Escapes and Addictions

(the Play-fool play-list of the day: 2011/11/19)

The Beatles may not have a car but they've found a driver and that's a start. He left her and Anita Harris stares at Trains And Boats And Planes hoping they'll bring him back. The Smithereens feel like they're riding on a Downbound Train. 10000 Maniacs see out of the edge of darkness a Peace Train. Tom Waits wonders will he see her tonight on a Downtown Train? Harry Belafonte stacks bananas on the Banana Boat Song. Joss Stone feels like Jet Lag without leaving the ground. Gerry and the Pacemakers call the Ferry (to) Cross The Mersey, and the Nits dance a nostalgic waltz around waving Adieu Sweet Bahnhof. Ella Fitzgerald longs for a Savoy Truffle. Roy Orbison wants to be our own Candy Man. The Strawberry Alarm Clock light some Incense And Peppermints, to mask a Lebanese blonde brought by the Thievery Corporation. We can drink some Mexican Wine from the Fountains of Wayne, or Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood. Ron Sexsmith pours a Brandy Alexander which always gets him into trouble. The Cardigans Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer.
