A Year of Music

Stuck in my head this morning: Wall of Voodoo’s “Can’t Make Love”, which more or less speaks for itself:

Well, I can’t make love
To the girls in this city
‘Cause the girls
Say I abuse them
And I won’t go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody’s lonely, that’s true
Maybe it’s psychology
I don’t know, I gotta move someplace

I can’t make love
To the girls in this city
‘Cause the girls
Say I abuse them
And I won’t go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody’s lonely, that’s true

Maybe it’s psychology
I don’t know, I gotta move someplace
Where the girls are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And it seems so easy
But I can’t say the words that are on my mind

I’m a nice guy but I don’t love you,
I just wanna sleep with you.
I’m a nice guy but I don’t love you,
I just wanna sleep with you.

Well, I can’t make love
To the boys in this city
‘Cause the boys
Say I abuse them
And I won’t go out
With boys because
Boys will fall in love with you
Everybody’s lonely, that’s true

Maybe it’s psychology
I don’t know, I gotta move someplace
Where the boys are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And everybody’s so easy
But I can’t say the words that are on my mind

chorus

I’m a nice guy… (repeats until fade)

Ladies and gentlemen, The Telefones (from Hyped 2 Death #3):

Don’t come around knocking at my door,
I don’t love you any more,
you won’t go bowling!

And don’t you call me on the telephone,
you know I won’t be home,
I probably will be bowling.

bowling, I like bowling (4x)

You ain’t nothing but an alley cat,
and worse than that:
you won’t go bowling!

You ain’t nothing but a gutter ball,
I think that says it all,
why won’t you go bowling?

bowling, I like bowling (4x)

(guitar solo)

YES!

(saxophone solo)

You ain’t nothing but an alley cat,
and worse than that:
you won’t go bowling!

You ain’t nothing but a gutter ball,
I think that says it all,
why won’t you go bowling?

bowling, I like bowling (4x)

YES!
