And now a few words from the romantics....
Barbed Wire Love
Stiff Little Fingers
I met you in No Man's Land
Across the wire we were holding hands
Hearts a-bubble in the rubble
It was love at bomb site
(Chorus)
All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
When I fell it was awful nice
Caught when not suspect vice
The night was rife with wasteland life
You set my arm alight
(Chorus)
Blasted by your booby traps
I felt the blow in both knee caps
Your eyes did shine
Your lips were fine
And the device in your pants was out of sight
(Chorus)
Love Comes in Spurts
R. Hell, Voidoids
I was a child
who wanted love that was wild
though tight as slow motion
but crazed with devotion
insane with devotion
a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
and it wasn't no laugh
Love comes in spurts (oh no it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, cuz)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)
I just can't get wise
to those tragical lies
though I now know the facts
they still cut like an axe
cuz love comes in spurts
in dangerous flirts
and it murders your heart
they didn't tell you that part
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Stiff Little Fingers were wonderful. I had their live LP, "Hanx" whcih I bought in the UK at the time. Incendiary, they were!
BPB, I play the flute, self taught as an adult with all the limitations that implies. When I spent 2 weeks in hospital several years ago (long story) I ended up playing for a couple of hours one afternoon with about 20 patients and families listening. (Actually got offered the chance to earn some money playing for the psyche patients-soothing tones and all that). But I've never had more enjoyment out of playing than that one afternoon, simply because people were listening and enjoying it. I know exactly what you mean. I hope it all goes well for you.
Barbed wire love
Snags my jeans...
Now that's poetry! Thanks for helping me remember, cav. That cut is on the live album I had. Jake Burns nearly made me cry when he sang it...
Barbed Wire Love is a great tune. :cool:
