Roxy Music - Same Old Scene

Same Old Scene was featured during the opening credits of the movie Times Square, both are from 1980. It was also used in the popular british TV series "Ashes to Ashes", which prompted it to climb iTunes charts last year.






Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Will I still survive
The same old scene?
In our lighter moments
precious few
It's all that heavy weather
We're going through
When I turn the corner
I can't believe
It's still the same old movie
That's haunting me
Young loving may be
Oh so mean
Trying to revive
The same old scene
Young loving may be
So extreme
Maybe we should try
The same old scene

Nothing lasts forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more

Papas Fritas - Way You Walk

Here's a catchy tune from Buildings And Grounds, released in the year 2000.





I can tell by the way you walk you wanna be alone with him
Cause you're pacing at an open door, you're waiting and you can't come in

Why do you make up all these stories
Made up your mind, decided for me
I can tell by the way you walk you wanna be alone with him

When you called me on the telephone I knew that you were miles away
'Cause the words that you said to me weren't hiding what you couldn't say

Plans sort of changed up for the weekend
Friend came to town been years since I seen him
I can tell by the way you talk you wanna be alone with him

Ooo Ooo alone with him.

He was in my dreams
What else could it mean

When you laugh at me behind my back I'll turn and you can run away
Will you tell him all the special things you told me you could never say

I never said I'd be yours only, I didn't know until you told me
If I go I won't be lonely, If I stay now you don't own me
I can tell by the way you smile your love is changing on a whim

Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I do and maybe I don't

Young Marble Giants - N.I.T.A.

A track from their only LP Colossal Youth, 1980.

Here's a live performance - the sound quality is poor and the image isn't much better, but it's still nice that there's a video:




It's nice to hear you're having a good time
But it still hurts 'cos you used to be mine
This doesn't mean that I possessed you
You're haunting me because I let you

Shape up your body "Let's be a tree"
Visual dynamics for you to see
Nature intended the abstract for you and me

No rain outside but tears in my eyes
Out on the rooftop for a surprise
Call you at teatime
In off the street
Sit down at table, Mummy is neat

The Smiths - What do you see in him?

This song is a rare bootleg recording of an early version of "wonderful woman". I've been rattling my brains trying to figure out these lyrics... The ones below are taken from passionsjustlikemine.com.
If there are any morrissey-a-holics in the audience, I'd like to point out that his new single is now on myspace. I have to say I am a little bit intrigued/puzzled/amused/scared by this new album cover picture.

Oh the nights are too long
When the questions are lost
I try
But i will never understand

What do you see in her?
What do you see in her?
I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her

Cheat the Life out of me
As you walk hand in hand
And I try, and I try, and I try
But I will never understand

What do you see in her?
I ask myself
What do you see in him?
I love her, I love her, I love her

That she will plague you
And I will be glad
Yes, he will leave you
And I will be glad

The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me

As requested by Willem, here's Elisabeth Shue doing her little dance to The Crystals' Then He Kissed Me (from the movie Adventures in Babysitting).
The song was released as a single in 1963.

edit: And here's a cover by The Flying Lizards!




Well he walked up to me
And he asked me if I wanted to dance
He looked kinda nice
And so I said I might take a chance
When he danced he held me tight
And when he walked me home that night
All the stars were shining bright
And then he kissed me

Each time I saw him
I couldn't wait to see him again
I wanted to let him know
That he was more than a friend
I didn't know just what to do
So I whispered I love you
And he said that he loved me too
And then he kissed me

He kissed me in a way
That I've never been kissed before
He kissed me in a way
That I wanna be kissed forever more

I knew that he was mine
So I gave him all the love that I had
And one day he took me home
To meet his mom and his dad
Then he asked me to be his bride
And always be right by his side
I felt so happy I almost cried
And then he kissed me

Then he asked me to be his bride
And always be right by his side
I felt so happy I almost cried
And then he kissed me
And then he kissed me
And then he kissed me

DÖF - Codo

Earth has been ruled by Hate for a good 2000 years when Codo (Cosmischer Dolm) finally comes from outer space to save it, bringing love and joy to the planet and thus defeating Hate.

Seit 2.000 Jahren lebt die Erde ohne Liebe.
Es regiert der Herr des Hasses.

Hässlich, ich bin so hässlich, so grässlich hässlich:
Ich bin der Hass!
Hassen, ganz hässlich hassen, ich kann's nicht lassen:
Ich bin der Hass!

Attention, attention.
Unknown flying object approaching the planet. -
Identify unknown flying object.

Codo der dritte, aus der Sternenmitte bin ich der dritte von Links.

Unknown flying object identifies as: "Codo"

Und ich düse, düse, düse, düse im Sauseschritt
und bring' die Liebe mit von meinem Himmelsritt.
Denn die Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, die macht viel Spass,
viel mehr Spass als irgendwas.

We do not need any love on this planet:
Tötet Codo! Vernichtet die Liebe!

Zielansprache: Gamma, Delta, sieben, drei, eins, Überraum.

Codo aus der Ferne der leuchtenden Sterne:
Ich düse so gerne durchs All.

Und ich düse, düse, düse, düse im Sauseschritt
und bring' die Liebe mit von meinem Himmelsritt.
Denn die Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, die macht viel Spass,
viel mehr Spass als irgendwas.

Objekt überwindet den Hassschirm.

Ätzend, ich bin so ätzend, alles zersetzend:
Ich bin der Hass.

Und ich düse, düse, düse, düse im Sauseschritt
und bring' die Liebe mit von meinem Himmelsritt.
Denn die Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, die macht viel Spass,
viel mehr Spass als irgendwas.

Und ich düse, düse, düse, düse im Sauseschritt
und bring' die Liebe mit von meinem Himmelsritt.
Denn die Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, die macht viel Spass,
viel mehr Spass als irgendwas.

Und ich düse, düse, düse, düse im Sauseschritt
und bring' die Liebe mit von meinem Himmelsritt.
Denn die Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, Liebe, die macht viel Spass,
viel mehr Spass als irgendwas.

Dalida - Plus loin que la Terre

CLS wishes you a lovely 2009! May you find yourself a sweetheart if you haven't got one already (and want one badly).

Today's song, Plus loin que la terre is the french adaptation of Stranger from Durango by Richard Podolor (Richie Allen).
The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a girl that dreams of a distant idealized love every night. He is described as being "as beautiful as an angel", despite his "strange ways". Then she wishes for the mysterious man to carry her away with him, like a "dead leaf", far away from the Earth.

Il vient
De plus loin que la terre
Sa vie est un mystère
Mais il sait me plaire

Jamais
Même dans un sourire
Il n'a voulu me dire
Ce que je désire

C'est lui
Qui vient dans tous mes rêves
Se pencher sur mes lèvres
Quand la nuit s'achève

Malgré
Ses manières étranges
Il est beau comme un ange
Quand il me regarde

Dites-moi
S'il faut que j'aime
D'un grand amour
Celui qui vient de loin
De si loin
Que je ne sais plus rien

Mais
Bien plus loin que la terre
Je voudrais qu'il m'emporte
Comme feuille morte

Un jour
Quand il m'aura comprise
Je voudrais qu'il me dise
Des mots qui me grisent
Des mots qui me grisent
Des mots qui me grisent
