Absolutely love it.

The streets are so empty at this time of night I'd rather walk on my own than fight In a world where I'd forgotten you I found myself forgotten, too That's the danger of believing books And all the lies of those thieves and crooks We sing intellectual songs of love From a stolen pen to a velvet glove.

Defenitely a lyrical highlight. :thumb:

This is one of my all-time fave NO songs, so there won't be much to nitpick.

Best bits for me are the intro, Bernard's singing and lyrics, and the build-up of the song.

Nothing bad about this one.

Rating of 99% percent, nothing perfect in this world, is there?

Mind over face and body.

  1. The acoustic intro, it's not something you'd expect from a synth-rock juggernaught! Barney's lyrics too, some of his best.

  2. The drums sound a little harsh and Hooky's bass could've been mixed a little better I think. But the song is almost 20 years old :shrug:

  3. Love it. One of the highlights from Brotherhood and sounded even better on the Electronic Ecstacy bootleg.

  4. 85% easy.

  5. Erm... definitely face. You don't want to end up with a BOBFOC (Body of Baywatch, Face off Crimewatch) :D

Ally.

I love this one despite it seeming a bit on the C&W side. It sounded fantastic live and rounds off a spotty but enjoyable Brotherhood album. I guess it's to Brotherhood what Run Wild was to Get Ready but much, much better.

i'll give it an appropriate 85%

The performance of this broadcast on the Whistle test 85 was awesome :thumb:

One of the better more acoustically-based songs of the Order's catalogue both in terms of melody & lyrics-prob owes a bit to Barney's admiration of Neil Young(I remember seeing NY perform a live version of "Cinnamon Girl" on a late-night program in Oz called Rage where various performers/bands get several hours of airtime to present some of thier favourite artists/songs-NO did this when they did their most recent Oz tour in 2002 and that NY performance featured on there-among some other very ace stuff).

Always been one of my favorites.

Shame they can't/won't/don't do it live "these days".
