Theatre of Tragedyis a Norwegian band from Stavanger, originally assembled in 1993 by Hein Frode Hansen, Raymond István Rohonyi and Lorentz Aspen, together with Tommy Lindal, Pål Bjastad and Liv Kristine Espenæs. They are probably best known for their earlier albums, which provided a great deal of influence to the gothic metalgenre. The band was one of the first ones who made use of contrasting vocals - male bass vocals and death growls and female soprano singing, today sometimes referred to as the "Beauty and the Beast" vocals. On their first three albums ( Theatre of Tragedy, Velvet Darkness They Fear, Agis) Theatre of Tragedy presented lyrics written predominantly in a form of Olde English, an early form of the language prior to Shakespearean times. Starting from the album Musique, however, the band made drastic changes to their style, which became significantly inspired by the industrial rockgenre, abandoning Olde English writing, heavier guitar riffing and death growls in the process.

Automatic Lover Lyrics

Theatre Of Tragedy

Dont you wanna end up with this mister?
He is just being nice with his kisses and he
Thinks youre not one of the smart ones
Say it darling
Doesnt seem like you want that kind of honey, honey
From the automatic lover's store
To the first floor of your backroom door
From the spin-spin of the fickle swirl
In a freak-freak dance of the showroom girl
From the window of the red lit shop
To the hop-hop of the fluid swap
To the bang-bang when the wallets gone
And the run-run when the heat is on
From the automatic lover's store
To the first floor of your homeroom door
And the cry-cry of your better half
To the laugh-laugh at your minuscule staff
From the plead-plead when you really want in
To the knead-knead fore the blanket-spin
From the flush-flush of the bed-time art
To the raging heart when she doesnt do her part
Dont you wanna end up with this mister?
He is just being nice with his kisses and he
Thinks youre not one of the smart ones
Say it darling
Doesnt seem like you want that kind of honey, honey
Out the door-door to the dance-dance hall
To the bawl-bawl of the bar room brawl
From the drink-drink until on the floor
To the blink-blink of the girl next door
To the rock-rock until off the hinge
To the luck-luck to complete the binge
From the rush-rush when youre feeling bored
To the second floor of your homeroom door
To the plead-plead when you really want in
And the knead-knead fore the blanket-spin
From the fug-fug of the bedroom air
To the hug-hug of the professional lair
To the automatic lover's store
Where it feel-feels much less like a chore
To the lick-lick of the lipstick lip
To the electric trip of the perfect strip
Hey you are you oh-oh are you
I owe you a go-go are you
Nothing but an oh-oh yeah
I owe you a kissy baby
Hey you are you oh-oh are you
I owe you a go-go are you
Nothing but an oh-oh yeah
I owe you a kissy baby
