those we do not speak of

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door


Woke up this morning. Didn’t feel like getting up immediately. I pressed play on the cd player’s remote control. Explosions in The Sky’s “First breath after the coma” was on. Great track, bad timing. Got up. Changed the disc. It was almost twenty years ago… Frankie said WELCOME TO THE PLEASUREDOME… Trevor Horn produced. Anne Dudley arranged the strings. Paul Morley was the verbal terrorist. And the lads were there. Relax is one of the most memorable singles of all times and, as they say, the rest is history. So the record was re-released last year, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of pop music’s most significant and important double albums ever!!!

Aye aye aye aye……
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
For those with an eye for the finer details, we salute you…

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The Zen Master was asked the solemn question-what is Buddha? He took off his sandal, put it on his head, and walked away.

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me

Vary pleasure incessantly [never more than two hours of the same task] and from all these successive pleasures make one continual pleasure.


This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

Right now, what Frankie has to say is very very entertaining. Right now, Frankie is hip, but how long is he going to remain hip?

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Coming next;
Post-Bang, and other things…


Yes I know, Frankie Goes To Hollywood are considered to be the Millie Vanilli of the 80s… but… that’s just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unfair!
‘Cause, the demise of Frankie Goes To Hollywood left a gaping hole in the world’s pop scene and many, including myself and White Car In Germany, regret their passing. Hardcore Arena purchased a Holly Johnson solo album the other day. Imagine…
Says their notorious producer Trevor Horn [if u r under 25, u'd have heard of him thanx to Belle & Sebastian and...erm... Tatu]: “Listening to their tracks today – they still sound wonderful!”

They really do…
Aye aye aye aye…
I have to go....

είναι ένα από τα καλύτερα τραγούδια αγάπης που έχουν γραφτεί...και είναι αγέραστο...οσο για τους Φράνκι...ναι, δεν άρεσαν στους συμμαθητές μου που έγραφαν με μαρκαδόρο πάνω στις στρατιωτικές τους τσάντες "the doors" ή πήγαιναν στα φεστιβάλ της κνε...αλλά σ' αυτούς δεν άρεσα ούτε εγώ...και δεν μου άρεσαν ούτε εκείνοι...
