![]() Baby 81 (2007) [ larger cover art ] |
Help yourself, don't say a thing
Your love won't show in anything at all
If all you do is talk
Sadly I remain in need
Of all the things you say but leave in speak
All you do is talk
Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
You're lucky, words don't bleed
You time the end of all we see
You say we're on our way and all will be
Alone in everything
You say it's all we'll ever need
You've found an easy way but still you weep
Alone in everything
Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
You're lucky, words don't bleed
Help yourself, don't say a thing
What love you show won't mean a thing at all
If all you do is talk
Sadly we remain to see
What brings an end is also what we need
All you do is talk
Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
You're lucky, words don't bleed

| LizK (Houston, Texas) | Posted: Apr 09, 2013 - 13:34 By popular demand, my April take on BRMC. More BRMC! (And why aren't the icons working, how does one add an annoying, attention- seeking waggling banana if the icon screen permanently freezes?) |

PS Heard that "Forest" is making it back to the PL. Football is certainly something you know more about, Fred-brat. Leave music for the knowledgable big boys (like me). |

I doubt seriously if B.R.M.C. are in need of any inspiration from Brandon Flowers et al. . . You can doubt all you want, but this song bears more than a passing resemblance to All These Things That I've Done. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 10:09 LOVE the tune. Dreamy downbeat inspiring intrigue. Convertible high speed highway perfection. |

Learn something new every day. Yeah, but. "81" is code in the biker world for "Hells Angels" (they have a patch for it too). Wiki says "Red and white are also used to display the number 81 on many patches, as in "Support 81, Route 81". The 8 and 1 stand for the respective positions in the alphabet of H and A. These are used by friends and supporters of the club, as only full members can wear any Hells Angels imagery." This fits into the mileau of them being a rebellious motorcycle club, but a "baby" one, as in being aspirational. Interesting that they also have a "1%" patch, meaning 99% are law-abiding, but 1% are not." Another view of the 1% - 99% dichotomy. It would be interesting to hear what actual members of BRMC say about the Baby 81 meaning. I guess I could google it. |
| tutakea | Posted: Dec 31, 2011 - 06:58 beautiful song! especially the beginning: the art of slowing down in near perfection... reminds me of some very old Vanilla Fudge |
| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Dec 14, 2011 - 12:15 Like it, despite the singer's apparent case of lockjaw. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Dec 14, 2011 - 12:08 Great sound. Great sound. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Nov 29, 2011 - 13:48 Going to iTunes in a jiffy to load this one down. Download this one up. Or something. Another cut of upbeat music and downbeat lyrics. BRMC seems to specialize in that. |

| packbj1 | Posted: May 16, 2011 - 09:02 BRMC is really one of the most consistent yet underrated bands out there. All of their albums are amazing, especially Howl. |
