Σταθερά στο Μαρτιάτικο αφιέρωμά μας, ακούμε την εναλλακτική βερσιόν ενός τραγουδιού πιο γνωστού από τις Go-Gos. Δεν πρόκειται για διασκευή: ο Terry Hall, τραγουδιστής των Specials, πριν φτιάξει τους Fun Boy Three, είχε συνθέσει το τραγούδι μαζί με την κιθαρίστρια [των Go-Gos] τους Jane Wiedlin. Ο κομψός βηματισμός των FB3, το αχτύπητο cool του Terry, η ευφορία στεφανωμένη με μελαγχολικές αποχρώσεις, προσφέρουν ένα track ανεκτίμητο – σήμερα όπως τότε.

Steady on our Marchean tribute, we hear an alternative version of a song best known by the Go-Gos. This is not a cover: Terry Hall, The Specials’ lead singer before forming Fun Boy Three, had written the song along with [Go-Gos] guitar player Jane Wiedlin. FB3’s elegant pace, Terry’s impeccable cool, euphoria encompassed by melancholic shades, offer a track priceless today, as it was back then.

Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that’s no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
There’s a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That’s when they’ll disappear
That’s when we’ll be feared
It doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling
Don’t you cry
Quiet angel
Forget their lies
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that’s no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Oh, our lips are sealed
