71: Fine Young Cannibals: She Drives Me Crazy Here’s some easy ones…to me at least 🙂 1. I feel an animal deep inside/Heel to haunch on bended knees/Living on and if I tried/Somebody send me please/Dream wars and a ticket to seem/Giving out and in/Selling the don’t belong/Well, what do you say/D’you have a word for giving away?/Got a song for me? 2. We serve an old moan in a dry season/A lighthouse keeper in the desert run/Dreamers of sleepers and white treason/We dream of rain and the hist’ry of the gun/There’s a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia/A white house in a red square/I’m living in films for the sake of Russia/A keno runner for the DDR/And the 52 daughters of the revolution/Turn the gold to chrome/Gift…Nothing to lose/Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home 3. (technically not 80s but a cover band DID play this in the 80s) By the Salvation Army band/Down by the riverside, it’s bound to be a better ride/Than what you’ve got planned/Carry your cup in your hand 4. In the locust wind/Comes a rattle and hum/Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome/Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire/See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher 5. No one beats him at his game/For very long but just the same/Who cares there’s no place safe to hide/Nowhere to run - no time to cry/So celebrate while you still can/Cause any second it may end/And when it’s all been said and done/Better that you had some fun! can’t get faded flowers out of my head now…whcih explaines some of these songs 🙂 ---

(Just to prove it, I first wrote Frank Durst in this post, but then remembered his name at the last minute.
