Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
I spent my deformative years in Washington D.C. from '76 to '90 and in that time WHFS brought all the 70's-80's Brit pop bands to my ears and of course Echo and the Bunnymen. Those were the days. After 28 years elsewhere I'm back in DC but there ain't no radio station to listen to anymore yet good ol' RadioParadise never fails.
I'm in the DC area as well and miss the ol' HSF.
This is my favorite cut off of this album, but for a different reason. Circa 1990, I was living in Washington, DC and had an absolutely amazing 2 week fling with a really cute and fun French au pair before she went back to France. This song was playing as we spent the night on a friend's couch at a beach house out in Dewey Beach. Will never forget those two weeks, and this song brings it back every time.
Yo Tiger.. Thank you for that share! Those memories will keep you going forever.
I was in DC from 83-90. HFS was my mojo. Lived for it. My favorite era of music. Visited the original Nightclub 9:30. Saw some great bands. Saw Echo, The Furs, Eurythmics, New Order, R.E.M. Let's Active, 10,000 Maniacs, The Clash, B.A.D., The BoDeans to name a few. What memories. Weasel knew his stuff!
I was lucky enough to see Chris Isaak at the 9:30 Club circa 1989, right before he hit the big time. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Ian McCulloch used to literally make me swoon back in the day, he was so gorgeous.
On a more serious note, favourite track? "The Cutter"

Lips like chicken.
This is one of a lot greatest tracks wich i discovered on RP . Sounds more better than Seal interpretation. When i heard this song on RP for the first time it make me a much better day. Many thanks from Transsylvania, Romania. Be blessed !
Selam, Qayili Erten! (Hello, Good Morning). That is why we come to RP, to be introduced to new music! Thanx RP!
How did I hear, "Lips like chicken?"
Because they're Brit Twats!
..... CHickeeeen Kissssses!
is kind of cute, though chickens have no Lips 👄....🐥😓

I was in DC from from 1981 to 1990. WHFS was my life! Weasel was the bomb! That was the happiest time in my musical life. Saw all the biggies in this genre in DC and Merriweather Post. Echo, Furs, New Order, Euryrthmics, RHCP's and Modern English to name a few. When I knew we were moving to SC in 1990 I went a bought 2 10 packs of TDK 90 minute tapes to record all I could. I always had a tape in the player with the radio on 99.1 with the cassette on record and pause. I brought HFS to Greenville and what a life saver that was. NO music scene at all. I still have a few of them handy but nothing to play them on. So sad. I worked in DC at 16th and L but lived in Arlington. Single and .....

If you have HD try 103 5 HD3 the Gamut. It's also on 98.3 over the air in places. Not nearly as good as RadioParadise but a good change up every once in a while. I seriously don't what will happen if radioparadise goes the way of HFS... extreme depression and anxiety I guess.

All hail "the Weasel" who has, the last time i looked, a weekend show at WTMD!

I would say the same with pretty much all good music. RP is the only shelter.
Oh man, anyone have a clove I can smoke?? Such a great time in my life (well, the cloves weren't my best decision...)
San Francisco Academy of Art 1987 -- wearing black and smoking cloves required for admittance....
Pig lips like sugar.
Much-neeeded bump.
Great playlist today!!!!!
As opposed to what - yesterday, last week, month? Lol! Safe to say that is true everyday (not every moment), but every day. ;)
Brings back great memories of dancing like an ass at the Limelight in NYC in the Big 80s.
I remember dancing to this in Reading (UK not Pennsylvania) in the 80s.

Hahaha! Me too!
I had a girl like this once
So graceful, So beautiful
Smells to want more
Never enough and yet too much
In the 80's, WTMD's predecessor, WCVT, was a genuine independent college radio station. They played music that commercial radio (including HFS) wouldn't touch, including fringe UK and European punk bands on their home labels. But I learned about lots of independent labels, before they were bought up by the conglomerates in the mid-late 80s.
Today, yeah, they're much more "formatted"
That's because he's very short, so short.
Huh....no radio stations in DC....reeks of a political funk.
Or WTMD in Baltimore
Perhaps WDHA (also from New Jersey)?
It's because he's very short. He's standing on a box in this photo.
That's 'cause he's from New Joisey! (not really, but maybe he stayed down the shore one summer and got infected with the 80's tall hair worm).
Or WTMD in Baltimore
Or WFMU out of jersey city

I can sense your jealousy.
Everybody in my church loves this original version...

"The hairor. The hairor"
Really love the Bunnymen. And what a clever band name.
But judging from their faces and expressions, no one would ever redub them Echo & The Funnymen.
"The hairor. The hairor"
Those are the barnets from Hell, right enough ;-)
For sure!
Ditto - do they ever write dud tunes?

......... yes, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Exactly. Posted my memories of this song back in 2004. Still have the same reaction every time it comes on.
I wish I had experienced UC back in the 80s when this type of music would have been playing. I was at UGA (Athens, GA) at the time...awesome place to be then too, as you know. ;)
Go Dawgs. I'm class of '79. The music in Athens around that time was superb. Saw Chuck Mangione(Bellavia) for free at the student center.The b52s were strong there then, REM was floating around,the campus radio station was killer(almost like Radio Paradise).I requested Stairway to Heaven once and they just laughed at me. Would see the guys from Goose Creek Symphony at TK Hardys. Best was going to Atlanta to Alex Cooleys Electric Ballroom to see FLO and Eddie then walking in to the Fox Theater afterwords(for Free)and catching the last set and encore of Fleetwood Mac then trying to get to Civic center to get a Who peek. Didn't make class much that year-Parents seriously irritated. Music GPA> 4.0 Scholastic GPA>not so much. hated that summer term. And yep,love Echo and the B'men, 'specially Lips like sugar.
reminds me of the University Club in Gainesville

Can say that for just about any town since Reagan destroyed the FCC and Clear Channel/I "heart" Radio took over.....
