Song lyrics
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now bleed for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Venus In Furs is a book writen by Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch in the late 1870's. He was one of the first writer of sexual fetish. His name is where we get the word masochist from.

Severin was the name of the the character in the book Venus In Furs.

well... even though the song pretty much sums up masoch's book, the book itself is also worth checking out, read it and see exactly why the song is so spinecilling

Wow, I am definitely checking that book out! Thanx!

Anywho, this song is forking awesome. It's so strange and pretty and I looooove how it speaks of shiny boots (I have a foot fetish) and bleeding and whips. This song is probably my favourite VU song.
