Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk af Sparkle In The Rain frá 1984
Hér kemur lag af 6. LP plötu SM. Heyrði þetta lag fyrst í þætti Skúla Helgasonar (og hins sem ég man ekki hvað heitir) árið 1984 og var svo lánsamur að taka það upp á gamla Sanyo tækið mitt. Waterfront er kannski þekktasta lagið af plötunni en mér þykir þetta lag vera besta lagið með þessari ágætu sveit.
Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
And Dollars to Deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven
And up on the catwalk, there's one hundred million
With letters from thousands that say ``Just who are you?''
There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
And I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Up on the catwalk there's street politicians
That crawl in from Broadway, say then who are you
And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards
From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton And look around, to see just what is missing
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother And dream of their boyfriends
And I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby
You float through the night time, like manna from heaven
But what, what do I know, and just what do I know
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens
And I don't know why and I don't know why
I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
Angel Angel Angel Angel
Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like Deodata, Michaelangelo, Robert de Niro, so many others
Natasia Kinski and Martin Luther - there's room for others, away from me
Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don't know why.

Þátturinn hét örugglega Rokkrásin. Svo var annar þáttur í gangi með þeim félögum sem hét Nýræktin. Birti mynd af dagskránni með tilnefningunni. Vona að KOH sé sáttur við það.
Það eru einhver álög á Kjartani greyjinu....um leið og hann tilnefnir lag...þá er því hent út af youtube !
Guðjón, já það lítur út fyrir það. Hér er lagið: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQq2hJC_dBw Hörður, Nýræktin gæti verið nafnið á morgunleikfiminni en það kann að vera að ég hafi heyrt þetta fyrst síðar en '84.
