Ted's Song of the Week - 04/13/05

Black and White Town
The Doves
Some Cities

The Manchester trio known as the Doves have done it again with a style all their own. "Black and White Town" has the catchiness of a favorite jingle and the intensity of a jackhammer as it bangs its way into your head. I especially enjoy the duality of piano and drums in this tune. This looks to be the Doves' finest work, so add it to your library ASAP.

Lyrics:

Here comes the action
Here it comes at last
Lord give me a reaction
Lord give me a chance
You should follow me down
In satellite town
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet under ground
Gotta get out this black and white town

Here comes some action
Put sound in my life
Gotta get out to get compensation
Gotta get out to get this to play

Well, leave me alone
Boy, you try to find your way in this world
You better make sure you don't
Crack your head on that pavement now
My god this is sick
It's been plaguing me now
This is a dangerous place now
This is a dangerous place

You should follow me down
In satellite town
There's no colour and no sound
I'll be ten feet under ground
This black and white town
