Istanbul.
I'm sure now.
Istanbul.
I don't buy, i own
I saw a lady falling,
I'm sure now.
Istanbul.
I don't buy, i own.
The sun is shining, [marvin].
[marvin]
Istanbul.
I'm sure now.
Istanbul.
I don't buy, i own.
I saw a lady falling,
I'm sure now.
Istanbul.
I don't buy, i own.
The sun is shining, [marvin].
[marvin].
I saw a lady [falling],
[marvin].

| ddehoyos (Houston/Pearland) | Posted: Apr 07, 2011 - 07:17 listening to this with headphones is like when the wind stops blowing in Chicago. I feel like my head is sling shotting forward when the music stops and restarts. I like it. Woke me up. |
| Gretchen_+_Music | Posted: Apr 07, 2011 - 07:15 Groovy. Not sure if I like it, but groovy just the same... |

| NewHorizons (City of Summer Festivals) | Posted: Jul 06, 2006 - 06:38 Is the band name supposed to be a pun on R2D2? Even the cameras (?) on the cover remind me somewhat of R2D2's eyes  |
