Notes

From: Richard Blomqvist
E-mail: [email protected]What is the most unusual thing that you ever have sampled?
Dan Miller saying 'Horse' repeatedly very fast (as used in 'Fly On The Windscreen').
This "horse" sample is the "breath sample noise" that Gareth Jones mentions above.
Martin Gore told Electronics and Music Magazine in 1986:
"There's a Black & Decker drill in the opening of 'Fly on the Windscreen' [...]."
Lyrics
Fly On The Windscreen
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen
Come here
Touch me
Kiss me
Touch me
Now
Touch me
Touch me
