Crazy how few people know about this song. Feel like it should catch a ride on the youtube algorithm, at some point. Reminds me of the Stone Roses remix album (which was also awesome) -- probably bc Paul Oakenfold had his hand in both mixes (?). Original song came out in '88, I think.
One of Paul Oalenfolds greatest achievements right here in this mix. Oddly, also Shaun Ryders favourite mix but, the Vince Clarke version did better. Both have equal standing in this house
I wrote for luck They sent me you I sent for juice You give me poison I hold the line You form the queue Try anything hard Is there anything else you can do? Well, not much, I've not been trained I can sit and stand, beg n' roll over I don't read, I just guess There's more than one sign But it's getting less And you were wet But you're getting dryer You use to speak the truth But now you're liar You use to speak the truth But now you're clever And I wrote for luck And they sent me you And I sent for juice You give me poison I hold the line You form the queue Try anything hard Is there anything else you can do? And you were wet But you're getting dryer You use to speak the truth But now you're clever You use to speak the truth But now you're clever And when it's hot You start to melt 'Coz you're not made of jean You're made of chocolate And when it's cold You tend to crack You keep on piling out Not puttin' back
This still gives me the goosebumps like it did back then, a lots changed but no this, thank god, this is proof to me that em days were real 😂 how good they were..an absolute cracker x
