Nobody told these fucktards that even in 1985 those clothes were ass.

"Instinction" sounds like someone completely failing to reproduce the funk stylings of Wa Wa Nee

I still see so many young women on campus who tuck pants into their boots.

"Highly Strung" is surprisingly okay compared to the other songs I've heard so far, which means it's only slightly embarrassing sounding

oh wait I just got to the chorus, never mind

isn't it "Highly Strung" that starts with the diplomat/laundromat couplet? In which case i refute yr initial statement.

I feel like you could subtitle half of these songs "(Why Would You Do That To A Perfectly Good Saxophone?)"

A bit of the outback in those pants and blousy shirt (ealier up there).

Note to blonde: Flashdance look does not work for men.

I like to think they are now bought and kept, living in Monaco for command concerts when the sultan requests their presence.

Funnily enough, I remember my mother telling a story about meeting Rachman(notorious slum landlord)'s wife in the laundromat, she was full of sob story about how tough her life was now, scrimping etc now her husb was in jail etc. Then the Rolls Royce came and picked her and her laundry up...

"Monochrome With Mullets" sounds like a lost Underworld single

I do not even remember that dude in between Timberlake and Fat One.

"I'll Fly For You" is pretty good, what the hell

My takeaway so far is that SB should only ever do understated-yet-bombastic ballads

... you don't remember the other lead singer?

Telex or tell me, but it’s always second-hand,
I’m incognito but no rendezvous’s been planned…
Dictate or relay, I could send it to your home,
“Return to Sender” – I could sing it down the phone!

omigod:

Cheap bed,in the red
sleep the words out of your head
cold floor,nice and raw
eat the meat that's on the floor
high tide, some disguise
loving makes the cream taste nice
new shore,final score
fresh demand,I'm wanting more
this might not last too long
so always take it
this might not last too long
so always take it
