poor pete

As prospects diminish
As nightmares swell
Some pray for heaven
While we live in hell

When I was wee and the Bunnymen were afoot, I did’nt have a clue what this lyric was about. I just believed Heaven Up Here had been delivered on stone tablets and who was I to argue.
In rooms florid with hash clouds and dripping in unexpensive red wine, the faithful came to bear witness. It was incredible how instant cult status was then and how many times it turned out to be correct.
From Show Of Strength to the title track is just breathless and then comes The Disease. Camus must have smiled and I’m sure Courtney has, a few times no doubt.
It does’nt end there either. Zimbo comes on like punk Clannad and somehow it refuses to suck, No Dark Things is groovy “entertainment” with edith bowie on croon. In the majestic Turquoise Days, Mac generously gives doomed romantics their song. All I Want is Teen Spirit done by Franz.
It’s rather good actually.
