Cruel You - Shoes
Loading...
Uploaded by Lpstd1 on Jun 8, 2007
Classic bit of power pop from 1979
Baby, when you dialed the telephone
I thought you were gonna call your mother dear
Instead you called him over here
And I didn't know what to do
Baby, when you opened the window
I thought that you'd be getting some air to breathe
Instead you reached out for another need
And I didn't know what to do
Why do you lie
Why do you hold your head up high
So other eyes flashing by
See I'm not over you
Cruel you, you wasted my heart
Will I ever hear you say I need you, oh
Baby, when you dealt the final blow
I thought you were gonna pull me through this mess
Instead I stood by helpless while you undressed
And I didn't know what to do
Baby, when I pointed the gun at you
I thought that you'd be begging down on your knees
Instead you wouldn't even say please
And I didn't know what to do
Why do you lie
Why do you hold your head up high
So other eyes flashing by
See I'm not over you
Cruel you, you wasted my heart
Will I ever hear you say I loved you
I loved you, oh
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Cruel you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

@48krash He's my lobster!

This came out the same year as Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes (both book and album which has this routine)......................
.........coincidence? -
Lets face it this should have been the sort of thing John Lennon should have come out with in 1978 and if he did it would have been massive
-
@nrk4u2 in reality the shoes couldn't touch the cars--Ben Orr , Ocasek, Easton they ain't
-
freaking tremendous. just some punk ass publicist away from greatness
-
In a just world, the Shoes would have been the Cars and the Cars would have been the Shoes.

@KonoShunkan: Actually, there's a band bio coming out in early 2011 which explains a lot of what happened.

@geminibuzz Too right, mate. I fucking loved this band when I was a kid and it still pisses me off 30 years later that they sank into obscurity. How did that happen?

Possibly the greatest of the under-rated bands of all time. I still can't understand why they weren't living on the top of the record charts.
