Week One Hundred and Forty-Two: Combo Audio - "Romanticide" - Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits - Volume One

When I was out running my errands yesterday, I heard this one on 1st Wave on Sirius XM.  However, the first time I ever heard it was when I acquired a copy of Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits - Volume One back in 1994.  As soon as the opening beats to this song blasted out of my car stereo, I fell in love with this song immediately.

I will include scans of the cover, the liner photo, the liner notes, and my actual cassette, which you can see was popped in and out of my cassette deck so many times that the script is wearing off:





 Additionally, Combo Audio created two different versions of the video for this tune; so I will include both of those for you today!








It wasn't like movies
In movies they work it out
Laughing at those hearts broken open
You walked in, you threw me out
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with

It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah

You are your best company
Until you sit by yourself
Call up your best friends and acquaintances
Can't cure dropped lover's emotional health
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with

It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, two men on the side, oh yeah

It's not losing you
It's just feeling lost

It wasn't like movies
In movies they work it out
Laughing at those hearts broken open
You walked in, you threw me out
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with

It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, two men on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide
