Adam and the Ants - Press Darlings (live)

Adam and the Ants - Press Darlings
Lyrics:
we are guilty, we are beyond hope
we beg to differ, we are a terminal case
press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
press darlings, press darlings
we depress the press, darlings

we're on the outside, but we're not looking in
we are the vaseline gang, don't play your little games
press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
press darlings, press darlings
we depress the press, darlings
and if evil be the food of genius
there aren't many demons around
if passion ends in fashion
nick kent / bushell is the best-dressed man in town

are we different? - no

we are exactly the same
there are no boxes for us
the ones you love to hate - so read on!

Does this song exist on any cd in the UK?

Strange that it was'nt added as an extra track on the re-issue of Kings of the Wild frontier or Prince Charming, because it's a great song!

[ElixirOfThought]

I think the only UK CD it's on is the 'Super Hits' compilation from 1998. And, yeah, it is strange, considering it's probably one of their best songs...

[Johnzoil]

There was actually loads of good music in the 80's, it's just there was a lot of crap to go with it.

[sshatchell]

They were well ahead of their time. If only they were at their prime currently.

[MisAnnThorpe]

@lukewilder1965 That's a very valid point and although I've never noticed it before this actually sounds like Killing Joke circa Fire dances.

[newfuckingwave]

the man is literally a genius. i legitimately cannot comprehend why the 'press darlings' do not recognize him as such. i mean, fuck, who the HELL else sounds like him?

[tazzikins23]

@skellaway its also on the Dandy Highwayman Best of Adam and the Ants. Its a great CD anyway :)

[ktgibbsribs]

[Cougari72]

@skellaway I only know it was a b side ot one of the kings songs..

[ScarlettEmpress]

Christ he's gorgeous. I've never seen someone rock the leather pants like that.

[BabyG18]

the guitar riff of lenny kravitz - want to get away sounds similar to this.

Adam , as well as marco, are such innovators

[ThinkLikeAZombie]

@skellaway It's on the Dandy Highwaymen The Best Of Adam And The Ants CD

[lukewilder1965]

the only 80's band to compare to them is Killing Joke

[adamismyprincecharmi]
