What song are you listening to right now?

Having just seen a TV advert using this, from 1981, see if you remember this one from Tenpole Tudor?

 
Gotta love a band with album titles like "The mockery of optimism" and "It only takes a few cracks to create a pattern".



The Colour of Drowning

A simple pastime can fulfill you
While a coincidence can separate death from me.
But I didn't know if you had come home,
Danced with a lowered gaze
When a love song echoed out about how
the underclass was betrayed

She said, "Let this be our common decay,
Like when the sea assumes the color of drowning. "
And she said, "The Bacardi brings out the worst in you,
Like when the sea assumes the color of drowning. "

I can stay here and become someone better
Have some doubts about how I got here.
Carlo Rolan was played at a sweaty club
And they danced with a lowered gaze
When a love song echoed out about how
the underclass was betrayed

She says that: "Let this be our common decay,
Like when the sea assumes the color of drowning. "
And she says, "The Bacardi brings out the worst in you,
Like when the sea assumes the color of drowning. "
 
Swedish Morrissey fans from Gothenburg who sounded like a swedish tribute to Joy Division at the best of times and their members always popped up at every Moz gig in Sweden.

This is a song about death called "To thereafter experience silence".



The lyrics translated from swedish to english for my friend the holiday maker.

To Thereafter Experience Silence

"Deviates and excludes reactions
Have lost my quest for more
Now that all youth has been endured
In vain focus on better answers

Too late to establish pride
And turn your back away from hatred
When even perfection
appear a bit meekly
Subsumed under self-preservation
Which leads to the ropes of curtains"
 
Gotta love a band with album titles like "The mockery of optimism" and "It only takes a few cracks to create a pattern".

*Carlo Rolan it states but he sings Dexys (midnight runners).
 


I Love You


There is something that never fits
But they do not know what we have
For when the intentions are limiting
You always get miserable answers.

If only you could see
Things I can't describe
Like how I try to defend my life
Or that I love you.

It's time to stop waiting
for distance to carve out shells
Because you give me a perspective;
A certainty that you are the only one
I can rest with.

I love you.
 
OMD 'almost' from their eponymous debut album 'Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark'. Brilliant electronica album.

Moz put me off OMD for years when he said they named The Smiths in protest of bands like OMD with overblown names. And how they hated 'sterile' bands making music in a bedroom with a keyboard. Now I realise Moz was wrong with his narrowminded outlook. I love the first three OMD albums.
