    If your eyes are already tired because you've watched all those videos... listen to my Pick Of The Week!

    White Door - Windows (1983)


    It's not very popular but I think it's a valuable addition to every new romantic collection.

    Today's Lyrics

    Prefab Sprout - Appetite

    Please be careful is never careful
    Till it hears the gun
    She will always pay the bills
    For the having big fun
    He talks so well, what can you do,
    It’s pretty plain he means it too
    I don’t want to sell you lines,
    I only mean to do you right
    But I’m a simple slave of appetite,
    I’m a poor slave of appetite

    Hunger howls, hungers red,
    Hungers stays till it’s fed
    Then it some h-h-how fades,
    Then it somehow leaves your sight
    Depending on it’s appetite,
    Depending on your appetite

    So if you take - then put back good
    If you steal - be robin hood
    If your eyes are wanting all you see
    Then I think I’ll name you after me
    I think I’ll call you appetite

    Here she is with two small problems
    And the best part of the blame
    Wishes she could call him heartache
    But it’s not a boy’s name

    If you grow up to be, just like him, just like me
    You’re fighting for exclusive rights,
    For honeymoons each sleepless night
    In which case I’ll call you appetite
    Yes I think I’ll call you appetite

    So if you take - then put back good
    If you steal - be robin hood
    If your eyes are wanting all you see
    Then I think I’ll name you after me
    I think I’ll call you appetite

    So if you take - then put back good
    If you steal - be robin hood
    If your eyes are wanting all you see
    Then I think I’ll name you after me
    I think I’ll call you appetite

    Then I think I’ll name you after me
    I think I’ll call you appetite

    Today's Lyrics

    Orange Juice - Rip It Up

    When I first saw you
    Something stirred within me
    You were standing sutry in the rain
    If I could've held you
    I would've held you
    Rip it up and start again

    Rip it up and start again
    Rip it up and start again
    I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
    I hope to God
    I hope to God
    And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
    I hope to God
    I hope to God

    And when I next saw you
    My heart reached out for you
    But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
    If I could've held you
    I would've held you
    But I'd choke rather than swallow my pride
    Rip it up and start again

    Rip it up and start again
    Rip it up and start again
    I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
    I hope to God
    I hope to God
    And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
    I hope to God
    I hope to God

    And there was times I'd take my pen
    And feel obliged to start again
    I do profess
    That there are things in life
    That one can't quite express
    You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
    You know this scene is very humdrum
    And my favourite song's entitled 'boredom'

    Rip it up and start again
    I said rip it up and start again
    I said rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and start again

    Today's Lyrics

    The Human League - Sound of the Crowd

    Put your hand in a party wave
    Pass around
    Make a shroud pulling combs through a backwash frame
    Find the copies in a carbon mount
    Pass around
    Stroke a pocket with a print of a laughing sound

    Get around town
    Get around town
    Where the people look good
    Where the music is loud
    Get around town
    No need to stand proud
    Add your voice to the sound of the crowd

    The shades from a pencil peer
    Pass around
    A fold in an eyelid brushed with fear
    The lines on a compact guide
    Pass around
    A hat with alignment worn insde

    Get around town
    Get around town
    Where the people look good
    Where the music is loud
    Get around town
    No need to stand proud
    Add your voice to the sound of the crowd

    Get in line now
    Get in line now
    Stay in time with the rhythm and rhyme
    Get around town
    Get around town
    Where the people look good
    Where the music is loud
    Get around town
    No need to stand proud
    Add your voice to the sound of the crowd

    Get around town
    Get around town
    Where the people look good
    Where the music is loud
    Get around town
    No need to stand proud
    Add your voice to the sound of the crowd

    Get around town
    Get around town
    Where the people look good
    Where the music is loud
    Get around town
    No need to stand proud
    Add your voice to the sound of the crowd
