Black sky blue world green eyes
And you'll come running
To the dark side of the moon
And 'though you'll never find us
We'll still be watching you
Come on, tune in to the life
Black sky blue world green eyes
No peace for the wicked
No rest for the good
No use in pretending
That love is in your blood
Come on, tune in to the life
Black sky blue world green eyes
Come on
I ain't gonna sing that devil shit
Come on
Black Sky
Shakespear's Sister's 'Black Sky' stands as a defining track within the band's influential post-punk and shoegaze discography. Released during the late 1980s, the song exemplifies the group's signature blend of atmospheric textures and driving rhythms that characterized their work on albums like 'The Great Escape' and 'The Great Escape II'. The recording captures the era's emerging sound, merging the melodic sensibilities of The Cure with the darker, more experimental edge of The Jesus and Mary Chain. As a staple of the band's catalogue, 'Black Sky' remains a critical touchstone for fans of the genre, showcasing Shakespear's Sister's ability to craft hauntingly beautiful yet gritty compositions that have endured as a benchmark for 80s alternative rock.
