The Shirts - Laugh and walkaway

[jetje567]

great song!!!! far ahead of it's time

[wmw2525]

The Shirts have got to be one of the most under-rated and unrewarded bands of all time. They had so many great songs that beat the hell out of most of the hit singles by much lesser artists. Street Light Shine and the criminally overlooked Inner Sleeve are 2 of my very favourite albums. Check them out if you love quality new wave pop / rock ! ... Wayne

Una notte magica al CBGB's di New York.  Perchè Annie Golden ha smesso di cantare. dal vivo erano una potenza.

[Robin80s]

Just heard it on a Classic Rock radio station.

Still Great.

[harleydd]

@Robin80s what station was that???

[Robin80s]

@harleydd Sorry for the late reaply but it was XLnt internet radio.

[isaluteyou1]

Wajoo, waarom laten hedendaagse artiesten zich niet inspireren op deze muziek?

[rollatorrocker]

Gezien op Brupop een leuk popfestival begin jaren 80 in Bruinisse.

Dit festival is helaas te vroeg gestopt, er waren leuke optredens met o.a. Kevin Coyne, Herman Brood & his Wild Romance en nog veel meer

[SweetieGord]

thanks so much for posting this! one of those great underrated albums of the 70s - but still sounds fresh today! why this hasn't been re-released on CD is a mystery.....ggx

HI Sir Dickie 67 I'm looking for and don't any other way to describe than by quoting some of the lyric 'baby it's you or true' and I thought it was from the shirts. I can remember the singer shouting it out at the top of her voice,any idea?

[54spiritedwill54]

[LunaSeaSane]

This was one of the greatest kicks into the 80s..

[lokismig]

Into the 70's!

[LunaSeaSane]

reelay? I thought 1979...

[Dekiekkepreuten]

[harleydd]

OMG thank you sooooooooooo much for putting this up...I lost my Inner Sleeve and am sad about it daily. God I love this album, I love them, I love her.

[jangenk]

good stuff, also a hit in belgium when blondie & talking heads topped the charts

[lokismig]

Pure american new wave!

[PeterVineyard]

I know there´s an oficial video for this song. I saw it around 1980 here in Portugal. I remember the lead sing being transported to a Hospital and also a huge syringe pointed to her. Please try to find this video.

[goldkitten66]

still one of my favs from new wave

[sirdarklust]

I was never a Shirts fan, really. However, this song is a classic and should have been a big hit.

[jhcfight]

In Holland it was a hit in those days, just like "Laugh and Walk Away"

Btw, SirDicky67, bedankt voor het plaatsen, bracht me even terug naar de middelbare school :)

[jhcfight]

oops, y=ie uiteraard

[jhcfight]

Pffff, I mean "Tell me Your Plans" of course...

[kbidtv02]

Worked in a head shop/record store in 79 in Texas and this was one of our favorites. Even the album cover was fun to see again.

[Glibber16121974]

geweldig nummer!!

[GPlods]

jezus dit nr zoek ik al zo lang als ik besta :)) thanks sir D,

[KARLITOS61]

A great great memory of 1979. Almost 30 years!

I was 18 years old when this track was recording.

Fantastic moment.

Thank you!

[worldmeon]

A favorite tune since (very, very) young child! Huge Thanks!!! LOVE

[supercharel]

I was looking for "tell me your plans" and i thougt look at this song to.I was very amazed because this song i was searching for so long,i am very glad that i finally found it..One of my favorite..

[pedroforte]

I saw these guys in 1979 in Portimao, Portugal, the day after I suffered a terrible car crash from where me, my brother and my best friend got out without a scratch. The concert was great and a celebration to our good luck. They are both gone now; this one sure brings back those happy days. Thanks

[Ronquinhos]

ohh fuck!!! almost 1 year searching this song!! thanks from portugal!

[matthijskooyman]

I've been looking for so long! This is the best!!
