Came across this music vid earlier today while listening to my 80s music videos on dvd (I did this, but now you can do it on youtube if you find the right youtube playlist).
Love how they slurred that word sorry (zoirry!). This song is so 80′s blueprint (synth, redeeming yet upbeat catchy, full of sassy 80′s women in leather style and British hunks featured in glamour shots, and most importantly it takes me back to a time of 80s-a-plenty (like a strong smell recollecting an exact moment) [maybe takes me to 90s too when the radio stations played them in cycle]) — it’s so 80′s blueprint that it was featured in the end credits of Napoleon Dynamite. I think in the future I might just post some favorite tunes from the 80′s as blogposts with their lyrics quoted below.
Lyrics to follow along: When In Rome – The Promise
If you need a friend,
don’t look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I’ll always be there.And when you’re in doubt,
and when you’re in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I’ll be there.I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I’m gonna always be there.Sometimes if I shout,
it’s not what’s intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you…I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa …
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you…I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I have to walk the world to make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will …
I will…
I will…
I will…
