Staring at you
Staring at me
It's a slow dance
But I believe
Mona Lisa
Who do you see
It's your one chance
Do you believe
Let's get naked
Under the knife
We are dreamers
Larger than life
Staring at you
Staring at me
It's a slow dance
But I believe
Lock up all the doors
Better seal your heart up tight
Block out all the noise
But you can't escape the light
Staring at you
Staring at me
'Cos your love creeps slow
Like a thief in the night
You take my breath
And you hold it inside
'Cos your love creeps slow
Like a thief in the night
You take my breath
And you hold it inside
There's an ocean
Inside of your head
With all the words
You wish you had said
We are broken
We have no pain
You're the needle
I am the vein
Lock up all the doors
Better seal your heart up tight
Block out all the noise
But you can't escape the light
Staring at you
Staring at me
'Cos your love creeps slow
Like a thief in the night
You take my breath
And you hold it inside
'Cos your love creeps slow
Like a thief in the night
You take my breath
And you hold it inside
Staring at me
It's a slow dance
But I believe
Mona Lisa
Who do you see
It's your one chance
Do you believe
Let's get naked
Under the knife
We are dreamers
Larger than life
Staring at you
Staring at me
It's a slow dance
But I believe
Lock up all the doors
Better seal your heart up tight

The Main Mix
It's a long way down
Of what? And so what? After millennia of human music-making, all music is derivative. As adjectives go, it's the bleedin' obvious; as insults go, it's pretty weak. It would be better to just write "it sucks" rather than trying to ponce up subjective dislike of a song with an intellectual word.
I sincerely could not sgree more. There are some fascinating, illuminating and hilarious critiques that appear in the comments section and I enjoy reading them even if I hold a completely different view. But I do dislike derogatory remarks where someone has been dismissive in a lazy manner. That just smacks of being more interested in having other people cultivate an opinion about the writer of the comment than being anything to do with the music itsself.
Come on some of you, if you're going to diss a song at least put a little effort and sincerity into it.

But it does highlight a flaw with RP - and that, dear listener, is you lot!! You pick the best tracks off your favourite albums and send them in for B&R to choose from.
The downside is that the rest of the album doesn't always stack up to the tracks heard on here.
Small price to pay for a shed-load of terrific songs though
Thanks for all the amazing music to be found on RP
This song may have some '80s sounds to it, but it doesn't really sound like Human League to me.
Who needs corporate music? BillG's got us covered.
...and some Stevie Nicks for good measure!
Maybe it is a lace curtain? She just jumped up and grabbed it?
She saw it in the window and just had to have it.
I suppose it depends on one's perspective, but your opening assertion is not particularly accurate. Bands or artists with debut albums in 1967 included Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, The Doors, David Bowie, Traffic, The Grateful Dead, Sly & The Family Stone, Vanilla Fudge, among others who did not sound like that combination you mentioned. The Pilgrim's Progress reference is cool; I'm surprised there has yet to be a band called "Slough Of Despond".
Hmmm. I would say it’s often the exact opposite. There are a number of songs in rotation on RP from bands that I like, for which I find myself saying “ I wish they played (some other song by the same band) instead”. The Cure gets played a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything off Seventeen Seconds. Shriekback’s All Lined Up and The Underwaterboys are played occasionally, but I’d rather hear Gunning for the Buddha. Maybe it’s just me and my… unique (?) tastes in music.
Regardless, LLRP.
[edit] Oh, and I quite like this song so I hope the rest of her stuff is good, too!
