I See Ghosts is an unidentified but almost solved post-punk song. It was posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm on August 23rd, 2012. Guglielm reposted the song to WatZatSong on September 7th, 2014, but the post was deleted. It was recorded around 1980-1984/1991-1993 off radio station WFMU. It was tagged as “Network - I See Ghosts”.
On August 4, 2024, a band called Network was found on a WFMU page, and a song called "Soldier of Fortune" was found credited to them, with identical vocals and style to this song.
Lyrics[]
Deep into the night I see the hollow of his voice across the room
All across the wall I see a dancing shadow howling at the moon
[Following me] into my closet stab me in the face
Sometimes when I’m alone and sometimes in a public place
I see ghosts
I see ghosts
Lying on my pillow is a vision that I do not understand
Oh, sometimes it’s a hero and other times, it’s just a man
Oh, skeletons inside my closet stab me in the face
Sometimes when I’m alone and sometimes in a public place
Oh more ghosts
Oh ghosts are all around
I see ghosts
Oh, but no one can be found
Oh, they won’t me live
’Til I give all I can give to the ghosts
Case full of resentments
I convinced myself that I deserve to [go]
A shelf full of regrets for the times I never called you on the phone
Oh, carrying on my shoulders, the burdens of the past
Some day I will be free and I’ll be (going last)
Oh, more ghosts
Oh, ghosts are in my brain
I see ghosts
And they’re driving me insane
Oh they won’t let me live
’Til I give all I can give to the ghosts
To the ghosts
Oh more ghosts
Ooh, ghosts are all around
I see ghosts
But no one can be found
Everyday I walk a line but it’s all inside my mind
Ooh, ghosts are in my brain, I see ghosts
They are driving me insane
Oh they won’t let me live
’Til I give all I can give to ghosts
To the ghosts
To the ghosts
I see ghosts x14
