[@mikevanroy9356]

My first concert was Nine Inch Nails opening for The Jesus And Mary Chain. My most recent concert was The Jesus And Mary Chain opening for Nine Inch Nails.

That's a weird opposite of TJAMC or NIN opening and headlining. But TJAMC is excellent whether a opener or a headliner! 😁

A long time had passed, as noted by Trent Reznor when he thanked his old fans - because he didn't think he had any young fans. $&&%&%&

As I stand here, don't you walk away And the world comes tumbling down Hand in hand in a violent life Making love on the edge of a knife And the world comes tumbling down [Chorus 1] And it's hard for me to say And it's hard for me to stay I'm going down to be by myself I'm going back for the good of my health And there's one thing I couldn't do Sacrifice myself to you Sacrifice [Verse 2] Baby, baby, I just can't see Just what you mean to me I take my aim and I fake my words I'm just your longtime curse And if you walk away I can't take it [Chorus 2] But that's the way that you are And that's the things that you say But now you've gone too far With all the things you say Get back to where you come from I can't help it, under the April skies Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies [Bridge] Under the April sun Under the April sun Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies [Verse 3] The sun grows cold, the sky gets black And you broke me up and now you won't come back Shaking hand, life is dead And a broken heart and a screaming head Hey, hey [Outro] Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies Under the April skies
