_I Alone_ - Live, Throwing Copper album (a love song from Lucifer to us – genius! More sympathy for the devil in this song than that other one.)

\*it’s easier not to be wise  
and measure these things by your brains  
I sank into eden with you  
alone in the church by and by

I’ll read to you here, save your eyes  
you’ll need them, your boat is at sea  
your anchor is up, you’ve been swept away  
and the greatest of teachers won’t hesitate  
to leave you there, by yourself,  
chained to fate

I alone love you  
I alone tempt you  
I alone love you  
fear is not the end of this! …\*

The Pogues have “The Turkish Song of the Damned” and “Sit Down By the Fire,” which are about demons and ghost pirates, if not the devil himself.

Actually, the Prelude of Fire (on the S/E album) is even more appropriate:

Ya know, they just don’t get that stoned any more.

Wouldn’t it be better to salute him with some evil classical music such as Bridge of Khazad Dum from the FOTR soundtrack, “The Orgy” from Conan, or O fortuna from Carmina Burana?

Hi, god of hell-fire.

_Toccata and Fugue in D Minor_, J.S.Bach  
_Believe_ by Cher… no, too cruel.

Devil In My Car, by the B52’s  
Rather Be The Devil, by John Martyn  
Jazz Devil, by Barry Adamson  
And last, but certainly not least, Flying, by the Butthole Surfers: “…and son, if you see your Mom this weekend, be sure and tell her SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!” {I’m not sure the drugs are any weaker than in the days of The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown}.
