Bluegate Fields Songtext
von Marc Almond

A dragon is sleeping deep inside my head
Waiting for the call from the land of the dead
Drifting down on a sad sojourn
To Blue Gate Fields, Blue Gate Fields
Dreams of sweet cargo on ships in the dock
To feed Lotus Eaters that wake around the clock
Waiting for Chi-ki the old Chinaman
In Blue Gate Fields, in Blue Gate Fields

I′m committing a crime against nature
As I seek out the sins of the world
I look for a sign of redemption
But my fate is sealed in Blue Gate Fields


Who'll visit my dream as I float through the day?
Sea creatures in petticoats from Tiger Bay
Tigresses, man-trappers, slappers and thieves
Of Blue Gate Fields, of Blue Gate Fields
Haunting the alleys, a maze of dark courts
I′m one of the dead men, the shadows that walk
Drawn to the toke of the sweet smoke of dreams
In Blue Gate Fields, in Blue Gate Fields

I'm committing a crime against nature
As I seek out the sins of the world
I look out for a sign of redemption
But my fate is sealed in Blue Gate Fields

The Harblight Leveler, here we have no names
This Harbworld bedeviler marks each soul the same
Princes and paupers, intelligent men
Tipsy sailors, we're all in this abominable den
In Blue Gate Fields, in Blue Gate Fields

A dragon is waking deep inside my head
Saves me again from the call of the dead
My portrait corroding while I always young
In Blue Gate Fields, Blue Gate Fields
In Blue Gate Fields, in Blue Gate Fields
In Blue Gate Fields
