Man, the list is slow, and I've got some time to blow at the end of my work day. So here are the lyrics to the Captain Sensible/Robyn Hitchcock song "secrets." I take RH wrote the lyrics from most of the interviews I've read about that era in RH's history, and they really sound like RH lyrics. If any one knows differently, please let me know. Hitchcock doesn't play or sing on this song, just co-wrote it: - -Nuppy s.e.c.r.t.s. crowds of men with eyes that shine up and down the railway line they've been at the turpentine but I don't think its odd secrets in the fading light your deoderants alright charity begins at night but I don't think it's odd I've been watching from the window I've been watching from the door but I'm not sure no I'm not sure if this if what you want after all you said johnny always pushed in front now poor johnnys dead I guess the moral is:- "DON'T BE SOMEONE ELSE'S GEAR" secrets on the radar screen wonder where those dots have been you wont live to be 19 but don't you thinks its odd secrets in the after glow soldiers arent supposed to know until the doctor says hello do you believe in GOD I've been hanging round Brighton I've been hanging round the pier Its lovely here But it seems so queer If this is what you want after all it did screwed your head on back to front Look at poor old SYD I guess the moral is :- "DONT WEAR SOMEONE ELSES GEAR" secrets in atomic piles up and down the British Isles everytime a shop girl smiles no one thinks its ODD Secrets that I can't reveal sorry but my lips are sealed If you knew the way I feel You might think its ODD Secrets that you'll never see though you're sitting next to me I'm where you can never be but I dont think its ODD Secrets that you'll never know dating back so long ago burning in the radio do you believe in GOD _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 08:45:11 -0500 From: recount dracula Subject: HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM DEPARTURE LOUNGE for those who are curious about what tim keegan is up to... >Reply-To: "Andrea / Grimsey" >From: "Andrea / Grimsey" >To: >Subject: HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM DEPARTURE LOUNGE >Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2000 11:24:15 -0600 > >We hope this message finds you in good spirits send you sackfuls of good >vibes for the festive season. > >Here in the Departure Lounge camp we are putting the finishing touches >to the new album, which will be out everywhere sometime in the new year. >Sorry we can't be more specific yet, but we'll let you know as soon as >we do and promise it will be worth the wait. > >You will have heard about our contribution to the Xfm Christmas album, >which has been getting rave reviews.
