Well it would have been answered if my post hadn’t refused to post last night. (Grrrrrr)
Shriekback- Faded Flowers
Good band. Lovely song.
What number are we up to?
41. “There’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us…”
“Five pound blocks of cheese. Bags of groceries. Social Security has run out for you and me.”
“Now it’s 1984 know know at you’re front door. It’s the seude/denim secret poice. They’ve come for your uncool niece.”
(All frm the same '80 genre, heretofor underrepresnted in this thread.)
Well, I listened to it in the '80’s.
It is sooo not '80s. I just looked it up and it’s from The Heat is On from 1975. Ooops! No wonder it took a while to guess.
“Heaven help us”? Not sure who sings it but it’s on the Footloose soundtrack.
Here’s mine in case I’m right…
I guess I shoulda known by the way
you parked your car sideways
that it wouldn’t last
see you’re the kinda person that
believes in makin’ out once
love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
'cuz you had a pocket full of horses
trojan and some of them used
but it was Saturday night,
I guess that makes it all right
and you say what have I got to lose?
and honey I say…
And in the road before us
Stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than the air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
41: “Let’s Start a War” by Fear
47: “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies.
Just to move away from the “Repo Man” soundtack for a minute:
"Now the time has come at last (Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)/To throw away this mask (Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)/Now everyone can see (Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)/My true identity.
“If you want to be rich, you got to be a bitch.”
“I can’t believe it/There she goes again/She’s tidied up and I can’t find anything”
She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby.
52. Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star died his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Ok, I’ll go ahead and repost the one I put up on page one:
Let me tell you what I say when I’m dealing with a funky sidewalk. Let me tell you what I say when I’ve got to do my funky walk. Let me tell you what I say when I’m dealing with a funky sidewalk, I say: SSHHHHHHHHHH -UGA!
why can’t i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that’s served?
why can’t they see they’re just like me it’s
the same, it’s the same in the whole wide world
o, why can’t i live a life for me? why should i
take the abuse that’s served? why can’t they see
they’re just like me i’m not the one that’s so
absurd why hide it?
We sit glued to the TV all night/and every night why go into the outside world at all/It’s such a fright/We’ve got nothing better to do, than watch TV and have a couple of brews.
TV news shows what it’s like out there/It’s a scare you can go out, if you want, we wouldn’t dare! We’ve got nothing better to do, than watch TV and have a couple of brews.
Don’t talk about anything else/we don’t want to know, we’re dedicated to our favorite shows.
