Release: June 6, 1988

Lyrics:

When you're alone and life is making you lonely

You can always go - downtown.

When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry

Seems to help I know downtown.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go downtown

Things will be great when you're downtown

No finer place for sure downtown

Everything's waiting for you.

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

There are movie shows downtown.

Maybe you know some little places to go to

Where they never close downtown.

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over

Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go - downtown

Where all the lights are bright downtown

Waiting for you tonight downtown

You're gonna be alright now

Downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to

Guide them along.

Songwriter:

So maybe I'll see you there

We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

So go downtown

Things will be great when you're downtown

Don't wait a minute more downtown

Everything is waiting for you

Downtown

Downtown...

Tony Hatch / James Cauty / Bill Drummond

Let's talk about…

"STAND AND DELIVER"

🌟 "Stand and Deliver" is a song by British new wave band Adam and the Ants, released as the lead single from their third studio album, Prince Charming (1981). It was the band's first No. 1 hit in the UK. The phrase "stand and deliver — your money or your life", used in the lyrics, is commonly associated with highwaymen in 18th century England.

‘Adam already had this idea about a highwayman. He'd gone off in the kitchen to make some tea and by the time he'd come back I'd come up with the “galloping” verse. The verse is the same as the chorus, but there is a little descending bit which he came up with. And then there's the verse and different key for the guitar solo. Adam came up with the “Da diddley qa qa” lyric. He'd had that line knocking about for ages.'

-Marco Pirroni.

Adam picks up the conversation: 'Marco and I wrote the music together and I wrote the lyrics and top line. My inspiration for the song came from the idea of the heroic English antihero highwayman holding up a stagecoach, but stealing people's attention instead of their valuables.'

‘I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.’ Adam explains.

‘A revolution took place in the early 80s. Music suddenly had to look as provocative as it sounded.’

-Adam Ant.

‘We wrote "Stand and Deliver" and Prince Charming at the same time,’ says Pirroni. ‘Before I even picked up the guitar, I knew they were going to be No.1. That wasn’t me being arrogant. In my head it was just a fact.’

🌟 Marco Pirroni recalls going round to Adam’s house in Kensington to write "Stand and Deliver".

🌟 "Stand and Deliver" earned Adam and Marco an Ivor Novello award in 1982. It is published by SONY/ATV Music Publishing and Universal Music Publishing.

Two versions of the same song, with different titles. The first one is new to me but I wish I'd heard it in 1987...

Release: June 29, 1987

Lyrics:

Who needs friends who never show?

I'll tell you what you wanna know

I could have saved a broken heart

If I'd found out long ago

I'm just thinking about those lonely nights

When I waited on your call

'Till found out all my friends were right (Ooh)

I didn't know you at all

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

Now it seems they're telling me

You've changed your wicked ways

But should I give you a second chance?

Baby, I'm too afraid

So you realize what hurt you made

And the love you threw away

How can I forgive or soon forget?

It's never gonna be the same

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

Woo!

I'm just thinking about those lonely nights (I'm just thinking about when I waited)

When I waited on your call

'Till found out all my friends were right ('Till I found out, ooh)

I didn't know you at all

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

Songwriter:

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)

I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)

Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh

The first movie I ever saw on rental VHS (1982 or so). The owls gag still makes me giggle.
