"Traffic's wild tonight"
Diamond smiles her cocktail smile.
Tonight she's in heavy disquise.
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time.

    Huge favourite of mine of Bob's, the lyrics are so acidic and clever," the girl in the cake jumped out too soon by mistake", priceless Bob I get your drift!

    one of my all time top 50 records .......... Nobody saw her go, They said they should have noticed 'cos her dress was cut so low. Well it only goes to show Ha, ha, how many real men any of us know. She went up the stairs, Stood up on the vanity chair, Tied her lamee belt around the chandelier, And went out kicking at the perfumed air. GENIUS

    sounds a bit like Love Vigilante by New Order or the other way round. Surprisingly good.
