Let us praise P.M. Dawn's 'Of the heart, of the soul and of the Cross'

http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=pm_dawn

I like that one at the end where he's going "I like to say 'what's up' to God!" :-)

"Spin the sundial to expectations!
Thirty years ago, I saw you yesterday!
I see you're looking at the picture now!
I know you're looking at the picture now!"

P.S. No one has ever done a medley as ambitiously psycho as their marriage of "1999," "Once in a Lifetime," "Coconut," "Mama Told Me," and "Flying" on the Jesus Wept album.

Kiki & Herb to thread!

my fave OTH song, now and forever: "Even After I Die."

And that Kiki&Herb medley is one of my favorite songs of the year. Makes me kick myself for never seeing them.

.. i too just found a perfect copy of the bliss album for a quid on cd.

i used to have serious avoidance of this at the time as it was all far too light and breezy for my youthful raging hormones

.. but in 2005 this is indeed very pleasant stuff to work along to.

For a number of reasons, that album is in my 'never ever part with' section.

Global rating: 7.8

In this week's season finale look forward to performances by Juice Newton, Animotion, Missing Persons, PM Dawn, and Shannon. ONE OF THE BETTER LINEUPS & PM DAWN WON. WHEN LOOKING THIS UP I SAW YOUR BRITISH LINEUPS AND DIDN'T RECOGNIZE A LOT OF THE ACTS. A FEW ARTISTS WERE IN BOTH VERSIONS. E.G., TIFFANY SMOKES LIMAHL ON HIS HOME TURF BUT COULDN'T BEST ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IN AMERICA. THEY EVEN BEAT LOVERBOY.

Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Maybe why? is the question thats on you mind
But reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine.
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Please dont ask me cause I dont know why,
But reality used to be a friend of mine.

I used to be friends with reality
She used to be a pal real close to me
But she tried to hide from me what was in store
Tried to house me but a house has doors
I was insane and the picture was crazy
So the relevance here seems to be a bit hazy
But I tried to explain this in the simplest terms
But she let the cross burn and it was my turn to say,
The roses are red, and violets are blue,j
And things are gonna stay that way, too
And I was the nut to believe all of this
I figured life would just hand me bliss
Now I have to worry about certain doom
Or will I be here tomorrow afternoon
Now ask me about the future.

( chorus )

I remember sandy gave me a hand.
Now Im known as the maniac man
Looking and searching for a shred of proof
Knowing any time this world could go poof
Now what might happen without me knowin
Thats why I find myself always tip-tip toeing
She tried to let prophecy sneak yp on me
But I woke up, I told her yo step off me
What you wnat me to do?
You want me to sweat blood,
And hang up on your strings like a marionette does?
Go to the pm on the dock of the bay, sit
You need a clue. go back to the basics.
She needs to learn her abcs
Her and I sail on different seas.
She sees different from what I sees.
{do you believe? hell no}

I lost touch with reality.
I keep it as far as I can from prince be
I just didnt run with the way she flowed,
To where I just said yo, I gots to go
But my heart wasnt ill or mad at her
I just chose to laugh at her
And disragard everything she tells me
Believe in her and shes happy and healthy
What is real, a posotive plane
Reality and life are no the same
As to her equivalent to what is real
She doesnt appeal to how I feel
Maybe I should try transchanneling her
{prince, youre taking this trip to far}
Ok, fine, nevermind
But reality used to be a friend of min

Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone

PM Dawn used to be a friend of mine.

On a Clear Day was my jam from this album.

Plastic was the first video of theirs I saw, and heard it before the Bliss Album dropped.

Fat Joe repped for this on Vh1.

FUCK THE HATERS!

One of the better hip-hop acts out there, because they could sing as well as rap, and they often did.

Well, I like them, despite you trying to spoil it for me.
