Death in June are a neofolk group led by English folk musician Douglas Pearce, better known as Douglas P. The band was originally formed in Britain in 1981 as a trio, but after the other members left in 1984 and 1985 to work on other projects, the group became the work of Douglas P. and various collaborators. Douglas P. now lives in Australia.
Over the band's three decades of existence, they have made numerous shifts in style and presentation, resulting in an overall shift from initial post-punk and Industrial Records influence to a more acoustic and folk music-oriented approach. They are sometimes considered controversial (largely due to usage of themes and imagery relating to Nazi Germany). Douglas P.'s influence was instrumental in sparking neofolk, of which his music has subsequently become a part.
Pearce formed Death in June in 1981 in England, along with Patrick Leagas and Tony Wakeford. Pearce and Wakeford had been members of the political punk band Crisis, which formed in 1977. Crisis had gained a substantial following in the UK punk subculture. Crisis performed at rallies for The Right to Work, Rock Against Racism, and the Anti-Nazi League.
When I want you, need you, hate you, now
My life still to goes by
Burning flames on my red eyes are falling down
Still falling down tonight
My time it's over now but I don't give up
I don't give up for now
I need to go home to stay alone
Turning off the light
I see your face
Your face is lied to me
Don't wanna see it again!
I see your face
Your face is jocking me
Don't wanna see it again!
Thinking my past times I know my best things
But no one now knows the truth
My words are lies now bouncing on the walls
Over my bedroom
I'm sick of all this world
That make feel out of place
I'm sick of all this things
That make me change make me change!
I see your face
Your face is lied to me
Don't wanna see it again!
I see your face
Your face is jocking me
Don't wanna see it again!
No love now
No friends now
No place to stay
