about this song
"The Only Time" is the ninth track on the 1989 release Pretty Hate Machine. The song references "Down In It" in its use of the same recognizable melodic synth voice. This is the final album version. A distorted guitar overdub in the instrumental end of the song segues directly into "Ringfinger." The track also samples a snippet of female backing vocals that were recorded for "So Alive" by Love And Rockets. Last performed during the Self-Destruct Tour with new guitar riffs
