THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

From the same song:

I saw two shooting stars last night. I wished on them, they were only satellites.

It’s wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish, I wish you’d care.

Tune(s)!
Original verse from both versions - classic stuff - I love em both.



"Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about, you know it feels good, just to be alive..."

"Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be,
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history..."

Right Here Right Now - Jesus Jones

LS: A rocky start, that's all it is.

Several stanzas from one song:

"Oh, the sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery
And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel
Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell
So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are
While the K.K.K. convention are all stranded in the bar"

"Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke"

"The Japanese got Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians
They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers
That they hardly mention us"

Tokyo Storm Warning - Elvis Costello

(Frankly, this thread could just consist of EC lyrics).

You let that little friend of mine, take off your party dress.

I went out with a girl called Alison just because she had the same name as one of my favourite songs

I'll bet you took all you could take.

Ali would be proud of you, Keyser.

Well thanks a lot you two!

"She was sharing her spin dry with a guy in a tie-dye
When she saw my reflection in the chrome
I knew that she'd seen me 'cause she dropped her bikini
The one that I got her in Rome"

"When she finished her laundry she was all in a quandary
And made for the street like a hare
Her escape was so urgent she forgot her detergent
And dropped all her clean underwear"
