Touch me, I’ll set you on fire. Love me, I'll burn with desire. And I feel you, And I need you now. Yeah, take me. Wait til the morning, wait til the morning. You’ve been at my body all night long. We’re still going baby, we’re still strong. Wait til the morning, wait til the morning comes. Wait til the morning comes. Don’t talk now, wait til the morning light, I’ve got you and you are mine tonight. Wait til the morning, wait til the morning comes. Wait til the morning comes.

White trash in the city, this is your song. Every damn thing the rapper told you, He told you wrong. They’re fucking up the woman. Working woman, think you’re pretty? Don’t get me wrong, Every damn one that would oppress you, They ain’t so strong. They’re fucking with the woman and the whole damn thing. We’re woman white trash I said we’re woman white trash. Working now, never earn the money. Loving now, you just want my body. Suck life from her titties, that’s outa sight. Every damn thing your momma taught you, You know it’s right. You’re fucking like a woman. Every damn thing that I’ve been saying, Better listen up, She’ll just blow you all away if you don’t get it up. You’re fucking with the woman and the whole damn thing. We’re woman white trash I said we’re woman white trash. Working now, never earn the money. Loving now, you just want my body. Working now, never earn the money. Loving now, you just want my body. What’s your problem girlie? You’re trying to put me down, You’re attitude needs mending, You shouldn’t make me frown. You’ve got to generate respect, For the main man in your life, New style feminism, it only leads to strife. You know there comes a time when woman, Well she's got to settle down, Understand my friends are watching, I’m looking like a clown. So stop, now I’m angry, I don’t know what to do, Get back in position or I’ll put a stop to you.

This is the story of a girl like me. She didn’t know much but she had to be free. She was only 14 years when she left home, Had no money and no where to go. Cruising by every smiling face, And the come ons from the strangers. I’m looking good and walking tall, Now avoiding all the dangers. They have paid to touch her, But they’ll never get inside her And she’s free. All that she had was the will to survive. Sold her body just to stay alive. For her it didn’t matter, men young or old. Every night she had a bed and someone to hold. Cruising by every smiling face, And the come ons from the strangers. I’m looking good and walking tall, Now avoiding all the dangers. They have paid to touch her, But they’ll never get inside her And she’s free.

Sonny, you’re a little boy at school now, Ooh and no-one, no-one’s on your side. The girls around you, They always put you down. You’re always acting so cool when there’s no -one around. You say ‘who needs them anyway’? You’re a loser. You've got all the right ideas, But you're on the losing side. You’re a loser. No rising star Everything you say is true , But you're on the losing side. Later, now that you’ve become a man. Ooh and women, now you make them pay. The guys around you, you always put them down. You’re always acting so cool when there’s no-one around. You say ‘who needs them anyway’?

One man, one woman, Oooh, It should have felt right. Disappointment it binds you, Words cut like knives. Need inside you grows stronger, You give up the fight. Friendly pages, your black book. I’ll make you feel alright tonight. And if I give you what I’ve got, You’ll play my game, I’ll kill myself so I don’t have to pay, Sell my sex for money, It’s safer that way. Cry the night from your eyes, Thought you were happy, ‘I’m sorry, I love you’ She’s heard it all a thousand times before, Need gets stronger, it hurts you. I know I’ll win the fight. But I’ll tell you something baby, It’s me who calls the shots tonight. And if I give you what I’ve got, You’ll play my game, I’ll kill myself so I don’t have to pay, Sell my sex for money, It’s safer that way.

This song is for the triple goddess and her pet entities. Babe has long been given the mike for spoken word expressions due to her very particular voice and manner of speaking. With this, her high soprano singing voice, and her sometimes harsh, dramatic effects - all her styles are a spice to be used cautiously and sparingly, but she has long been mainstay in the all the musical recipes of the community since she joined.

Don’t make any difference, What you say, I don’t care if you're right The woman’s here to stay. It don’t make any difference, What you think its about, I love other women, Now get out of my house. And I’m telling you… Angel’s bed where fools fear to tread Angel’s bed where fools fear to tread Lover gonna touch me, she’ll really hit the spot. Lover gonna touch me, she’ll always make you hot. And she looked right through me, And she blew my mind, And he walked right through me, And I left my soul behind. Don’t have an opinion Or a point of view, I know what I want, And I know it’s not you, I’ve been frozen for years, But you hadn’t a clue Now she’s in my life And it’s goodbye to you.

Scream becomres a hymn So, where do you find them? Oh, cafes, bars, truck stops. Shopping malls at night. There’s a look in their eyes, That I recognise, A kind of defiant hunger, Hostile, full of pain, yet hunted, You know that look? Sure. There’s one now. Come on, lets do it again. No we never killed a lover, But we always left them crying, So they always felt like dying, That’s what turns me on. In the lamplight of the city, You hear a scream. The suited man from the office, He takes another street. Her heart is beating out of time, Two running feet. For you it never was a crime, You’ll always be… Talking out a total transaction, Taking out the time to be, Talking out a total transaction, Taking out the time to be, No we never killed a lover, But we always left them crying, So they always felt like dying, That’s what turns me on. As the fog comes down this evening, The light grows dim. The pain is just beginning, The scream becomes a hymn. But it never was a problem, The way we lived. The night was just imagination We’ll always be… Talking out a total transaction, Taking out the time to be, Talking out a total transaction, Taking out the time to be, No we never killed a lover, But we always left them crying, So they always felt like dying, That’s what turns me on.

Then die. Last time I saw her, She was looking kind of grey, She asked me my secret, Why I’m so young and gay? So I took her by the hand, And said that she had to understand. Our life is… DecaDance, Decay, Decadence, Decay, DecaDance, Decay, Decadence, Decay Live, live for today, Then die. Dobedobedo Tell you the same thing But I don’t think you'll understand You'll fill your house with beauty, Because you've built it in the sand Oh, pleasure and pain, We die but we come back again. Our life is… DecaDance, Decay, Decadence, Decay, DecaDance, Decay, Decadence, Decay Live, live for today, Then die. Dobedobedo I want you to, Take life in both hands. You worry too much, You don’t need a plan. Take all your pleasure, Take all your pain, Just like the sunshine, Just like the rain, Now sing it. Hahahahahah! I love to go a wandering Along the mountain track, And as I go I love to sing, A knapsack on my bag. The little beetle goes round and round, Always the same way. No, in plain speaking!

about

Red Abyss was an early band from the pagan, matriarchal community based in France that birthed the controversial, explicit, metal pagan feminist 90's band Rockbitch. This album was recorded and gigged all over France, but never released or distributed by any company. All recorded, mixed and mastered by Tony Skinner - who has been their producer, guitarist, bassist, pivotal commune member and long term male survivor since the get go of the collective.

The name stood for a menstruating vagina.

The musical style is melodic rock, and was specifically purposed in style to appeal to the French taste in music at that time. The individuals tastes and influences were hugely eclectic, but it all merged to produce this. You can hear the source consistency throughout all the community different bands, even though styles changed over the years.

At this time, the Bass player was the extraordinarily talented and perennially unsung Amanda Smith Skinner. Specialising in fretless and with Steinburger & Trace Elliot endorsements, she was a huge musical talent.

Lead Vocals was Julie Worland, now the lead singer named Krow of the community band, 'Krow & The Electric Temple'. At about age 20 here, you can already hear the potency that was to develop into her incredible voice. She and Skinner wrote the songs with musical input from all the other members - always collective endeavour but credit where due.

Backing Vocalist here were original community member Justine, who moved on after about ten years to pastures new, and Lisa Wills - who of course, is the indomitable and mouthy exhibitionist 'Babe' in the future band incarnation of Rockbitch.

The drummer for this album and this band was Steve, a commune member who faked his own suicide and ran away after being confronted by the community members for long term deception - taking the form of stealing money which was to be sent to his estranged wife, amongst other things. The commune is often asked why there are not more men within the group. Hmmm.

The community's paganism, feminism and general politics and philosophy are obvious within the lyrics. It isn't hard to see where the Rockbitch concept and urge began.
