Coil (band)
Coil was an English cross-genre, experimental music group formed in 1982 by John Balance—later credited as "Jhonn Balance"—and his life partner and collaborator Peter Christopherson, aka "Sleazy". The duo worked together on a series of releases before Balance chose the name Coil, which he claimed to be inspired by the omnipresence of the coil's shape in nature. Today, Coil remains one of the most influential and best-known industrial music groups.
The group's first official release as Coil was a 1984 12" album titled How to Destroy Angels released on the Belgian Les Disques du Crépuscule's sublabel LAYLAH Antirecords. Following the 12"s success, Some Bizarre Records produced two albums, Scatology, Horse Rotorvator and Coil departed SomeBizzare Label and Produced Love's Secret Domain, which met with little commercial success, but were praised as innovative due to their blend of industrial music and acid house.
In 1985, the group began working on a series of soundtracks, amongst them music for the first Hellraiser movie based on the novel The Hellbound Heart by their acquaintance at that time, Clive Barker. The group's first live performance in 16 years occurred in 1999, and began a series of mini-tours that would last until 2004. Following the death of John Balance on 13 November 2004, Christopherson announced via their official record label website Threshold House that Coil as an entity had ceased to exist.
Coil (album)
Coil is an album by Toad the Wet Sprocket released in 1997. It is their fifth studio album, and the final one before the band broke up in 1998. As with previous albums, Coil was released under the Columbia Records label and produced by Gavin MacKillop.
This album has been praised by some as the band's most mature album. It combines themes explored in all of their previous albums - including love, spirituality and the virtues of an uncomplicated life - and it continues the straightforward rock sound found in Dulcinea. One song from the album, "Come Down", hit the Billboard Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock Charts, and the single "Crazy Life" explores the perceived injustices experienced by Leonard Peltier. "Whatever I Fear" was also released as a single but failed to chart with poor backing from Columbia Records; thus in turn, the planned fourth single "Dam Would Break" was never released.

Tunnel Of Goats I
by: CoilThe river gone, so why go on?
And the sun dissolves like [an August? a mongoose?!]
No [offence?] to the hummingbirds
No reward from the sun
On it was a hover-firefly
Even ??? been there alive
All hummingbirds must die
Do you believe in debts?
Are you ??? some [ghosts? guests?]?
I want to [believe?]
It's a certainty of animals
I want to go among the [birds?]
I will smoke across an ocean, a lagoon of fish
For fly with suicide's-eye birds
I'm so tired of the [seasons?] and the breeze and the
river
??? wasps [pollinating sores? pollen and mutating
exhaust?]
And their altered states of [merriment?]
Want to go under ???
I want you and [I need you? I'm near you?] but I can't
find you
I'm allergic to disease
Christ [I wanna be quick? Madonna, be quick?] with
[hummingbirds?] keeps falling to his knees
And then I reach the station in the heaven of glass
I'll say a little prayer for you
Then I'll cut off the heads of the birds that fly
All hummingbirds must die
All hummingbirds must die
There is no wrong, so why go on?
