The Electrician Lyrics

Baby it's slow
When the lights go low
There's no help no

Baby it's slow
When the lights go low
There's no help no

He's drilling thru the Spiritus Sanctus tonight
Through the dark hip falls screaming, Oh you mambos
Kill me and kill me and kill me

If I jerk
The handle
You'll die in your dreams
If I jerk
The handle
Jerk
The handle
You'll thrill me and thrill me and thrill me

Baby it's slow
When the lights go low
There's no help no

Cover art for The Electrician lyrics by Walker Brothers, The

"a political song . . . having to do with . . . the Americans sending in these people, trained torturers in South America . . . I imagined these lovers in a conversation . . . if you listen the words of The Electrician it really explains itself after Ive started." - Scott Walker in a 1984 radio interview

Cover art for The Electrician lyrics by Walker Brothers, The

as a south american, and knowing about the tortures he mentions... i love how Scott Walker has this mysterious way of writing that keeps me thinking and listening, thinking and listening, thinking and listening... again and again... i think that i can actually put myself in the scene, and feel what's going as a victim... screaming "oh you mambos! kill me and kill me and kill me"
