Our temple lemon-flavored rain
She peels an orange on the Hunts Cross train
They're playing radios in garrish slums
She plays Vivaldi all night long
She's my love flavored melting blue delicious
She's my love flavored melting blue delicious

She's on the Northern Line
She can't stop
They're smokin' white stuff all night shop
She paints her toenails "Spectral Blue"
She's like a candle half burned through
She's my love flavored melting blue delicious
She's love flavored melting blue delicious

She's my love flavored melting blue delicious
She's love flavored melting blue delicious

That album cover looks like Walt Disney threw up.

the vocals not so much...



True, vocals have a Lloyd Cole quality to these ears. I would choose Jesus Jones, or even some select Lloyd Cole actually,  if I wanted a similar sound.
bedbugs and ballyhoo.
Hunts Cross is on the railway line 3 stations from Widnes, where Paul Simon wrote Homeward Bound...

I bet when people were commenting on this 15 years ago they didn't see a virus on the cover.
bleh.
I like the sound, though they remind me of a band you might hear at an festival or at one of those art & music affairs.
It was fun to hear this one again. Fun, because it doesn't get played too often. Let's keep it fun, and not play it too often.

What an incredibly overused chord progression.
guess that means it's effective. I am seat dancing.
Someone has to write about this group...don't know much about them but have some fond memories of mixes with their song Young Manhood....that we had playing once on a trek to Kanchenjunga in Nepal...go figure how that happened...actually played at base camp on a 3oth bday party.
What an incredibly overused chord progression.
