Just Like Honey by Jesus and Mary Chain is a wonderful song. I listened to it over and over in the middle of the night last night, with the lights all off and headphones on. Brilliant experience.
And the rest of Jesus and Mary Chain is growing on me, although on first hearing it's a bit too noisy for my taste.
They have some very weird lyrics - like Reverence:
I wanna die just like Jesus Christ
I wanna die on a bed of spikes
I wanna die come see paradise
I wanna die just like Jesus Christ
I wanna die just like JFK
I wanna die on a sunny day
I wanna die just like JFK
I wanna die in the USA
I wanna die (x4)
I wouldn't sell my soul but I'd hang for this
I gotta get my goal cause I'd hang for this
Just Like Honey, however, has very nice lyrics.
"Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world."
It's great 80s music - the drums especially. And the beat in Just Like Honey is just the one at the beginning of Be My Baby from Dirty Dancing (The first one.)
I should've been born a decade earlier =[
Someone get me the Lost in Translation soundtrack!
