Bauhaus wrote "of Lillies and Remains" together, Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins sharing the credit, and produced it themselves for Mask, their second album, released in October 1981 as their first on Beggars Banquet after they outgrew what 4AD could offer.
Mask was where the band started stretching, bringing in keyboards, acoustic guitar, funk rhythms and saxophone, and the credits on this track show the same restless streak. Ash plays saxophone as well as guitar, Haskins adds percussion on top of his drums, David J holds down the bass, and the vocals are split among Murphy, Ash and David J.
