![]() Beat Club (1992) [ larger cover art ] |
Must've been blind
Guess that's what you'll find
If fate taps on your door
Love rolled in
You shook my world around
Then watched me from the wings
I should have known
But my heart had flown
Now look what trouble brings
A train pulls out of a station
Then rattles on down the line
When I held you close
What I feared the most
Was some fool notion of mine
The sun has gone
This winter's much too long
It steals my breath away
Everythin' dies
Like the promise in your eyes
And waves breakin' on the bay
The moon staggers into the night sky
But it ain't up there to shine
When I held you close
What I feared the most
Was some fool notion of mine

| amboman52 (Australia) | Posted: Mar 04, 2011 - 18:05 Great Aussie band, led by Joe Camilleri, another of his bands called JoJo Zep and the Falcons were pretty cool too |

| maht | Posted: Aug 11, 2010 - 13:08 I hate when I'm so late hearing a good band. |

| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Apr 21, 2010 - 17:00 Knopfler + Isaac + a little Bryan Ferry warble? |

| Dog_Ear | Posted: Jul 29, 2008 - 10:46 I always enjoy the RP selections from this CD (but don't seem to like the newer CD's as much) But it can't be found! Can't download. Can't find the CD. I guess that makes it an RP exclusive! |
| mishsyd | Posted: Jun 27, 2008 - 23:54 I lay in bed and counted the songs after this one so that when I finally got up I could go to the RP playlist and check who it was...The Black Sorrows!!! I was so stoked as I`m an Aussie (as they are ) in Switzerland and didn`t expect it. Having big problems trying to buy this online though...no luck on iTunes or Amazon. |
| iggam (Chicago) | Posted: Jun 12, 2008 - 07:34 Sounded a bit like Chuck Prophet singing. |

All I hear is tedious crooning and a repetitive, over-used chord progression. One hears what one wants to....just as they see what they want to.... Open your ears. It's no grammy winner, but it definitely has merit, IMHO. |

| Dog_Ear | Posted: May 27, 2008 - 11:17 Can't find this'n Sure would be nice if this was actually available -not really in love with their later stuff. Once again RP plucks an obscure gem from the ether |
