Razorblade Romance (1999) Razor10

Released December 19, 1999


The second studio album by HIM, released on December 19, 1999 in Finland and January 24, 2000 in rest of Europe - save for the UK, where it was released May 15 2000. It was produced by John Fryer and distributed by the local BMG company. All songs and lyrics on the album, with the exception of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, are composed by Ville Valo.

This is the album that made HIM huge in Europe when their single Join Me In Death was featured in the sci-fi movie The Thirteenth Floor. It reached #1 on German sales charts, going platinum, and is the biggest-selling single in Finnish music history.

Razorblade Romance was released in the U.S. under the moniker "HER". There was a jazz band in Chicago named HiM who did not want to give up the rights to their name, but eventually HIM bought the rights to use their name in the United States and now can release their albums under it.

1) I Love You (Prelude to Tragedy)

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

Can't you see my darling
That the harder I try
The more we grow apart
Please believe me
The sweeter the kiss
The colder turn your arms
And the colder grows your heart
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

And you're in my heart my darling
The closer I get
The more you're out of love
Don't you feel it
The colder your touch
The more it turns me on
And the faster beats my heart
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in your touch
I taste it from your lips
And baby more I love you

2) Poison Girl

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love's heart is death
For me and my poison girl

A prey she was for the cruelty of love
While its serpent inside crawled straight towards her heart
The coldest kiss love ceased to exist
While we grew apart like never before

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love wants us dead
Just me and my poison girl

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love's heart is death
For me and my poison girl

the fire in her eyes
grew dim and then died
as the poison inside
reached her heart

And the coldest kiss
faith ceased to exist
as we grew apart
like never before

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love wants us dead
Just me and my poison girl

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love's heart is death
For me and my poison girl


And the taste of the poison on her lips is of a tomb

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love wants us dead
Just me and my poison girl

I did it all just for her
I did it all just for her
And love's heart is death
For me and my poison girl

Poison girl (4X)

And love's heart is death
For me and my poison girl
In this poison world

3) Join Me In Death

Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death
Baby join me in death

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world

and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
was so anxious to be together
together in death

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

This world is a cruel place
and we're here only to lose
so before live tears us apart let
death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living
this live ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death
Won't you die
Baby join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love
Baby join me in death

Baby join me in death

4) Right Here In My Arms

She is smiling like heaven's down on earth
Sun is shining so bright on her
All her wishes have finally come true
Her heart is weeping. This happiness is killing her.
It's right, she's in love

She'll be right here in my arms
So in Love
She'll be right here in these arms
She can't let go

Repeat

So hard she's trying
But her heart won't turn to stone...oh no
She keeps on crying
But I won't leave her alone
She'll never be alone

She'll be right here in my arms
So in Love
She'll be right here in these arms
She can't let go

Repeat

---

5) Gone With The Sin

I love your skin oh so white
I love your touch cold as ice
And I love every single tear you cry
I just love the way you're losing your life

Ohohohohoh my Baby, how beautiful you are
Ohohohohoh my Darling, completely torn apart
You're gone with the sin my Baby and beautiful you are
You're gone with the sin my Darling

I adore the despair in your eyes
I worship your lips once red as wine
I crave for your scent sending shivers down my spine
I just love the way you're running out of life

Ohohohohoh my Baby, how beautiful you are
Ohohohohoh my Darling, completely torn apart
You're gone with the sin my Baby and beautiful you are
You're gone with the sin my Darling

Solo

2x Repeat Refrain

6) Razorblade Kiss

I taste death in every kiss we share
Every sundown seems to be the last we have
Your breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting

Mmhhh mmmhhhh

Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise our sins are forgiven
Uh.uh
You on my skin this must be the end
The only way you can love me is to hurt me again
And again
And again
And again

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Oh the taste from your lips, my Darling
Taste from your lips, oh my Love

Only inside I'm free
I'm tired of waiting
You've got to let me dream
Inside you Baby
I'm not afraid to feel
I want you to love me
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

7) Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart

Let me wake up in your arms
Hear you say it's not alright
Let me be self dead and gone
So far away from life
Close my eyes
Hold me tight
And bury me deep inside your heart

All I ever wanted was you, my love
You...all I ever wanted is you, my love
Your're all I ever wanted, just you

Let me never see the sun
And never see you smile
Let us be so dead and so gone
So far away from life
Just close my eyes
Hold me tight
And bury me deep inside your heart

All I ever wanted was you, my love
You...all I ever wanted is you, my love
You're all I ever wanted, you, oh my love
You're all I ever wanted, you, my love

That's the way it's always been
My heart stops beating only for you Baby
Only for you Darling

All I ever wanted was you, my love
You...all I ever wanted is you, my love
You're all I ever wanted, you, my love
You're all I ever wanted, you, my love

Cool Heaven Tonight

I hold your hand in mine
I hold your hand and you're so lonely
Oh so lonely
Your eyes have lost their light
Your eyes have lost their light and you're empty
Oh my God you're so empty

(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight

Trying to find the heart you hide
Trying to find the heart you hide in vain
Oh in vain
And you're my haven in life
And you're my haven in death, Baby
Life and Death my Darling

(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)

Repeat

That's right
(I'm in love with you)
That's right
(I'm in love with you)
That's right
(I'm in love with you)
That's right
(I'm in love with you)

9) Death Is In Love With Us

I know it hurts too much
I know that you're scared
I know you're running out of trust
Wishing you were dead

In your misery
You're not alone
So come share your tears with me
And witness it all go wrong

I know it and I feel it
Just as well as you do, Honey
It's not our fault if death's in love with us oh oh
It's not our fault if the reaper holds our hearts

41+66.6 = our loss
We're breathing only to fade away
We're running just to get caught

What love's lies blessed
What love's light cursed
Just fear for the best
And hope for our worst

I know it and I feel it
Just as well as you do, Honey
It's not our fault if death's in love with us oh oh
It's not our fault if the reaper holds our hearts

Death's in love with us oh oh
The Reaper holds our hearts oh oh
Death's in love with us oh oh
And the Reaper holds our hearts oh oh

I know it and I feel it
Just as well as you do, Honey
It's not our fault if death's in love with us oh oh
It's not our fault if the reaper holds our hearts

10) Resurrection

There was a time
When I could breath my life in you
One by one
Your pale fingers started to move
And I touched your face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(falling from grace)

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

You kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You reached out for me
And oh how you missed
You touched my face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(falling from grace)

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

---

11) One Last Time

Is it so hard to believe our hearts
Are made to be broken by love
That in constant dying lies
The beauty of it all
My darling won't you feel
The sweet heaven in
Our endless cry

Oh at least you could trust
For this one last time

So amazed how bright are the flames
We are burning in
Ever smiled at the tragedies
We hold inside
My darling won't you cherish
The fear of life that keeps
You and me so alive

Oh at least you could trust
For this one last time
It could be alright
For this one last time

Oh at least you could trust
(and we just will be closer)
For this one last time
(let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(don't let us grow colder)
For this one last time
(let me close to your heart)

Oh at least you could trust
(and before it's all over)
For this one last time
(let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(before it's all over)
For this one last time
(let me close to your heart)

12) Sigillum Diaboli

I can't see as I'm facing your pityful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your christ and I want you
I just woke up for hearse and you know it as well as I do

Yes you do, my Darling
Yes you do..oh
Yes you do, oh my Love

13) The 9th Circle (OST)

Is it so hard to believe the hearts are made to be broken
Can't you see that the beauty of love lies in constant times
Don't you want our hearts to be torn wide open
Won't you feel the heaven in our endless cry

Oh at least you could try

For this one last time
Let me fall into your arms

It could be alright
Don't let us grow any colder
For this one last time

Ever amazed how bright are the flames we are burning in
Ever smiled of the tragedies we have locked deep inside
Aren't you obsessed by our hand was on the verge of beginning
Won't you cherish your fear of life that keeps us alive

Ville Valo song by song



I Love You

We thought about this one a lot while we were doing the first album, and we did a million versions of it. We had to record this one just because of the title, because those three words are the beginning of every tragedy. A good intro to the record: short, tight, and hits you in the face. And if anyone who hears Join Me in Death thinks that we are just doing that posing-with-bulges-in-our-too-tight-pants glam thing, this proves that we have some vitality.
taken from -==HIMpage==-
A song that we first played in the Soundgarden of Dortmund, it was two days after I wrote it. It worked at once and it opens the album. You can laugh, but for me it sounds like a mix of D:A:D and the Sisters of Mercy. The lyrics are about love, just as the most of mine. But it has an unusual point of view, just as if David Lynch would do a romantic movie. [Break Out 02/00]


Poison Girl


This song is about a certain girl and how you can destroy something beautiful. This isn't a song about hate; it's about asking for forgiveness. All of my songs are about real relationships: there's nothing fake about them. I've never liked building fantasy worlds. The texts are personal therapy, so I'm saving a little money here. Actually I'm making a little.....taken from -==HIMpage==-
"Really no hate-song, even if some people said so. I specially like the lyrics, they´re about a girl whom I like and whom I´ve treated in not such a nice way. I have posioned her in a figurative way."[Break Out 02/00]


Join Me in Death

think this is one of the weaker tracks on the album. The piano is nice, but maybe the song doesn't mean anything to me because it's not about real life. This is an old song-the first demo was done in January '98-and I've already gotten sick of it, because it's just the same simple thing over and over......taken from -==HIMpage==-
"A quite old and in a pessimistic way optimistic song. The main melody was done in a some hours, but it too about half a year to do the whole arrangement. The lyrics are a modern adaption of the story of "Romeo and Juliet". Two people in love who feel misunderstood by their family and all the world. Many mistook the song and said, it would be about suicide. But that´s just wrong. It´s more a melancholic hymn, like "When love and death embrace" of the first album. And I really didn´t think of vampires, though you had that interpretation when we last met. The lyrics aren´t that gothic at all."[Break Out 02/00]
"I hope the listeners are intelligent enough to know, that this is just about a nice story like Romeo and Juliet's. If I took my own lyrics too serious, I wouldn't sit here, but would be lying in my own grave instead."[from the interview with Jörg Staude]
"Join me wasn't specially written for the movie. This song which tells a story in the line of Romeo and Juliet, existed months before it was picked for The 13th Floor" [Elegy 2000]



Right Here in My Arms


An old song, a back-to-the-eighties Billy Idol ripoff. The video could have babes with big tits hanging around backstage. I wanted to get that feeling that you had when the last song was playing at the school dance and you wanted to dance and get close to that girl that you really liked. I didn't get too close very often. So this is my revenge. I have a really fucking bad emotional fixation......taken from -==HIMpage==-



Gone with the Sin


This is one of my favorite tracks-probably for the other guys also. It's not very HIM. It's light and you can find a little country twang in it if you look hard enough. It's a really simple love song, but the cliches have been turned around. It's like a negative version of everything........taken from -==HIMpage==-



"Razorblade Kiss"



This is a tribute to Kiss and rock and roll. The only track without a real melody. Some German critics said that my voice sounds like early Ozzy on this one. I hadn't thought about it that way myself, and I really got a lump in my throat when I heard all of the positive reactions. Maybe Ozzy's spirit descended on me while I was singing this one in the booth.....taken from -==HIMpage==-



Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart


Depeche Mode meets Roxette. Eighties stadium music, even though it has been done as a rock and roll tune and with the warmth of the nineties. The guitars work well. Goddam, I hate talking about my own songs. Thery're all about women......taken from -==HIMpage==-


Heaven Tonight


My idea of heaven is a little unusual. We're probably in heaven when we're in an airplane. This is a really simple symbolic reference. Heaven is when something happy happens. It could mean getting some pussy or catching a fish or getting a record. Small wishes come true all the time, but in this business there is no heaven there: there's no moment that I can say "I've got it all." That's what makes it interesting......taken from -==HIMpage==-


Death is in Love with Us


The working title of this song was 666 Medley, because we wanted to get evil onto this album too. At first we thought this would be the first cut on the album. It's fast, short, and to the point, but not dark. It says "Baby, it's not our fault if the man with the scythe digs us. If he digs black lips and hair and white skin, it doesn't mean that everything is fucked." This is a goth anthem... taken from -==HIMpage==-



Resurrection


If Bon Jovi had put on goth makeup and done a video, this would have been the result. This is going for the feeling that you get when you've seen a Kiss video for the first time on TV. Sing-along, larger-than-life stadium love-in... taken from -==HIMpage==-



One Last Time

This is totally different from any of those other songs. The idea was that it would be nice to end the album with something a little cheerier. We'll probably never play this on tour. We broke away from the HIM sound for this one. When you listen through all the different things on the album and you get to this at the end, it leaves the future open. It's like, "What the fuck?" ........taken from -==HIMpage==-

Which Birdie Has Your Husband Got His Eye On - On The Golf Course

Why is it that women/wives etc intend not to take much interest in their spouse's past time of playing golf. How many ladies have sat back and denied themselves a game due to the fact that they feel that this game is not for TaylorMade Burner SuperFast Driver?
Don't knock it till you try it there are great many women who enjoy swinging a golf stick on the green but sadly the female species consider retirement age is the best time to take up this sport. How wrong they are TaylorMade R9 460 Driver.
This is a game that provides the young and old with a mixture of emotions, happiness/contentment/peace/tranquillity and at the same time a guaranteed feeling of satisfaction.
Men and women who love the game to an extent where they reach a certain level love the fact that they are now in a position to qualify and play in tournaments with TaylorMade R9 Driver. Ishiner
