Lekker up-tempo, prachtige gitaar,
heerlijke bas, mooie stem. Wat wil een mens nog meer van een rockband.
Dit is van de eerste LP (Crocodiles) uit
1980. De tweede LP (Heaven Up Here) was wat mij betreft de beste, met klassiek nummer zoals Over
the Wall en Show of Strength. Toch voor dit nummer gekozen (misschien omdat ik het een beetje mee
kan rammen op de gitaar?).
In 1983 was Echo & the Bunnymen op
Rockpalast. Het hele concert staat op YouTube. Genieten!!
Lyrics
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's-a-happenin'
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Mixing up the medicine
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's-a-happenin'
People rolling 'round on the carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
I drank some of the medicine
And I didn't like the taste
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
People rolling 'round on your carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things
Been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's-a-happenin'
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet
Passing 'round the medicine
Been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's-a-happenin'
People rolling 'round on my carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet, boys
But I never thought they'd do those things
Bop-showaddywaddy shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bop-showaddywaddy shake your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bop-showaddywaddy save your money
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bop-showaddywaddy save your money
