Walking down the street
Kicking cans
Looking at the billboards
Oh so rad
Summing up the people
Checking out the race
Doing what I'm doing
Feeling out of place
Walking, walking
In the rain
Feeling like a woman
Looking like a man
Sounding like a no-no
Mating when I can
Whistling in the darkness
Shining in the night
Coming to conclusions
Right is night is tight
Walking, walking
In the rain
Come in all you jesters
Enter all you fools
Sit down no-no's
Vulgar fools
Trip the light fantastic
Dance the swivel hips
Coming to conclusions
Button up your lips
Walking, walking
In the rain
Kicking cans
Looking at the billboards
Oh so rad
Summing up the people
Checking out the race
Doing what I'm doing
Feeling out of place
Walking, walking
In the rain
Feeling like a woman
Looking like a man
Sounding like a no-no
Mating when I can
Whistling in the darkness
Shining in the night
Coming to conclusions
Right is night is tight
Walking, walking
In the rain
Come in all you jesters
Enter all you fools
Sit down no-no's
Vulgar fools
Trip the light fantastic
Dance the swivel hips
Coming to conclusions
Button up your lips
Walking, walking
In the rain

How true mj. Just fabulous! Still as great an album as it was in the day, IMO. Have to love that bass line! |

This blows and you know it. I keed! Miss you.  Oh, it does indeed! And yet, there's some amount of pleasure there. |
| madra | Posted: Nov 13, 2007 - 13:50 My favorite Grace Jones story involves my high school coach giving the team a pep talk. Coach: Madra, who's your hero? Me: Grace Jones, in "Conan the Destroyer", because she kicked Wilt Chamberlain's ass, barefoot, using nothing but a stick! Coach: Uh... Brian, who's your hero? Brian: You are! Coach: That's better. |

| RichardPrins (z³) | Posted: Sep 02, 2004 - 22:00 Always loved this (mostly covers) album... Nightclubbing & Libertango are cool too Funny how the latter part of the song now resembles Air :) |
| brighthue (MetroWest, MA) | Posted: Sep 02, 2002 - 01:38 "Feeling like a woman, looking like a man..." Seeing Grace Jones "perform" is even funnier than hearing her. Good music for watching people in trendy places. I wonder if Sly Dunbar and/or Robbie Shakespeare are embarassed to hear this today. Well, a gig's a gig. Makes me wish there was a rating for "quirky novelty worth hearing once a year and when I least expect it." |

| mrrmaid1 (Baltimore, MD) | Posted: Aug 02, 2002 - 09:32 this is a change of pace. i like it. |
| Platypus (Baltimore, MD) | Posted: Jul 12, 2002 - 22:52 nevermind. feel free to erase this comment if it pleases you... |
| steves (Titusville, FL) | Posted: Jun 12, 2002 - 07:30 Like the "Flash in the Pan" version better. This is pretty good. |
| KevDog (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: May 02, 2002 - 09:55 Grace Jones always makes me laugh, intentionally or not. I guess that's a plus. |
| gillespp (Portland, OR) | Posted: May 02, 2002 - 09:54 great to hear this again! always a favorite. |
