    Proof that you don't need to have a voice like Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury to create an unbelievably great vocal melody. Every syllable is so perfectly entwined with the music. My favorite B&S song.

    In high school, we had a performance we would do every year that was constructed of a lot of different scenes and TV shows that the students wanted to do themselves. The intro do this song was played everytime one scene Andes and a new one started, I can still hear the distant “SSSSHHHHHHH” before the song starts 😂

    Look at the kid from school
    He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
    He's changing fashion, the way he dress
    The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody
    For a kid with the will to funk
    He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk
    She's getting off the plane
    She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
    The kids fighting up the lane
    Shop lifting, just drifting
    Like The Switchblade And The Cross
    But if there's trouble she's got the moves
    She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu
    I left my washing in the launderette
    You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
    That when I see my washing
    The black will be grey and the white will be grey
    But the blues are still blue
    I'm crying out for my mum
    If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble
    With the boss of the company
    I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on
    The dock in the lazy sun
    Will never quite relegate me to a bum
    I left my lady in the launderette
    You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
    That when I see my lady
    The black will be white and the white will be black
    But The Blues Are Still Blue
    Baby, I love your face
    I've been creeping round this town because…
    Well, creeping's just my way
    But with a little wink I'll be there
    I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
    I know your young, but you're out of touch
    You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed
    I left my homework in the launderette
    I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
    I hid behind the fence
    Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
    He's not making much sense
    I left my lady in the launderette
    You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
    That when I see my lady
    The black will be white and the white will be black
    But the blues are still blue…
    I left my lady in the launderette
    You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
    That when I see my lady
    The black will be white and the white will be black
    But the blues are still blue…

    Just got the CD from Ebay today in the post. Yes, I can listen to songs here on UA-cam, but I wanted a clean set without lossy.
    So the question is why get a CD in this day and age. Well, this albun is special. For me to get a CD off Ebay is very rare. I know good craft and The Life Pursuit has it. It's nostalgic too. The songs could come out of mid-1970s am radio. They of course would be major hits had they been released then. A pinnacle of pop-music art. You don't get albums like this very often.
