    Talking late 80's gothic group

    I am trying to remember the name of an obscure band from the late 80's. I had the tape, but for the life of me, I can't think of one single song title or the group's name. I remember that it was sort of a gothic type group, with a female singing. I can only think of a few of the lyrics, and I don't think that they are from the same song, but here are a few of them, one was in a talking-like witch voice that says "Double Double Toil and Trouble, fire burns and cauldron’s bubble" (I know, it is a Shakespeare quote - but it was in the song as well). Also, I remember something about "strawberry wishes and tangerine dreams". And the last thing I remember is something about "Tubular Bells". I am racking my brain to remember them...any help would do!

    Hi Findjenna,
    Mike Oldfield had an album called "tubular bells" it was in the 80s but his music was far from gothic music.
    But maybe this helps you any further.

    I think this artist was making lyrics out of other songs... Tubular Bells is the theme song to The Exorcist and i'm positive that "strawberry wishes and tangerine dreams" is from a song also...
    "And the music shall set you free..."

    Default I think I know what you're looking for.

    you were looking for a late 80's song that has the lyrics of "double double toil and trouble", but the actual lyrics are "My love potion boils and bubbles, poison darts red poison apples". I think you're looking for the song "Witchcraft" by "Book of Love". They had a few hits in the 80's and fell under the genre of Industrial Music. Other songs include "I touch roses" and "pretty boys and pretty girls".

    Hope this helps and that this is what you were looking for.
