I'm guessing this one came out in the late '80's, and the vocalist is reminiscent of Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen. Any help would be great!

It also sounds a bit like Siouxse and the Banshees but I can't be sure.

Danielle Dax?

I can't hear the song too well (or many of the past several downloads, either) because I get weird garbled sounds in the file. I don't know if it's my media player (Winamp) or the file itself. Anyone else having this problem?


From ReCon242, 3/26/2005 6:09:32 PM:

I don't have that problem, they are OK.

Another vocalist that comes to mind here is Toyah (Willcox)


From James, 4/1/2005 8:44:30 AM:

I just figured out why my downloads sound bad. When I use Firefox, the samples have garbage sounds in them. If I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem.

I know this song, but it's not anyone mentioned yet.
It'll come to me.


From Jim Ballard, 4/2/2005 5:09:59 PM:

Yes, there's hope! I haven't found anyone yet who knows the artist or name of this song.

Lyrics

Who gives a ???? about a little happiness
You've got your drug wars and of course you're part of me
You got your money, goodbye Somebody ought to spank you
Now your stinking affairs leave a certain ????
..and your ????, your plans and your brotherhoods
Who can forget about your local ???? ????
You got your mother, your daughter ???? ???? makes you oppose
Off a ball of confusion, seems like nobody knows

(chourus, hard to make out)
She's going to break it, like God made the flu (not sure there!)
She's such a wonderful thing she's got voodoo

I confess that I'm an optimist
that's why when I choose nothing has to miss
I love everything, anything, all this mess
in a world where everything takes the test
You can bleed my pockets if you want to (USE!)
You can scrape (?) my pockets if you want to (HATE!)
You can choose a path if you want to (RIGHT!)
You can use your head if you want to (HOOH!) (?)

Take me to your leader
Let's not mess around
Make yourself a

..rest of the lyrics that were cut off...

Take me to your leader
Let's not mess around
Make yourself a pizza (?)
We're from out of town

I chew my lips to pieces over this
every night they sit like zombies watch the news
A ???? ???? ???? ???? has gone all wrong
Now her needle ???? ???? ???? so you know she's got the flu
A major affair seems to be forgiven
But making her kill is just not her living
Money and babes are a pride of living broom
Now you want to know who pulled and pulled and pulled

Does anyone have the lyrics for this song, by chance?


From RubyJade, 6/5/2005 2:02:02 AM:

Sorry, does anyone have the full lyrics to this song? :-)


From Shoe Gal, 6/8/2005 8:39:54 PM:

Could this be Les Rita Mitsuko?

It's already been solved, it's Tom Tom Club.
