But how can anyone think <I>"The number one I hope to reap depends upon the tears you weap"</I> (supposedly after breaking her heart) is a romatic line? Pure genius!<BR/><BR/>Their 1998 album <I>Quench</I> is one of my favourites; if you don't take the melancholy too seriously the lyrics can be downright funny in a "who comes up with that!?" kinda way. Not to mention enough innuendo on <I>Perfect 10</I> to make anyone's day. Their former Housemartins buddy Norman "Fat Boy Slim" Cook helped out with what they call "open rhythm surgery", which makes for some great, well, rhythms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38474413.post-20238532889404807122007-05-07T06:25:00.000-04:002007-05-07T06:25:00.000-04:00Oh the memories you've stirred with this one. Beau...Oh the memories you've stirred with this one. <B>Beautiful South</B> was one of my first introductions to brit pop and <I>Woman In The Wall</I> still manages to make me bust out in smiles (while spontaneously bounce around the room) whenever I hear it. Thanks for the reminder of one of the first bands to clue me in that maybe there was more out there than what I was hearing on the airwaves.Lisa G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214049889181795940noreply@blogger.com
