Seems a bit off. / 2
I picked up this album at a Wherehouse Records that was closing down for a few cents, and feel kind of bad about picking it up at all. It gave me a kind of bad impression about Bad Manners, that they were just a band that covered a bunch of songs in a ska-like feel. And it had a drum machine. That drum machine really pissed me off.I may have needed to give this album more of a chance than three listens, but I'm sticking by my two stars after hearing other stuff by Bad Manners. This album just isn't quite representative of all else I've heard by the band, and maybe they are "EXPERIMENTING," but in my opinion, this is not in a good way. If it's a first album you are in search of, check out others, homey. This one made me sad.
Song "Lorraine"
For the first time in my life, I was so in love,
(Ha, ha, ha, ha) - Why you laughing at me??
I met this girl called Lorraine, she stole, my heart.
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
She was so in love with me, we were gonna get wed,
So I bought her lots of things, diamond ring, brand new bed,
(A brand new bed?) - Yes a brand new bed!
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
And when I find her, I'm gonna kill her,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
For the first time in my life, I was wrong,
Lorraine she was a flipping con,
Lorraine she took everything,
Even my brand new engagement ring,
She took the car and went to town,
But now she can no longer be found.
Lorraine punched me on the nose, so I slapped her round the head,
Then we talked the whole thing out, and went straight to bed,
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
But now I've found her, don't want to kill her,
But now I've found her, don't want to kill her,
But now I've found her, don't want to kill her,
But now I've found her, don't want to kill her,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine,
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
