Wow... Stumbled Across This... 'Tomorrow Wendy's Going To Die'

[WillyT]

Somebody's personal A\V, to Concrete Blonde's 'Wendy'.

CB... greatly under-rated band.

'Wendy'... an ode to the lead singer's friend who died of HIV\AIDS.

Lyrics (generally pissed off):

It is complete now the two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street, she's walking to end of the line
And there she meets the faces she keeps in her heart and mind

They say 'good bye' Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say 'good bye' Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,

Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
Were shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie's driving by and

They say 'good try'
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die

I told the priest, Don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Only God says jump
So I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw her
It was through these eyes of mine!
And if he ever suffered it was me who did his crying

Hey hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy's going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy's going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy'd going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendys going to die

[WillyT]

2. The Only Song I Ever Heard On Mainstream Radio, Was 'Joey' !!!

Fine song, but by no means their best.

Their entire first albumn was hit after hit.



:shrug:

[and-justice-for-all]

3. I think the Janet, the lead vocalist, does solo stuff..nt

[WillyT]

4. Johnette Napolitano... Janet Would Be The Governor Of Arizona, LOL !!!

Are they related??? Hmm...

Anywho... she went on to do...



Met her bass player right after they finished this... also good.

And then...



Whick I'm gonna have to check out since this is the first I've heard of it (2007).

:shrug:

:hi:

What a voice though...

[WillyT]

5. LOL !!! - And... (I Love This, Almost Forgot)

When the Talking Heads wanted to tour again, David Byrne was not interested. So... the rest of the band got together and produced...



Johnette did a couple of songs as a vocalist on the album, but was supposedly their main vocalist when they toured for this.

:rofl:


:shrug:

[and-justice-for-all]

7. Johnette , Janet...you knew what I was talking about...LOL

6. More... First Big Hit...

Lyrics:

I was walking down the street early this morning
Past the graveyard, voices singin' to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver drops of rain hung from the leaves
And I swear I heard the voices singing to me...
Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet,
I swear I heard the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in Hollywood!
Oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why.

And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A. -
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose

Still in Hollywood,
Oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running like a rat and I don't know why

And so it's three A.M., I'm out walking again.
I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in the city of sin.
He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck.
You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck.
But I swear I hear the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Still in Hollywood...
