The Police - Message in a bottle.

A year has passed since i broke my nose!

The police with Sue Lawley is probably a classic too

For years and years, I took Whitney Houston to be singing "Climb Every Woman". I took it as a personal challenge.

[Black Bull Nova]

I never knew the lyrics of Boogie Wonderland till yesterday, despite 1000 listens, surprised me

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says"Baby, uh, uh, it don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care
You dance and shake the hat

[Zeppelin]

My love has got no money, he's got his thumb police
My love has got no power, he's got his thumb police
My love has got no fame, he's got his thumb police
My love has got no money, he's got his thumb police

I always thought it was
"I can't see much down for me
I think I'll run away to sea"

But it's

At the end of Bombs Over Baghdad by Outkast, I think on the music video only - a gospel choir sings;

"Power Music, Electric Revival"

"God put music in every bible"

Go check it, I'm still 99% it should be what I thought.

Paul Simon - Graceland

'As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead'

I remember listening to Dr. Feelgood as a kid and singing "Milk and Al Capone" didnt realise till years later it was alcohol.
