Have you ever been stalked? Of course you have.  OK, have you ever been stalked by a rejected satanic moon howler who cursed your very existence? Hmm...thought not. This is 'You Scare me to Death'. You'll enjoy listening to it more than we enjoyed writing it.


You Scare Me to Death

How can I miss you when you monitor everything I do?
Play so subtle but I still see everything you do.

So, you scare me to death
You scare me to death 
or so you think...
Centum dies tenebrarum

Send me cute notes but I can’t sleep at all at night
Act so childish when the flame of love would never light.

So, you scare me to death
You scare me to death 
or so you think...
Centum dies tenebrarum

Cry if you want to but you still don’t have a thing to say
Said you loved me but I’ve never seen it shown that way.

So, you scare me to death
You scare me to death 
or so you think...

You Scare Me To Death

When love goes wrong, you either cry yourself to sleep or bring down the house and pull the roots up.  Rip it ALL up...

Rip it up




I’m not gonna say it twice, there ain’t enough time

Don’t want to have to say it again, I don’t want to be your friend

So take that idea.....and rip it up


I’m tired of playing childish games, the ones that end the same

So just waken up

I’ve had enough of your lies 

so this won’t come as a surprise that we’re breaking up.

And rip it up


Come on push me harder, push me harder to the edge of my life

I loved you and you didn’t know it

didn’t give me the chance to show it

C’mon and rip it up.....

Rip it up




Rip It Up

Some of us are in the gutter but we are always looking at the stars. Would TC Lundquist approve? Fan rätt as they say down Stockholm way.


A million lights


You’re so wonderful, you’re wonderful

you’re everything to me, to me

you’re incredible, so good you’re almost edible

like me, you’ll see


Oh TC Lundquist would have approved

of the way you moved when you danced your seven veils off.

Oh, you’re so wonderful, you’re wonderful

you’re everything to me, to me.

A million faces light my way, progress beyond the light of day

A million lights shining on

Come tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

They will be gone.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

I will be home.


You’re the principal

My love for you’s invincible like me

You’ll see

Oh, you are in my heart

A living, breathing, shouting part of me

Of me


Oh TC Lundquist would have approved

of the way you moved when you danced your seven veils off.

Oh, you’re so wonderful, you’re wonderful

you’re everything to me, to me.

A million faces light my way, progress beyond the light of day

A million lights shining on

Come tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

They will be gone.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

I will be home.


You’re delectable,

the president electable to me, to me

You’re chimerical, 

my love for you’s numerical, you see

you see

Oh TC Lundquist....




A Million Lights

Baroque and roll. If Love met the Stones on the set of Jaws, this is what it would sound like.

You are the woman with a hand on my heart...a thousand women swoon and a hundred wannabes curse their luck. 

'We're gonna need a bigger band!'

BREEZY

Well, I try and I try
Well it’s hard to be the best when you put me through the test
I can hardly stand on my feet
I can hardly...stand at all
Well, I pray for the day
When I never miss a word or a quote that you say
A day when I’m not against the wall
A day when I’m not afraid to …fall at your feet
Breezy
Breezy
You are the woman with a hand on my heart
Breezy


I take a dive, to look at you
You are a killer killer shark 
and you know just what to do
Well, it’s hard for me to stay alive
When you’re tearing me, tearing me 
from inside
Breezy
Breezy
You are the woman with a hand on my heart
Breezy

And so to me, you are so cool
Why do you try to make every man a fool?
When they try to follow you
You know exactly what to do.
Breezy
Breezy
You are the woman with a hand on my heart
Breezy

Well, I try and I try
Well it’s hard to be the best when you put me through the test
I can hardly stand on my feet
I can hardly...stand at all
Breezy
Breezy....







Breezy

White are the electric dreamers. Walk with me, walk into this perfect slice of 80's style power pop from Glasgow's forgotten finest. 

PASSIONATE BLUE

Walk with me walk
Walk with me walk while I’m running
Dream with me dream
Dream with me dream in my days
Look with me look
Look with me look
Where I’m going
Wipe mist from my eyes as together we go through the haze

I’m so wrapped up in the meaning of you
And I want to shelter their world from you
If you would only love me as I have loved you
The sky, from grey would turn a passionate blue....

A stones throw away
a word that you say might make a difference
The cloud in the air
the rain in your hair might try to wash away
The star in your eyes
a ruby cut, diamond studded pearl.
The image of you, the image of me
the image of the girl

I’m so wrapped in the meaning of you.....

Talk to me talk
talk to me talk while I’m sleeping
Feed me the lines
feed me the lines that I need
Lie in my arms
lie in my arms when I’m dying
and tell me the stories
that I’ve waited so long to hear.


I’m so wrapped up in the meaning of you
And I want to cherish their world for you
If you would only love me as I have loved you
The sky, from grey would turn a passionate blue...


Passionate Blue....


Passionate Blue

Retro stomper with a razor sharp edge. 

If this doesn't make you want to move your feet, you're already dead. Or in Kirkcaldy. 

 Angel Supreme 

 You come down from Olympus baby 
 bearing favours from the Gods 
 In your hand there’s milk and honey baby 
 and you’re giving them to frauds. 

 Well this is not the promised land 
 as you’ll soon see 
 So stop being such a wild child 
 and bring it on home to me 

 With a wave of your hand, I know what you mean 
 I love you, love you, love you, love you 
 Love my angel supreme 


 When I’m high upon the mountain baby 
 Where nothing touches me. 
 Like the parting of the waters baby 
 You come to set me free. 
 So don’t you go back to your wicked ways 
 Only one alive to keep me all night and day. 


 With a wave of your hand, I know what you mean 
 I love you, love you, love you, love you 
 Love my angel supreme 


 break... 


 With a move of your hips, I know what you mean 
 I love you, love you, love you, love you 
 Love my angel supreme 


 When you’re stranded in the darkest night 
 I’m hot upon your tail 
 I keep looking for the brightest star 
 And I’m back upon your trail 
 I’m still looking for the promised land 
 As you’ll soon see 
 So come on and join the faith train baby 
 tag alongside me. 


 With a shake of your hips 
 You know what I mean... 
 I love you, love you, love you, love you 
 Love my angel supreme

Angel Supreme

This is what if feels like to be 18.  Even if you're 50. Or 28. Why am I scared to death, the minute you draw breath near me? It's love man. Enjoy the ride, kid.

WHO DO YOU LOVE

Who do you love?
Oh, who do you love?
When you say you want me for yourself
then you drag me the hottest hell.
Who do you Love?

What do you want?
What do you want?
You’re so vain yet you’re sugar sweet
but you’re strong enough to take me off my feet.
What do you want?

Why am I scared to death,
the minute that you draw breath near me?
Why am I chained to you?
My heart beats with every step you move.


Why do you tease me?
Why do you tease me?
Well you lead me on like a child
and you scratch my skin and drive me so wild
Why do you tease me?

Why am I scared to death....

Who do you love, baby? etc....


Who Do You Love?

Stick on the mocha, light some frankincense, fire up the hubblybubbly and let WHITE transport you on a 4 minute exotic journey to a far off place. This is Arabesque.

ARABESQUE

Lost, locked in a box with the letters of love
Lost, locked in the morning light
Touch, oh to hold you
I need this moment now
The animal running inside me is running beside you

The beast is on the chase, the hunter celebrates
the water cascading over you
A dream, a mood, a dress
comes back to me in thoughts of Arabesque.

No, don’t ever hide your face,
The look, your dark eyes will be forever
Touch, oh to hold you
I need this moment now
The animal running inside me is running beside you

The beast is on the chase, the hunter celebrates
the water cascading over you
A dream, a mood, a dress
comes back to me in thoughts of Arabesque.

My hand, my hand will never reach you
So far, so far, so fast your heart will travel
Touch, oh to hold you
I need this moment now
The animal running inside me is running 
Is running free

The beast is on the chase, the hunter celebrates
the water cascading over you
A dream, a mood, a dress
comes back to me in thoughts of Arabesque.

No, don’t ever hide your face,
The look, your dark eyes will be forever
Touch, oh to hold you
I need this moment now
The animal running inside me is running 
Is running free










Arabesque

Cloudy hooch with a Tarantino-esque chaser. The ghost of Mad Gerry is still on that hill. A hill called Crookston Hill.


Crookston Hill


Woke up one morning
Tell me what did you see?
I see a thousand pink Indians
they’re all laughing at me

The poisonous potion
Made by Donny’s old man
Drink all that whisky boys
Drink as fast as you can.

I went to sleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning

With a knife in his hand
Mad Gerry’s on the hill.
The gang on the other side all wait for the kill.
The poisonous potion
Made by Donny’s old man
Drink all that whisky boys
Drink as fast as you can.

I went to sleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning

Love me ‘til I fall down
Love me ‘til I scream
Supernatural case face woman
Stepping out my dream
They come at you so violent
They come at you so cold
At half past nine they come at you
and tell you that you...

Just been asleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning
I’ve been to sleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning

Say I woke one morning
Tell me what did you see?
I see one thousand pink Indians
They’re all laughing at me.

All laughing at me.

Yeah, laughing at me.

All laughing at me.

Yeah, laughing at me.

I went to sleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning
I went to sleep on Crookston Hill
and didn’t wake ‘til the morning

Take me down...


Crookston Hill

'From the mid eighties until their eventual break up at the end of 1992, WHITE gave us some of the eras most powerful, exciting, poignant and criminally under appreciated music. And now, over 20 years later, they're back!'
