Week Fifty-Nine: iPod Picks - Part Deux - The Monroes - "What Do All the People Know?" - The Monroes EP

For Week Fifty-Nine, I'm lacking a bit of inspiration for a theme, so I'm turning my iPod loose again (in the form of putting it on shuffle) and letting it do the picking, just like I did in Week Thirty... Fortunately for me, it still hasn't died yet... It will be a sad, sad day when it eventually happens...

This is such a great feel-good tune, and it has popped up in my world at the most random times. A few summers ago, I heard it on 100.3 - Jack FM - when I was driving around town. Then I proceeded to purchase the EP from Amazon.com.

A few months ago, I heard it when I was grocery shopping at a local Albertsons, which happens to have a penchant for playing phenomenal 80's tunes and which is why they have gained my loyalty as a shopper!

A few weeks ago, I was at a birthday dinner with a co-worker at P.F. Changs, and I heard it yet again while we were dining --- along with The Cure and Echo & the Bunnymen.

Now, my iPod decided to select it for one of this week's posts so that I could share it with you. I honestly haven't heard any other tunes by this band, and it appears, from what I read on Wiki, that they had many issues that prevented them from achieving much success. However, I really, really like this song, and I hope you do too!!!

You know I told you once tonight
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun

Tell me am I getting in to deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of?
Could you be the girl I really love?
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know

You know I told you once tonight
That you could always speak your mind
You work so hard to say what's right
I watch you do it all the time
And when I called you on the phone
You said that I could be the one
But here I'm standing all alone
And you're out lying in the sun

Tell me am I getting in to deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Maybe we're just holding on
To something that'll soon become
Could you be the one I'm thinking of?
Could you be the girl I really love?
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know

Do you think I'm blind to what you do?
Do you think I really care for you?
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play
Do you think we both should let it go?
Do you think we both should let it show?
Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play

Tell me am I getting in to deep
Every night I'm talking in my sleep
Lately I am so confused
I really don't know what to do
Could you be the one I'm thinking of?
Could you be the girl I really love?
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
All the people tell me so
But what do all the people know
