Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites - Death Is Hanging Over Me

from the album "Texas"
Lyrics:
Death is hanging over me
Though this room is seldom cold
Rosewood candles light the way
Along this tarnished road.
Death is hanging over me
In it's empty covered shroud
Death is hanging over me
And it could never seem too loud.
It's waiting in my arms
Like a perfect glimpse of white
A thousand islands twist and fall
In the morning light.
Death is hanging over me
It merely twists and falls
Death is hanging over me
But I can't hear it at all.
My death waits there

This song is so underrated... I'll never get tired of it. So pure and beautiful melody, RIP Nikki 🤍

Für meinen lieben Freund Matze Schmidt. Der leider Weihnachten von mir gegangen ist. Er war Bassmann bei Nikki Sudden in Berlin....que descanses en paz, querido amigo

Most underrated band! R.I.P. Nikki Sudden

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

I met Nikki when I got a saturday job at vintage magazines in cambridge circus. He was a swell map.

[@Lemonheart69]

I adored his records in the mid-eighties...why he never got really famous, I don't know...he was BRILLIANT, something totally sui generis...

This effing great song has been on my playlists and cassettes since I heard it in late 80s.
