Subject: Spandau Ballet - True

Once upon a lite rock music station's favorite song...

--------------------------
Spandau Ballet
True
Blue

So blue
Funny how it seems
Always in line, but never in line for dreams             [in line at a bar]
Head over heels, when toe-to-toe        [Tears for fears - Head over heels]
This is the sound of retro (This is the sound)

I got a ticket from some girl                          [party announcement]
But now I'm waiting again       [trying to make way across the dance floor]
Why do I find it hard to be waiting in line?             [the line of life]
Oh, I want the truth to be said

Ha ha ha haa ha I know this much is true
Ha ha ha haa ha I know this much is blue

With a thrill in my head and friends dancing to songs
Dissolve the night in '-eb-ria-tion         [Stamborski' pronunciation :) ]
Listening to Marvin all night long           [Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing]
This is the sound of retro (This is the sound)

Always slipping from my hands                       [the three. JJJ or BSU]
Stands a mystery all alone                        [Madonna - Like a prayer]
Take my Hawaiian in your arms and write the next line       [Blue Hawaiian]
Oh I want the truth to be known

Ha ha ha haa ha I know this much is true
Ha ha ha haa ha I know this much is blue

[instrumental filler]

I gotta tell it to the world   [I'll shout it from a mountain top, hey world!]
Let's dance to retro again!
But why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Well, I want the truth to be said

Ha ha ha haa ha I know this much is true
Ha ha ha haa ha I'd like to, dance til, TWO!    [ I know this much is brew! ]

This much is blue

This much is true   This much is blue
I know, I know, I know this much is true
This much is true (ha ha ha haa ha) This much is blue
... [repeats and varies through fade]

 A public service announcement: ;)
   "I'd like to dance til TWO! [ I know this much is brew! ]"
       If you go to a party, you're never buying alcohol,
       you're buying just a plain old empty container, and your hand
       was autographed by the person who sold you the cup. :)
