Week Seventeen will be Installment I of 90s Britpop and will feature Ash & Suede (also referred to as London Suede)
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
After hearing "Goldfinger", I had kind of forgotten about this darling band called Ash, until they came to visit me again on one of my Pandora Stations many years later in the form of this song, "Burn Baby Burn".
If you have never heard this song, you are in for a real treat today!! Even from the opening notes, you can just tell that this tune rocks hard!!!
One thing I will never understand, however, is why bands have an obsession with shooting their videos in school gymnasiums (i.e. Nirvana, She & Him, & now Ash). Maybe it is because I have to walk my students over to their P.E. class every day and attend pep rallies four times a year in the stinky school gym that the whole idea of it having any allure has been lost. Who knows? But this is yet another school gymnasium video, which can be excused only by the fact that the track they are playing is simply amazing!
You're all I have in this teenage twilight
Your golden hair and pale blue eyes
But through all the days and the sleepless nights
We have never been satisfied
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will burn baby burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died
You walk like you're in a daze
Unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze
Like all the good times have flown away
And their memory leaves a bitter taste
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Destructive love is all we have
Destructive love is all I am
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died
Vicious bitter words
Becoming more and more cruel
But you always take me back
And let me lick your wounds
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will burn baby burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
We're living in a compromise
Oh something inside has died
Your golden hair and pale blue eyes
But through all the days and the sleepless nights
We have never been satisfied
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will burn baby burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died
You walk like you're in a daze
Unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze
Like all the good times have flown away
And their memory leaves a bitter taste
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Destructive love is all we have
Destructive love is all I am
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died
Vicious bitter words
Becoming more and more cruel
But you always take me back
And let me lick your wounds
Tumbling like the leaves
We are spiralling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will burn baby burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh yeah, this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
We're living in a compromise
Oh something inside has died
