"And it's such a sad old feeling,
All the fields are soft and green,
It's memories that I'm stealing
But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream,
You're innocent when you dream"
Bogie likes Tom Waits. I think at the moment (this changes regularly) my fave is "Jersey Girl".
Sorry for dragging you down from "naïve" to "clever". I promise not to make that mistake again.

That's right - well done Vilji. It's This Mortal Coil from the third album Blood.
I'm tellin' ya. You're gonna love this stuff.
"All this frustration, all this frustration,
Who put down our eyes,
On the butterflies wings?
All this frustration, all this frustration,
Who gave the leopard spots,
And taught the birds to sing?
Born of frustration, born of frustration."
"needles and scissors
and needles
she's gasping
for air
in the wishing well.
Dust to rust,
ashes on gashes.
hand around the killing jar.
hand around
the killing jar"..
"Oh, you've got green eyes, Oh, you've gotblue eyes,Oh, you've got grey eyes.
Oh, you've got green eyes, Oh, you've got blue eyes,Oh, you've got grey eyes.
And I've never met anyone
quite like you before.
No I've never met anyone
quite like you before."
You rock. Give 'em hell. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Nothing like a little Christie Moore on a rainy day.
"True you ride the finest horse
I've ever seen.
Standing sixteen-one or two
With eyes wild and green.
You ride the horse so well
Hands light to the touch.
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.
When you ride into the night
Without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut
One last time.
I turn to face an empty space
Where you used to lie
And look for the spark that lights the night
Through a tear-drop in my eye.
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to."
I'm a big Siouxsie fan from way back... I wore out two tape copies of Peepshow.
This is a great topic, Vilji. Some of my favorite healing songs:
"Brave Companion of the Road" - Nanci Griffith
"Picture in a Frame" - Tom Waits
"Do what you have to do" - Sarah MacLachlan (the only song I really like from that album, go figure!)
Normally I'm able to quote lyrics like crazy, but the old brain does not have a very good data transfer rate today...

I feel bad for this generation of teens who don't have Sisters, Bauhaus and Siouxsie to help them through the day. They have Manson.. He would have been laughed off the stage in the 80's.
"lover come back to me.
you don't have to knock on my door,
no.
lover come back to me.
kick it right down
kick it right down
right down.."
Oooohhhh. The theme of loss/pining is one of the best.
"And I miss you since our place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weight of sex.
It looks like freedom but it feels like death
It's something inbetween I guess;
It's closing time."
