![]() Midnite Vultures (1999) [ larger cover art ] |
Searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend?
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane
You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shores
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Feb 04, 2013 - 19:47 Sneaky segue, Rod-less Faces to Rod-less Beck, so to speak. |
| Sweet_Virginia | Posted: Jan 24, 2013 - 06:52 We seem to expect that just because someone has a specific talent for music or some other art, or looks good in front of a camera, that that have some great credibility, depth or insight. I often wonder why? they are just people. I am great at trivial pursuit, what does that buy me? |

I agree, about the listening, I always say the same. Still, there is a misguided tendency to defend the aspect to which Stingray comments on. People do not know how diabolical the organization in question is. If we let every criminal organization hide behind the shield of religion, then the next thing you know the mafia will simply call itself a religion, Nazis will say they are a religion, and, worst of all, Fred Flinstone and the socialists will say that they are a religion. Holy F'ing shite!!! |

| mike_chouinard | Posted: Jul 06, 2011 - 08:35 I like this song, but the broken chords in the background sound very close to an old Velvet Underground song. Can't remember which one though. |

A friend once tried to convince that "Law and Order" was better than "Homicide." (Really, Bob. Not your finest hour). After I stopped laughing, I took him to school. Thanks for pointing out the Youtube clip. It pointed up one thing I liked about the series—the relatively freer flow of dialogue and action than you'd normally find in a TV cop series. Things were looser, more natural, less scripted. Case in point: during one episode, several detectives and a bunch of cops are examining a dead body in a fairly empty parking lot, around dusk I think. As the detectives are bantering and sharing a joke about their jobs, a kid in his teens runs into the middle of the group and collides with one of the detectives. They grab the kid and make a joke—and then another group of cops grab the teenager and arrest him for a purse snatching that took place a few blocks away. On TV, it wasn't a major scene but it looked real—almost superfluous, but real. Because it was. The actors playing the bantering detectives were shooting a scene in the parking lot when a real-life purse snatcher ran onto the set and into the group of actors. The cops who took the kid away were also real, as was the bust. The actors stayed in character, the cameras kept rolling, and the director left the scene in, untouched. |
| jessfine (exiled to Wisconsin) | Posted: Dec 13, 2010 - 19:26 Beck's done some solid work, but this one's maybe gone around the block a few too many times. |
