Hi Gis  :)

#4   Our Lips Are Sealed - Go-Gos

???

Are you sure? I know the song very well, and I don't think they say "dragged up from the underworld" anywhere in the song. :-\\ Is there some other version that I'm not aware of or something?

The lyric is in the middle of the song .... goes "dragged up from the underworld, just like a precious pearl" .... or something like that.

#5 white lines - Grandmaster Flash

#14 is by Generation X

I'm with you, Nally, I've never heard those lines before.  I thought in the middle Jane sings "Hush my darling don't you cry.  Quiet angel, forget their lies".

I don't think so. I haven't heard it like that at least on the radio. :-

That's what I always hear too!

Hi both the line definatly is in the song see below.

Artist: The Go-Go's Lyrics
Song: Our Lips Are Sealed Lyrics

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

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed

Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them

Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
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 you'll be feared

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies

Thanks Gis .... I was beginning to think that I was going mad.  :o

Okay, but...


Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them

Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl



Those two stanzas I've never heard. Is it like that on the album recording or something? ;)

I honestly don't know.I'm going by what I know from hearing it in the U.K so I really couldn't say what gets played on the radio in America  ??? sorry  :-[

I'll put karen's mind at rest with the artist to #6.

It was the late Gwen Guthrie

And, if it's at all possible, a worse record than Boris Gardiner's...

#11. 'Seven Tears' - Goombay Dance Band

Well the version that you know Gis is obviously the one that I know too.  Maybe the UK and Australia got a different version  ???

Like I said, the lines I quoted, I've not heard. Chances are that the U.S. just doesn't play 'em. ??? :-[

6. Gwen Guthrie
