    The Mary chain ,The Smiths, The Bunnymen, my three fave bands of the 80's (and probably all time)
    was lucky enough to see all three live back then, All great live even if the mary chain was chaotic. Years later listening to them got me into Mazzy star
    ( another cool band). 30+ years later and still listening.

    Back in the 80s my best friend and I worked all over the country floor laying and we used to have this song cued up on the cassette to play as loud as we could as we swerved away from work on the Friday afternoons...it was always the first song we played!
    Was the best song ever to play, loud as hell as we were heading home for a weekend of drinking and shagging.
    Just listening to it again brings it all back!
    Brilliant song!

    sun grows cold
    sky gets black
    and you broke me up
    and now you won't come back
    shaking hand, life is dead
    and a broken heart
    and a screaming head
    under the april sky

    They 've always had a HUGE fanbase in Greece, from the very beginning! That fanbase is ever growing, to the day! They also played live numerous times here! It 's music we Greeks can relate to, absolutely! Same with the harder "Psychocandy" type stuff! Greetings and a lot of love from Greece, may God bless All!

JOINED NAVY AND STARTED JUMPIN OUT OF AIRPLANES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT INTO AN OCEAN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND BLOWING SHIT UP. FUCKIN' 80's!!! So much fun and great music. My kids play all this music.

    TOP ! as modern as the current weather we are facing, and I here in April listening::
    Hey honey what you trying to say
    As I stand here
    Don't you walk away
    And the world comes tumbling down
    Hand in hand in a violent life
    Making love on the edge of a knife
    And the world comes tumbling down
    And it's hard
    For me to say
    And it's hard
    For me to stay
    I'm going down
    To be by myself
    I'm going back
    For the good of my health
    And there's one thing
    I couldnt do
    Sacrifice myself to you
    Sacrifice
    Baby baby I just can't see
    Just what you mean to me
    I take my aim and I fake my words
    I'm just your long time curse
    And if you walk away
    I can't take it
    But that's the way that you are
    And that's the things that you say
    But now you've gone too far
    With all the things you say
    Get back to where you come from
    I can't help it
    Under the april skies
    Under the april sun
    Sun grows cold
    Sky gets black
    And you broke me up
    And now you won't come back
    Shaking hand, life is dead
    And a broken heart
    And a screaming head
    Under the april sky
