Moments of perfection
Idle in the sunshine
Over there in yonder
In another world

I'm not your kind
I'm not your girl
Dreams we had seemed bright
And passed the time

Cologne cerrone, cerrone Houdini
Cerrone Houdini
Cologne cerrone, cerrone Houdini
Cerrone Houdini

Sunlight in your eyes
Driving over stateside
Left the smoke behind us
Could we be together in another world?

I'm not your kind
I'm not your girl
See I'm in your car
But not your life

Cologne cerrone, cerrone Houdini
Cerrone Houdini
Cologne cerrone, cerrone Houdini
Cerrone Houdini

Sunlight in your eyes
Sunlight in our eyes
Like diamonds in your hair

Standing the test of time extremely well. My ratings are climbing.

I'm going to increase my rating, purely for the bombast of the title alone.

I see shades of Adam Ant. With less makeup, obviously.

Speaking of which, I loves me some AA - but have never heard it on RP. An oversight on Bill's part?

Sounds like it should be a Bond song. And that is good.

I turned my son-in-law onto Felt Mountain and he had the same reaction I did.  "I want more of this - I'm buying every Goldfrapp album."  Me, "well there isn't much more of that.  Their other albums are... different."  Except for a few tracks - like this one

Bit of a Serge Gainsbourg / Melody Nelson vibe with that bass and those strings. Sure it is not an accident. Love it!

First casual listen and thought it was a new Kate Bush song.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The cover of her latest CD, which I just bought, is much better.  I can't imagine you meant the song is the worst ever (OK, got that part), but the cover art is the best ever?
Posted 10 years ago by rdo    [ Reply ]
Something off the new CD was on last night and I jumped over to her website, and looked through the videos. I really like a few of her songs, but they have done a lot of crap, and made even worse videos for them. Makes you wonder what she could do with better collaboration.

I rather like this (it's in my RP Favorites playlist) and don't find the lietmotif orchestral hits to be that annoying, although I can easily see how they could be! :-)

Thank you for playing Goldfrapp! So good! (Whenever I play her for others, they always ask, "Who is she?" Her Starbucks name is a little unfortunate, though.)
