Call me naive, I don't understand why the BBC banned this 🤔 "Homosuperior in my interior But from the skin out I'm Homosapien too And you're Homosapien too" Nothing explicit there 🤷♀️ That like saying you are superior under the skin, but externally you look like any other human 🤔 fuck the BBC! BBC is explicit, you don't wanna get shafted by one of those if you are not that way inclined 😅😂😂
This apparently charted highest here in Australia (#4). Molly Meldrum curated the musical tastes of a nation through Countdown! The beautiful and gorgeous film Holding the Man soundtrack (2015) brought me here.
Green shirts and white suit...that is style. Amazing song..every second of this song is full of musical layers...can't say the same for anything Coming out these days the are deigning to call music.
This came out in 1981; the same year that MTV aired on national television. I lived in a very rural framing village in New Mexico, and I had limited access to MTV. Yet I have have next heard of this song till now. Cal anyone tell me if this video was allowed on MTV, and also was this song given any radio play in the US?
Have loved this since 1986 when I first heard it. I was 18 then, now 55. I only hope that real music like this manages to prevail beyond the fake, plastic, 'message' sponsored rubbish that our young folks are now bombarded with.
"I'm the shy boy, you're the coy boy And you know we're Homosapien too I'm the cruiser, you're the loser Me and you sir, Homosapien too Homosuperior in my interior But from the skin out I'm Homosapien too And you're Homosapien too And I'm Homosapien like you And we're Homosapien too And I think of your eyes in the dark And I see the star And I look to the light And I might wonder right where you are All the Gods in the sky, way up high See the world spinning 'round But the sun and the moon And the stars are so far from the ground I'm the shy boy, you're the coy boy And you know we're Homosapien too I'm the cruiser, you're the loser Me and you sir, Homosapien too Homosuperior in my interior But from the skin out I'm Homosapien too And you're Homosapien too And I'm Homosapien like you And we're Homosapien too And the worlds built of age are a stage Where we act out our lives And the words in the script seem to fit 'Cept we have some surprise I just want this to last Or my future is past and all gone And if this is the case Then I'll lose in life's race from now on Homosuperior in my interior But from the skin out I'm Homosapien too And you're Homosapien too And I'm Homosapien like you And we're Homosapien too And I just hope and pray That the day of our love is at hand You and I, me and you We will be one from two, understand? And the world is so wrong That I hope that we'll be strong enough For we are on our own And the only thing known is our love I don't wanna classify you Like an animal in the zoo But it seems good to me to know That you're Homosapien too"
Really cool song. I had the album when I was 13 or 14. I had no awareness of the homosexual ideas in it. Later in the eighties I was listening to Millions of Dead Cops, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, and Suicidal Tendencies. Still like a lot of that stuff, but I've moved on to R&B, Jazz, classical, and extreme progressive metal.
@jamieflowers1493 He'd make a tight little Kardashian tho...for real. He'd add some art and intellect and all kinda meta- controversy they couldn't handle (esp. When dad jenner comes over. Caitlin's a pot-stirrer) He just has to get hair extensions
Had all kinds of fun teaching 8th grade science back when people didn't get offended by the slightest thing. I'd confess to my students that I was Homosapien, and the looks were precious. After stringing them along for a bit, I'd finally tell them what it meant. Some classes were mature enough that I could show them this video "on the binomial classification system." They loved it. After that, a few students would see me in the hallway and sing a verse to me as we passed, and I'd follow with the next verse. Fun times. Great tune, clever lyrics. RIP, Pete.
Mid eighties, my Manchester friend said "b*tch*r's h**k" and it took me daes to realise. Saw (some) Buzzcocks at a fezzy, late noughties, neis! First heard this song this year, last month, in a (2014) mwfi on the BBC. I loves this song. As someone on this thread said nine years ago - "a piece of electro-rock hybrid music". Bilyant. Thank you Mr Shelley. I no longer think "Ever Fallen..." is your best song. Parch mawr atoch. . O. Wait. What if he played it at that fezzy before Laughing Lenny?
