THE TEARDROP EXPLODES - REWARD (OGWT 1980)

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face buttons all askew
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
Princes stand in queues they stand accused
Death in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
Silence has it
Arrogance has it
I can have it ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward

Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same

I always wanted his flight jacket...he ruined it on stage a few years later. I saw them open for Queen in 83 (84?) they were booed of stage....Shame.

DOORS of perception yeah yeah

Great performance , cleaner sound with live brass too.

I'm hoping one day their OGWT 82 special for Wilder will turn up on here.
