What's the best album of the 80s? If God asked me that question on some celestial version of Pop Quiz, I'd have to say "God, it's obviously 'Infected' by the British act The The". Matt Johnson's lyrics presaged my ENTIRE life, and now I can only read them with a mixture of tears, regret, rueful smiles and strong booze. What a great guy!!! THAT's what pop music should be. "Out Of The Blue (Into The Fire)" I'm a man without a soul...Honey, yeah I lost it while parading it, in a town full of thieves Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know. But god knows, I didn't wanna be alone I thought if I acted like someone else I'd feel more comfortable with myself So I showered down, left my little room Jumped in my car for protection from hostility Well it ain't easy to be bold in an unknown city Yeah I was feeling strong mouthed and weak willed When I ran into the cure for my ills Don't tell me what your name is I want your body, not your mind, I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes, I just kept wondering, How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs? There'll be no sleep 'til the morning There'll be no lullabyes 'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight Well my adrenalin, was curdling like cream, as I was being led by the hand. Through the sound of sirens And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band, Through the stench of disinfectant-- that "INFECTED" my head, through the darkness of a corridor and into a stranger's bed. Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey But I couldn't suppress my own, I had to pull myself outta this nosedive by proving something to myself. She was lying on her back with her lips parted. Squealing like a stuffed pig I was going through the motions faking the emotions, and wriggling around like a lizard in a tin. Trying so hard to cleanse myself, I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so |

to post in this thread I randomly pick the word.... hmmmm.... blue! right. hey, I have a blue shirt I sometimes wear. it's not my favourite shirt but it IS blue. |
||||||||
|

|
Thanks, umm, Combo! UM BONGO! |

I had a bongo once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I didn't. that would've been ridiculous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who would have a bongo, they come in at least pairs, surely? Surely? |

hard to please myself, I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. I was trying so hard to be myself I was turning into somebody else. Come my love--with your desire-- Out of the blue...and into the fire so... yeah. pretty good lyrics. from The The i only have NakedSelf, but it's been a while since i listened to it. |

Yeah, that's great Uzim, only that's his WORST album, by a long chalk. If you think it's even half decent please, please seek out "Soul Mining", "Infected", "Burning Blue Soul" or "Dusk". But if you don't like any of them, don't let me know, 'cause I'll just be upset. |

Actually I wanted to reply to Doggy's post by : "Yeah I like this album very much, but I prefer Mind Bomb though ! Very nice music and lyrics." And my favorite shirt isn't blue, that's right. You've been Beyond the Combo with your thread, qrter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok : ) good then... i'll check another one out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Mind Bomb, but...hmmm, don't know. "Kingdom of Rain" is a standout track. Fuck me.. I can't remember any others, The Beat(en) Generation... probably makes more sense now, too much so, Armaggeddon Days are here (Again), good song, ... oh I'll have to google, and I had this on vinyl... and the singles, ... one in a box set, yeah.. (memory goes fuzzy).. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hence the ridiculousnessessness. and I am beyond the combo. actually having had sex that seems pretty obvious, but it's still nice to hear. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
No. You had A bongo, then wanted to cover it up, ONE BONGO. USELESS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES YES it's ALL TRUE I had ONE RIDICULOUS, USELESS SHIT of a bongo!!!!!!!! I don't KNOW why I couldn't just come out and SAY it!! I feel so.. STUPID, so DAMN SILLY!! |

That isn't as bad as me saying "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk was an instrumental version of Coldplay's "Talk" the other day, because, to be fair, I don't own any Kraftwerk records apart from Tour de France 2003 ... SEE HOW MAGNANIMOUS I AM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what uzim did to The The's records, you pretty much have done to Kraftwerk's records by buying the shittiest thing they probably have made! on the other hand, you used the word 'magnanimous', which in itself is quite a feat and for that alone you should be applauded. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If the search worked on this shit heap I bet "magnanimous" would only come up twice, and in this arse-forsaken thread, God fuck it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard this once about 15 years ago and i cant remember it. do you think i will like it? and yes TDF2003 is quite poor |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always thought they should italicise one of the 'thes'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that one. |

|

the results in short: you are in the company of the following people who have used the word "magnanimous" before on this messageboard - xceque, marlowe and.. Xeron. also good to note that someone called MrTenzin says it's one of his favourite words, next to such classics as "jah", "gip" and "shiznackle". |

I've Been Waiting for Tomorrow (All of My Life) FTW, I shake my ass to that. Soul Mining is my favorite and that's my favorite The track. Is this wise or should I change my ways? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No that's fine, old boy. "Soul Mining" is more classic I guess, whereas "Infected" is more... of its time. But, still, both have great atmos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think i've ever heard "the the" now i'm supposed to get this album, aren't i? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

he tricked me into it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You ungrateful shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely up there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually soul mining is better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a bit torn now... "This is the day", "uncertain Smile"... "Soul mining" the title track... well the version that comes with the extra tracks like "Perfect" and "Waitin for the upturn" definitely "pwns"... I suppose. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

just pulling your leg, mister. give me a chance i havent listened to it yet |
||||||||
|

'giant' is great |
||||||||
|
|

Sorry, I was joking. Take your time, filling in your pools coupons and cutting out the "2p off shampoo" tokens out of TV Quick magazine, or whatever it is you do all day, and I'll just sit looking out the window wondering where it all went wrong. Whilst listening to The The. |

Wow, with a pull out poster of Daley Tompson, wicked. |

Hoorah! |
