Bauhaus - In The Flat Field Lyrics

I saw Bauhaus several times in their home town of Northampton in the early days. The best was at the Northampton Rep, a small, old Victorian theatre nestled down Guildhall Road. The whole atmosphere was incredible - powerful and haunting, especially with this and Bela Lugosi's Dead. Great times back then and an amazing performance by the band.

Sounds great , envious of you mate

MUSIC which never bore me since 30 years or more. like the first few lps of the Cure

Woke up with this song in my head a bit ago. Can only remember snatches of the dream though. I was a servant in someone's house, told to fetch the box with the wild animal in it to take care of a bug loose in the plush parlor wtf

Be aware that if you post this youtube video on Farcebook you'll end up with a ban because the picture shows pubic hair and a knob. Wonder what happens if you take a picture of the statue of David that is in the vatican and post that! Wankers

I started singing this when I moved to Devon from London

super-duber.

Some love lasts forever...Ive never stopped loving this song. 🖤

Just scored a ticket for December 1st 2019 to see Bauhaus in Hollywood!!!!!!!!! Oh my fucking gawd!!!

can't get these bloody pregnant cows off my lawn!

Tired....so tired....tired of listening to Gothic, Gothic, and complaints.

Don't try to share this on facebook. These fuckers will block your account because of "the nudity content". Whart a bunch of fascists they are.

おーーーい‼

Pure Art

I'm 40 years 0's what are you

I,m 66 , still love all this , the bass is just brilliant

I'm 53 and I'll never get too old to listen to Bauhaus.

@A.J. Reynolds They where playing Manchester University , 78 / 79 , i don,t know , we went to watch them , but they where on Top of the Pops week before doing Ziggy , got there , and could,nt get in bloody students jumping on the band wagon ,

New Bess fuck off

Got a 24 hour ban on FB for sharing this. Idiots don’t understand the difference between art and pornographic material. WTF is this sad world coming to?

Me too lol

Καυλα

Loved the music and band, lyrics still shite though.

I had this on vinyl, when it came out....Used to listen to it full blast, in the dark, all the time....

Ahhh the music in this song is so threateningly menacing, it's delicious.

Trying to share this video gave me a 24 hours ban on Facebook because of "sexual content"

Don't even use facebook, it's 2019 now

What's wrong with facebook it became pg. Lol

I get burned.i could get burned.in the flat field. would be a better lyric

How so?

someone once said, 'I never accept constructive criticism from someone who has never constructed anything'...

Song makes me wanna get a big titty goth girl pregnant

Say what you want, the lyrics are a piece of poetry.

I had all the Bauhaus records back in the early 80's....one of the few bands who were much better live then on record. I was lucky enough to see them several times at Aylesbury Friars and Hammersmith Palais

We live at Berghain now...
We don't fukin die...
Papa Gouster loves you all xxx 💜

Its like investment banking

ILove this♥

Sooo captures my boredom. The poetry and wicked vocals. To die of sheer boredom in the flat field. !

Crazy ass guitars

3.00-3.30 trance

Great song, I shared this exact post on fb in July, and they only now (late November) kicked me to the gutter for posting sexually explicit content and violating their community standards. I'm confused. How religiously extreme do you have to be, to report this? Censorship overload!

Lol that sounds terrible mate. But alas, what do you expect?. We live in a "wonderful" society now don't we?

Anna Peterson On the bright side, you don’t have to use facebook anymore.

pokidali su u beogradu prosle nedelje

Crni Gavran ?

I got banned from FB for a week for sharing this song. Their underpaid child-workers saw the cover of the album and the tiny penis.

I got a three day ban for posting God in an alcove they are very intimated by penis

@Maschinengott haha lol. Best comment ever!

Hace medio mes, pude escuchar esto en directo <3

fukin lovely mate

Bauhaus is amazing. My definition of "gothic rock" is this album.

Black Hat Bauhaus coined the term goth and that’s why they’re known as the gothfathers even though Peter Murphy hated being called a goth band.

The Logical conclusion of all that was Velvet Underground. Punk rock was was pop rock oriented... acidic pop mind u but the Pistols really were just a boy band. This is The logical conclusion of the Velvet Underground oeuvre. Truly Post Punk and as far as I'm concerned is punks natural progression. Really Punk is a non description in what is now known as alternative music. I would proffer Bob Dylan is the same as VU too. They all come from the same well spring of edginess and things being off kilter.

The Sex Pistols as a boy band? Fuckin perfect! The best comment I've ever seen on the internet! Bravo!

Dan Jenkins I thank you and I stole it. I can't remember where though. I love Punk and I love the pistols but it was all in the Press and fanzines. The darkness and edginess of The Velvet Underground sound and look found its way with Bauhaus and others in the post-punk world.

The real dead giveaway pun intended by the way is that Bauhaus covered John Cale Rose Garden Funeral of sores. There's a lot going on in Bauhaus sound so much dub and reggae kind of makes me laugh because that's exactly what Public Image Limited was going for and John Lydon got it right the second time. 1978 first edition was just as much acid and no pop. Three chords and Chuck Berry weren't going to cut it. So 1967 The Velvet Underground and Nico had a lot to live up to. Bauhaus picked up the challenge.

I agree with all except for the Pistols, that were great, if you think were just a boy band you still don't catch their point.

So were you born totally full of shit, or was this a recent affair? "The Sex Pistols were boy band because they were in all he magazines and the press" What a load of utter bullshit. They had no control over what the press said about them, and you know this. Talk about an Association Fallacy.

One of the best live bands ever !

i give up

Caution: if you post this video in Facebook it will get you blocked for 24 hours for posting nudity..So f___kin' stupid this censorship stuff.

This is very good

I don't remember leaving this comment. I'll leave it up though.

You're assuming my vocabulary from a few comments? You seem smart.

wow, best argument 10/10

What? Do you want to actually make a point to refute what I said? I'd prefer that over you acting condescending.

walking through my dream an eye was youth... roses for lilies, chanticleer.

I find i do that all the time, its why the missus made me go annonymous. I like it when you post on something and youve already posted what you where going to say! Dunno what the colon is on about tho

this is there best song by far imo

Third Uncle cooks pretty good

Their best songs in order

1. Bela Lugosi’s Dead
2. Telegram Sam
3. Double Dare
4. In The Flat Field
5. Dark Entries
6. A God In an Alcove
7. Man with the X-Ray eyes
8. Passion Of Lovers
9. Hollow Hills
10. Terror Couple Kills Colonel

holy shit

A well educated band. Greek mitology studied. Rare these days

can't expect less than a band with the name Bauhaus

Explain please

-And as you peer into the abyss, curious, you're thrown in. Hence, said return. Again again again...

Oh yes. Only this hits the spot where no other can. Always sublime, my return.

Perfection.

It's probably my favorite Bauhaus song.

This whole album was fucking incredible.. its hard to say which song I like best

Genius!
