Captain Sensible - WOT 12" (1982)

Captain Sensible (born Raymond Burns, 23 April 1955) is a singer, songwriter, guitarist (and sometimes bassist) who grew up in Croydon, England, and co-founded the punk rock band The Damned in 1976. After leaving the band, he reinvented himself as an alternative pop singer with a rebellious, self-conscious image. His signature headwear is a red beret.

Originally a member of the Johnny Moped band, Sensible joined The Damned in 1976 on the suggestion of his work colleague Rat Scabies, the band's drummer, filling a number of positions during his tenure (including bassist, lead guitarist and keyboardist), and eventually becoming the band's main songwriter following the departure of Brian James. He left in the 1980s to concentrate on solo projects, but rejoined in 1996 after Scabies left, and co-wrote Grave Disorder, the band's first new studio album for 8 years, in 2001. He continues to tour with the band today and they released their latest album So, Who's Paranoid? on 17 November 2008.

Propaganda - Present The Nine Lives of Dr. Mabuse (1984)

The third ZTT release, Propaganda Present the Nine Lives of Dr. Mabuse by the Dusseldorf group Propaganda, represented the next stage in this master plan of raiding the (early, European) twentieth century. "The children of Fritz Lang and Giorgio Moroder" is how NME's Chris Bohn tagged Propaganda. Inspired by Lang's expressionist trilogy of movies about a shadowy master criminal, "Dr. Mabuse" was epic Eurodisco, for which Horn and engineer Steve Lipson constructed a monumental edifice of arching synths and percussion as imposing as marble colonnades.

Propaganda's conceptualist, Ralf Dorper, justified this "very bombastic sound" to ZigZag. "The character Mabuse was symbolizing something extraordinary, something more or less unreal, so we had to have an unreal production." Formerly in metal-bashing pioneers Die Krupps, Dorper was a fanatic cinephile who preferred movies to music. "Cinema is much more inspirational to me," he declared. "It's much more multi-leveled: you have to have a storyline, a setting, a soundtrack."

Wenn wir entweder ob wir es so d’rauf lassen
Oder ob wir direkt mit dem Stück
Bis reinkommt... mit dem ersten Takt anfangen

Or shall we directly with the track…
Until it comes in… Start with the first beat]

Before you start you already bleed
Before you start you already bleed
Before you start...

April Showers - Abandon Ship (1984) + Lyrics

April Showers were a short-lived Glaswegian pop duo comprised of Jonathan Bernstein and Beatrice Colin. Releasing their only known single “Abandon Ship” on Big Star, a subsidiary of Chrysalis, in 1984 it quickly gained a cult following due to it’s sparkling production from Anne Dudley (Art of Noise) and string-heavy arrangements. This quality was echoed on B-side “Everytime We Say Goodbye” with the 12-inch featuring an instrumental of Abandon Ship. - Tunesbag

At the time Abandon Ship was released, she was the girlfriend of James Grant who was then part of Friends Again and later the lead in the acclaimed Love & Money - thevinylvillain

Beatrice Colin is also a novelist who also writes for radio. Her novel, The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite (John Murray), has been published in the UK in July 2008 and in the US as The Glimmer Palace (Riverhead).

Beatrice was born in London and moved to Scotland as a child. After graduating from the University of Glasgow, she worked as a journalist for the arts and features pages of publications including The Scotsman, Sunday Herald and The Guardian. Her first novel, Nude Untitled, (Toby Press, 2000) was short-listed for a Saltire Award. Her second, Disappearing Act (Toby Press, 2001) was published in the US. She has written six plays and dramatised three novels for BBC Radio 4, and her short stories have been broadcast and published in anthologies and literary magazines such as Ontario Review and The London Magazine.

She has taught creative writing for Strathclyde University’s English Studies Dept and for Glasgow University’s Department of Adult and Continuing Education, and completed her doctorate in 2008. She currently works at Strathclyde University as a Royal Literary Fund Fellow. She lives in Glasgow with her two children.

ABANDON SHIP

Midnight bells are ringing now,

Another year dissolves,

While everybody's hand in hand and singing now,

I don't feel too involved.

Clinging to my seat as others,

Laugh all long and loud,

Oh would you send me someone somewhere,

Who can help me escape from the crowd?

Abandon Ship,

Before my troubles,

Starts to rise above me,

Abandon Ship,

Why don't you come on in?

The water's lovely.

Take my hand and dance with me,

And please don't say a word,

All you have to do is take a chance with me,

I don't know if you've heard?

I might not be here tomorrow,

Might you surely plead,

So why not spend the time that isn't ours to borrow,

And before you speak.

Abandon Ship,

Before my troubles,

Starts to rise above me,

Abandon Ship,

Why don't you come on in?

The water's lovely.

Follow me I know a place where we could be,

All alone for a million years.

We could be,

It only take with destiny,

Close the door,

Make sure that no one hears.

Then one year and out the other,

We're running all our rest,

While everyone around me seems to run for cover,

I can't get out of bed.

Meet me here,

This time next year,

We must do this again,

While everybody else,

Is drowning in their tears,

I still remember when.

Abandon Ship,

Before my troubles,

Starts to rise above me,

Abandon Ship,

Why don't you come on in?

The water's lovely.

Abandon Ship,

Before my troubles,

Starts to rise above me,

Abandon Ship,

Why don't you come on in?

The water's lovely.

Thank You Just A Girl (New Version)

..From Across the Kitchen Table

In a cheap hotel room, the miraculous way you bucked up
When I said you were incredibly beautiful
Remember Arthur Seaton said he won't be beaten
Look at Jimmy Price, what with the weight of Christ
I don't know when they say maybe it's the water across the kitchen table
And I don't know when they say maybe it's the water, yeah.
You saved my life, I fought you
You should have told me to stop
Oh, why did you let me keep on going for you ?
You saved my life, I fought you
You should have told me to stop
Oh, why did you let me keep on going for you ?
I've seen all your hooks, read the important books
And thought about the disabled
But the only thing between you and me
Is the fact you laugh when I'm unstable
Well, I don't know when they say maybe it's the water across the kitchen table
And I don't know when they say maybe it's the water, yeah.
You saved my life, I fought you
You should have told me to stop
Oh, why did you let me keep on going for you ?
In a cheap hotel room, the miraculous way you bucked up
When I said you were incredibly beautiful
Remember Arthur Seaton said he won't be beaten
Look at Jimmy Price, what with the weight of Christ
I don't know when they say maybe it's the water across the kitchen table
And I don't know when they say maybe it's the water, yeah.
Yeah, you saved my life, I fought you
You should have told me to stop
Oh, why did you let me keep on going for you ?
You saved my life, I fought you
You should have told me to stop
Oh, why did you let me keep on going for you ?
You saved my life and I told you to stop, stop, to stop, stop, stop ....
