What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Loved these guys when they were popular for the brief five albums of which this is the third. Would have got a love
if not for the two instrumentals and the very repetitive track, Voices Inside My Head, which might as well have
been an instrumental. Aside from those, five love tracks with Canary In A Coal Mine leading the pack. Recorded in
four weeksin the Netherlands. Those were the days. Heavy reggae influence on most of the tracks. Explanation of the
album title sounds like what Chris Martin said about Coldplays new one. According to Copeland, it means whatever
you want it to mean. It was just something that would roll off of the tongue. What rubbish. The album hit #3 in the
US and #1 in the UK and Australia, receiving a perfect score from allmusic. Singles of Don't Stand So Close To Me
and De Do Do Do both hitting #10 here with the former winning a grammy for Best Rock Performance. Also a Best Rock
Instrumental grammy for Behind My Camel. The Police had arrived. Stings ego had surfaced here as he refused to play
on that Andy Summers penned instrumental because he didn't like it. Poor baby.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Behind My Camel

Best Track - Canary In A Coal Mine

First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine

Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine

First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
