[LuxX63]

Chi si rivede i MOCHROME SET!

[0ldfinger]

I loved them, every one of their songs sounded as though you had already heard it....jolly clever fellows. Saw them live once though in Glasgow and they sucked. Can't have everything!

[ginoricca]

As I already said : Monochrome Set was at this time very eligeable , I stlll remember their concert near Hermann Platze, in Berlin 1982 and which was excellent! Miss them.

[Talulah1997]

continued:

"....

Thud, thud, goes the rubber truncheon on the Indian peon�s heel

Buzz, buzz, go the brass electrodes as the flesh begins to peel

Rattle, rattle, goes the bullet round and round the roulette wheel

Here we come, the jet set junta 2x

[Talulah1997]

here they are:

Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in �l presidente�s swill

Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will

Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero bills

Here we come, the jet set junta 2x

Broom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo

Rat-a-tat goes the sub-machine gun to restore the status quo

Snip, snip, go the tailor�s scissors on the suit in Saville Row

Here we come, the jet set junta 2x

[Talulah1997]

The lyrics still have something today to say....

[MrBField]

xxxing love the lyrics.

Did this make it to the popular music charts back in the day ???

Missed if it it did, but hopes it did.

Still, hey ho lets go.

Wow - all of this in one minute and forty-four seconds! For those still curious "Volume Brilliance & Contrast" "Love Zombies" and "Eligible Bacheors" are there finest LPS. Look them up on discogs dot com for their full discography.
