'll radiate love like Three Mile Island

I'll prove you my love like I was Judas
