Ok, sorry this one is late, I'm a little bit under the weather and had to write this one up from scratch. So this is the end to my run as the LS Meister so I thought I'd finish it off in everybody's favorite decade the 80's. This year's choices are from the ever changing soundscape of "Modern Rock", so that means not a lot of Top 40. But these songs should still sound familiar, it's 1984.
LS #19…………………………………………1984
Good Luck and Have Fun!
1. Strange voices are saying
(What did they say)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
2. Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
3. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
4. I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap
But they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
5. We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are ever helpless
Take us forever,…
6. Something in your eyes is makin such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms, you love me til I just cant see
But then you let me down, when I look around
Baby, you just cant be found
Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay
Theres something I just got to say
7. A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love…is all of heaven away
8. Daylight turns to moonlight - and Im at my best
Praising the way it all works - gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm
The calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever - letting this be my food
9. Oh, can`t you see me standing here
I`ve got my back against the record machine
I ain`t the worst that you`ve seen
Oh, can`t you see what I mean
10. But shoot it in the right direction
Make making it your intention
Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me (hit me)
Hit me with your laser beams

1. Strange voices are saying
(What did they say)
Things I can't understand

#9 Cruel Summer – Bananarama
The Karate Kid came into the bar one night, and was proofed over and over again until we realized who he was. I had a thing for a couple of the girls in Bananarama.
2. Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
#12 Magic – The Cars
I still think Ric Ocasek should sue Collective Soul over their obvious rip-off for their song Hollywood.
3. Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
#3 She-Bop – Cyndi Lauper
I’m always amazed that self gratification songs become big hits.
4. I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap
But they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
#27 Tenderness – General Public
Another big song for the bar, I think I even had a 12’ remix of this one.
5. We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are ever helpless
Take us forever,…
#37 Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly) – Icicle Works
Still unsure of the correct lyrics to this one, but it still sounds good.
6. Something in your eyes is makin such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms, you love me til I just cant see
But then you let me down, when I look around
Baby, you just cant be found
Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay
Theres something I just got to say
#10 Borderline – Madonna
Ah, the first Madonna album, there was a girl or two that I played this one for.
7. A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love…is all of heaven away
#59 Ghost in You – Psychedelic Furs
Another bar song and radio hit, The Furs has a respectable career, never got into Love Spit Love though.
8. Daylight turns to moonlight - and Im at my best
Praising the way it all works - gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm
The calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever - letting this be my food
#29 My Ever Changing Moods – Style Council
Surprised that this made it to #29 and surprised that it didn’t go higher. I don’t think The Jam ever even charted a song.
9. Oh, can`t you see me standing here
I`ve got my back against the record machine
I ain`t the worst that you`ve seen
Oh, can`t you see what I mean
#1 Jump - Van Halen
I still prefer the Aztec Camera version, and that’s the only one I would ever play, much to the anger of Halen fans.
10. But shoot it in the right direction
Make making it your intention
Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me (hit me)
Hit me with your laser beams
#10 Relax – Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Frankie Say Relax, no I never owned one of those t-shirts, but I did see Body Double and I did play this song. A big hit with the ladies back then.
