Warm leatherette melts
On your burning flesh
You can see your reflection
In the luminescent dash

A tear of petrol is in your eye
The hand brake penetrates your thigh
Quick lets make love before you die

      Δεν το είχα υπόψη μου. Πλάκα έχει, ιδίως λόγω της “χαριτωμένης αδεξιότητας” που το χαρακτηρίζει.

    I prefer the Grace Jones version. I don’t know why.

      I don’t think there is a “why” that can be known. And even if I tried to explain why I prefer the Normal version, the explanation would ultimately boil down to a simple “I like it”.

    I thought she was unique, an artist as a performer, but I was only so/so about her music. Definitely a memorable personality.

      I agree. Never a fun of “miss Grace Jones” – memorable indeed, but not in the best sense of the term possible! 😜

    I think that’s the first Grace Jones song I’ve ever heard. It’s more than enough! Not a fan of her music, creativity – and certainly not of her personality!

      Same here. Never liked the creature, never bought a single album.
