The FIXX "The Fool" from 'Shuttered Room' [1982]
The Lyrics:
A sort of place you don't often find
A quiet room to go out of your mind
Will you excuse me whilst I confide
I've found a place where I can hide
Lights out by nine as a rule
One grey blanket and a stool
Angels fear to tread where stands the fool
But the air is warm, and the walls are cool
So I'm kept away, so here I'll stay
Even the judges kneel and pray
I am the winner in any event, SNAP!
Who was the man who said society's bent?
So I'm locked away in my padded cocoon
Square of hell where nightmares bloom
Armageddon couldn't come too soon
But if it only meant that I could leave this room
Here stands the Fool
Here stands the Fool
Here stands the Fool...

Sometimes....I wish I purchased this FIXX album first instead of PHANTOMS and like most of CURNINS WORK they are enjoyable and the record spoke of earlier and WALKABOUT has TAKEN ME on a SPIRITUAL QUEST with THEIR SONGS.....ESPECIALLY CAMPHOR!9 years ago

When the Fixx was at its best, they achieved polished, smooth, muscular groove combined with an ethereal, celestial ambience, topped with great synthesized percussive accents.Depending on one's mood and ability, in such cases, they were beautifully danceable, and yet one could also be still and let the groove wash over the mind and ponder the poetry.And sometimess, lyrically, they would deal with existence and soulful questions that people are trying to cope with."The Fool" is one of their lesser played best and an example.9 years ago

Why does the alienation cut so deep? It is not that "society is bent," I am the one that is bent. I am what is wrong with the world. Professing myself wise, I became The Fool.10 years ago

look beyond all reality, and see and hear in blind darkness a foolish realm and realize that truelly can never be, of one mind, body and spirit, of any individual, upon this earth. 10 years ago

Existential. Meditative. Surreal. Twists and turns. Jagged. Jarring. Starlit. Distant. Radio-Signals and Feedback and Wails fading to the black hole of the zombie apocalypse . . .10 years ago

"They say the Bear and the Eagle are going to talk," the playwright's secret contact offered to cheer him. Vaclav smiled and shook his head. Right.11 years ago

Since he felt optimistic in his cell that morning, he decided to smoke his rapidly dwindling American cigarette pack. He pondered Virginian farmers in the hills surrounding Arlington. A long drag, and a cup of hot Joe from the restricted cafeteria smuggled in by the guard. Is the guard still in the party, he wondered?11 years ago

The Prague playwright paced his jail cell and awaited his messenger. But first his caller checked to make sure the local KGB agents were in the donut shop. They were never the same after that spring massacre. The blood, the malignancy. They were living the Marxist utopia, or should I say, nightmare.11 years ago

Oh! I didn't know New Order did a version. I might know it to hear it, but, the only Blue Monday I know of is the Fats Domino version which Dave Edmunds covered about 20 years later. Yeah, mine keeps growing back, though. Got it popped in June `82, again in Aug. `83 and again in Sept. `91. NEXT!!11 years ago

"Blue Monday" - from New Order. Ha you got your cherry popped too huh...must've been the decade for it me wonders... From Wikipedia: "Blue Monday" is a single released in 1983 by British band New Order, and later remixed in 1988 and 1995. The song has been widely remixed and covered since its original release, and became a popular anthem in the dance club scene.11 years ago

I know!! Dig: I live in a slightly rich neighborhood where the kids go to a high class kind of school filled with snobs that think they're smarter and better than anyone else, but they can't spell for shit!! They use "are" instead of "our", "then" instead of "than" and vice versa, and, of course, thanks to sue-happy parents, teachers are NOT allowed to reprimand the students anymore for not paying attention in class!! I guess they'd much rather have stupid kids!!11 years ago

I'm pretty sure that's part of their goal!!11 years ago

Blue Monday? Fats Domino or Dave Edmunds version? In the `80's, I met some really great people, joined my first band, created LOTS of great new music, listened to tons more, recorded our first album and started my first solo album, nearly became famous, got my cherry popped, met The Fixx and a few others, expanded my record collection by a few thousand pieces, rediscoverd psychedelic music, eventually shaved my head, but only to prove a point, and FINALLY got a job working in a record store!!11 years ago
