Coast is Clear :: Curve

I was on a mission to find this song! I remember this blaring through the wall of my older brother's room when I was a kid. I think I even had an old hand-me-down cassette with this song on it, but today I couldn't remember what it was called.

So. Curve. So Beautiful. I always loved the singer (Toni Halliday). She's so plaintive and mesmerizing. Enjoy.

P.S. I also love how this clip is from MTV's "120 Minutes." People who had cable used to tape it and then pass the tapes all over school. I remember it being so cool! To catch some Cure or They Might Be Giants and get a whiff of that other world out there, somewhere...

Above my bed in this ugly room
Hangs the whisper of the sandman
You can be my father, for the love you show
It's just a little too late
It's never enough to swallow those pills
Now I'm sick, and always will be

Take it, I don't want it, you can have what you like
Just don't try and trick me to sleep
Then turn out those lights

You can be my father, for the love you show
It's just a little too late
It's never enough to swallow those pills
Now I'm sick, and always will be

Dreams of meeting truth (be my father)
Dreams of meeting truth (for the love)

I said you can be my father for the love you show
It's just a little too late
It's never enough to swallow those pills
Now I'm sick, now I'm sick, now I'm sick

Just when you thought it was alright [x2 ]
