Skunkworks memorial thread

[tcall]

In memory of my sadly deceased Skunkworks cassette, I believe a thread in memory of this excellent album is required.
Please feel free to vote for your favourite Skunkworks track, and maybe even leave a little message in this book of condolences

So many fantastic tracks to chose from, but I have of course voted for the wonderful 'Octavia'.
I used to love driving along while listening to this one

HÖÖÖ???

Yes, it was the original. Purchased from HMV on the day of release
Tears were rolling down my face as I pulled about 6 feet of twisted black cassette tape out of the stereo. And then, finally.... SNAP

I have most of the tracks on mp3, so all is not lost

oh come on, there must be some trash dump pit, where you might find a new skunkworks tape.....

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE YOU MY FRIEND WHEN I BELONGED
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE YOU MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEND WHEN I WAS STRONG
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE YOU MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FRIEND WHEN I WAS WEAK
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE YOU MY FRIEND WHEN I WAS CALLING, CRAWLING, OUT OF MY HEAD



not sure about the lyrics though, damn that stupid Bruce for the mirrored booklet And Bruce is chewing the words there anyway

Aren't those the lyrics from 'Meltdown' Ivi?

Here are the Skunkworks lyrics

 

[Evilho]

of course Timmyboy, but why do you say that?

phyre, I swear I was reading the lyrics in the mirror when I bought the CD

 

[tcall]

oh cleverly edited, ya great big phoney!!

 

[Evilho]

I edited because of typo or what the hell you call that

 

[tcall]

Yeah.... You accidently spelt 'Meltdown' using the letters 'F A I T H'

 

[Evilho]

Exactly

And my hand is shaking that's why i voted for Faith too

Btw what does phoney mean?

 

[tcall]

hehehe.... Yeah. That's Ivi alright!!

 

[Evilho]

that's from a guy who goes to women's toilets in public places!

 

[tcall]

I didn't 'USE' it........ I just popped my head round the door!!

 

[Eclipse]

how could he possiblly use a women's toilet? He never saw anything like it before.

 

[Evilho]

don't blame him; he wants to grab every chance to finally see a woman naked

Dreamstate for me... although it's such a good album it's hard to choose. R.I.P. Timmy's tape.

 

[IRoN]

I went for Dreamstate, although Headswitch and Inertia were veeeerry close.
