Second Blogger Drunk Night, after a discussion of hot man-on-man action in class (more on this later), Vietnamese food in the TL, the state of Asian American studies (this is unavoidable), and finally a booth at the Edinburgh Castle. Clearly between Barb, Darren and me a scarily encyclopedic knowledge of '80s music prevails: Anything Box, Scritti Politti, General Public, Love And Rockets, Dead Or Alive, the Joe Boxers. We were only stumped with the stanzas to Spandau Ballet's "Only When You Leave," but a later consultation with an iPod gave us lyrics that were obviously better forgotten: "Laying in the afterglow / I only want to learn what you know."
Posted by the wily filipino at November 12, 2004 12:11 AMHey compare that Spandau B. lyric to the beginning and end of "Time Heals" on Hammill's _Over_. Now!

"i'm just an avegare boy / you're a more than average girl / and when you sing to me / the shoo-bee-doo's you sing so well / and don't you know that when i'm under you i'm overjoyed..."
