There have been so many RIP's lately...I almost feel like this is turning into an obituary blog. Oh well, what can I do? One of the reasons I ever started this thing was to document stuff like that for my own, um...pleasure would be the wrong word, but you know what I mean.
Anyway, as my friend Martin mentioned, today is the 30th anniversary of the death of our beloved Ruts lead singer, Malcolm Owen. Here's looking at you, kid.
The Damned song "The Limit Club"
ReplyDeletewas written in tribute to Malcolm Owen:
I had a dream oh was it true
I saw the sun set low on you
In a blood-red suns final rays
With after night solo shadow plays
Into the world we started to run
Like bullets from a gun
With passion and desire
Like two burning balls of fire
And there is surely nothing else
The gods have gotta keep on laughing
Laughing
Laughing
If fools wanna dance let the music play
So much unsung so much so say
Like velvet claws the night unfolds
Its secret bare its story told
I had a friend heaven and hell
His life was short he lived it well
The limits here the time is now
I'd like to lead you better how
And there is surely nothing else
The gods have gotta keep on laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
Laughing
And I don't want no feeling blue
Cos I been loving too
And I don't want no feeling blue
Cos I been loving too
And so could you
I didn't know that...thank you!
