  • Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
    You splash me with beauty and pull me down
    'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
    My glance turns to a stare

    Obsession rules me, I'm yours from the start
    I know you see me, our eyes interlock
    'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
    My glance turns to a stare

    One minute here and one minute there
    Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
    One minute here and one minute there
    And then you wave goodbye

    Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
    All energy funnels, all becomes you
    'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
    My glance turns to a stare

    One minute here and one minute there
    Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
    One minute here and one minute there
    And it hurts inside

    One minute here and one minute there
    And then you wave goodbye (goodbye) Writer/s: BILL GOULD, JAMES BLANCO MARTIN, MICHAEL ALLEN PATTON, MICHAEL ANDREW BORDIN, RODDY CHRISTOPHER BOTTUM

  • Niels from NetherlandsThis to me was an awesome opener of an awesome album. I’m aware of their first two albums but here it all clicked (with the new frontman as well) and the fairly unique blend of rock (metal even), funk, pop and whatever was delivered with a kinetic and mysterious vibe and was captured by the recording very well… for me this album was their only really enjoyable outing from A to Z. Saw them in Amsterdam that tour, just as great live.

    (btw I didn’t like the reissue where the Black Sabbath cover(s) which were added ruined the terrific atmosphere of closing instrumental track ‘Woodpecker from Mars’)
  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganSounds like love (lust) at first sight. In the third verse it seems like he finally got to third base and is doing her.
  • Eliseu from Canoas, BrazilZero, there are some on Discogs for sale:

  • Zero from Nowhere, NjI love this band and have all their albums except for We Care A Lot which is nearly impossible to find for a reasonable price. Does anyone know where I could get that album for no higher than $40? (I'll probably have to get the cassette or vinyl, or maybe download it.)
