Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame 1986
You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin
And you want her, and she wants you....
I remember, in 1984 or so, a teenaged student of mine expressing admiration that I had a tape of Howard Jones, who wrote/sang/published music for a while in the early 80's. Videos were a major thing too, of course I never watched them. Google YouBoob, he's there! Years later, I discovered how weird lookin' he truly was. He started mohawks that my relations are sporting today. Strange.
His music is a haunting reminder of so many pasts lives I've led. Teacher. Trainer. Candlestick-maker.
Sigh. Those days are still so close. He was GREAT to ride horses to, too. Very rhythmic/hypnotic/rollicking. I've mentioned music and horses before, haven't I?
Howard Jones lyrics and GoLightly had a lot in common.
Oh, and my readership has dwindled, as I predicted it would, but it is hard to hold your fingers back from what they've been fulminating on for 40+ years.
