Flesh For Lulu - Long Live The New Flesh - 1987



British band formed in 1982. Dropped by their label after the debut failed to make any waves. Didn't take long to find a new home, but with the same fate. Picked up by a major for this third attempt, and abandoning the U.K. for a U.S. audience, they made some headway. With 3 singles off of here, they got some play on college radio. Siamese Twist, Postcards From Paradise and I Go Crazy made dents in the Modern Rock charts. With one album remaining, the group was then dropped again, and disbanded shortly after.

I like this album.

Favorite Track - Postcards From Paradise

Got a postcard from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
"X" marks the spot where you lay
And the sun burned down on the sand
I sat and watched you sleeping
I can feel you breathing
I wondered if you were dreaming
If you're dreaming
What are you dreaming of

I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
Wind down your window
I think I'm going to kiss you
I don't know what else to do
You send me postcards from paradise
Say "I want you"
Send me postcards from paradise
Yeah you do

My car broke down in the rain,
I just can't get started again
I want you
I want you to stay

A postcard from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
"X" marks the spot where you lay
And the sun burns down on the sand

There goes love again
Seven day wondering
Out on the ledge again
You're ready to jump again
Here comes temptation
Dragging it out again
I'm riding a bullet train
To your supersonic station

I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
Wind down your window
Think I'm gonna kiss you
I don't know what else to do
You send me postcards from paradise
Say "I want you"
Send me postcards from paradise
Yeah you do
