You are now entering an Underrated Zone / 3
Generally regarded as PiL's worst studio album. While this is probably true - it is undeniably patchy - it's far from awful and in fact boasts some great moments ("Bad Life," "Solitaire," "The Order Of Death" - incidentally, the album's title is a lyrical motif recurrent on "Bad Life" and "The Order Of Death"). At the time, "This Is What You Want" was PiL's biggest stylistic shift yet - from edgy avant garde to (edgy) disco funk, re-recorded after the departure of original guitarist Keith Levene (who released his mix of the original album tapes as the semi-legit and largely better-liked "Commercial Zone"). The horn section is only really obtrusive on the horrid remake of "This Is Not A Love Song" (the infinitely superior 1983 single version was PiL's biggest chart hit to date). That and two other numbers - "The Pardon" and "Where Are You" - form a severe lapse in quality that drags the album down. The original PiL sound is aching to emerge from underneath the sinister camp of "Tie Me To The Length Of That" (admittedly, a good track, with Lydon assuming the persona of a traumatised newborn: "When I was born the doctor didn't like me/He grabbed my ankles/Held me like a turkey/Dear mummy/Why'd you let him hit me/This was wrong/I knew you didn't love me"). "1981" serves as an epitaph for the UK-based PiL ("I'm leaving England/We're near the ending/You gave me nothing/No more pretending"). Like "Flowers Of Romance" (which, aside from a couple of tracks, it doesn't at all resemble musically), "This Is What You Want" is unsatisfying overall, but it has enough interesting tracks to weigh out its shortcomings.
Song "Death Disco"
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Finally in a fade
Seeing in your eyes
Seeing in your eyes
Never really know
Never realize
Silence in your eyes
Silence in your eyes
Never really know
Til it's gone away
Never realize
The silence in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
Seen it in your eyes
In your eyes
Never no more hope away
Finally in a fade
Watch her slowly die
Saw it in her eyes
Choking on a bed
Flowers rotting dead
Seen it in her eyes
Ending in a day
Seein' it was a way
Seein' it in your eyes
Seein' it in your eyes
Seein' it in your eyes
I'm seeing through my eyes
Words cannot express
I'm seeing through my eyes ....
