Couple Of Years

Dramarama

We're going hunting with imaginary guns
Shooting little balls of color
When they see us, everybody runs
The lawyer loved it and he gave us all cigars
And he took us to a restaurant
The waiters looked like movie stars

Haaa-aaah! Cat got your tongue?
I'm coughing up a piece of my lung
Think about my choice of careers
Man, it's been a couple of years

I'm giving everything, but still it's not enough
Now their calling all the markers in
I'm calling off this blind man's bluff
They called us wonderful
It's strictly alphabetical
They thought it was phenomenal
We're punking out of medical

HA-HA, talk about sheep
I'm hanging out with Little Bo Peep
You better bring a good pair of shears
Man, it's been a couple of years

HA-HA, you're pulling my leg
I think I found some face in my egg
We count on the support of our peers
Man, it's been a couple of years

And you'll often find me at the lost and found
Cuz I'm always leaving parts of me around

HA! Cat got your tongue
I'm coughing up a piece of my lung
I think about my choice of careers
Man, it's been a couple of years

HA-HA, you're pulling my leg
I think I found some face in my egg
I count on the support of our peers
Man, it's been a couple of years

HA-HA, talk about sheep
I'm hanging out with Little Bo Peep
You better bring a good pair of shears
Man, it's been a couple of years
HA HA HA
HA HA HA
HA HAA HAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
