GLORY OF THE 80'S

uk glory of the 80's cd "looking back, i wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the 80's than as a working musician in l.a.  there was a wonderful decadence about that time, even being on the bottom of the food chain in the underground scene. going up to melrose, buying your outfit from retail slut, spraying and teasing up your hair ... happy times."

GLORY OF THE 80'S took a taxi form LA to Venus in 1985 i was electromagnetically sucked back into a party going on that night it was the gory of the 80s with karma drawn up in lines and 2 bugle boy models saying "baby it's a freebie you sure look deprived." I had the Story of O in my bucket seat of my wanna be mustang auditioning for reptiles in their Raquel Welsh campaign in the glories of the 80s you said "I'm not afraid to die" I said I don't find that remotely funny, even on this space cake high and then when it all seemed clear just then you go and disappear silicone party babies to the left and Joan of Arcs to the right no one feeling insecure we were all gorge and famous in our last lives in the glories of the 80s you said "the end is nothing to fear" I said blow the end now baby who do i gotta shag to get outta here and then when it all seemed clear just then you go and disappear sure you're out there orbiting around wish i had you back now i met a drag king called venus she had a velvet hologram she said "my husband ran off with my shaman but they love me as i am" in the glories of the 80s i may not have to die i'll clone myself like that blonde chick that sings Bette Davis eyes and then when it all seemed to clear just then you go and disappear
