Bauhaus - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything

The Sky’s Gone Out (1982) Lyrics: All we ever wanted was everything all we ever got was cold get up, eat jelly sandwich bars, and barbed wire squash every week into a day The sound of the drum is calling the sound of the drum has called flash of youth shoot out of darkness.... factorytown Oh to be the cream. The band was originally Bauhaus 1919 before they dropped the numerical portion within a year of formation. With their dark and gloomy sound and image, Bauhaus are generally considered the first gothic rock group. Bauhaus combined a number of influences including punk music, glam rock, and Krautrock—even funk and dub—to create a gloomy and introspective sound which appealed to many fans left disillusioned by the New Wave that arose in the wake of punk’s collapse. Their sound proved influential and inspiring to a whole wave of post-punk groups delving into the intense, gloomy style that would eventually come to be known as gothic rock. Its crucial elements included Peter Murphy’s deep and sonorous voice, Daniel Ash’s innovative guitar playing, and David J’s dub-influenced bass.
