morning,
mate of mine has a song going round their head, they now a little of the lyrics, but not the group or song name.

here's what they remember, which I'm told is the chorus:

"Tomorrow we can travel round this town,
Lets the cops chase us around
.........................................
Hey Jessie's girl (or maybe Hey jealousy)


anyone got any ideas?

 

The Song is 'Hey Jealousy' by the Gin Blossoms.

Other lyrics from the song....

"Do you think it'll be alright
If I could just crash here tonight"

Hope this helps
Andy

not 'arf mate, alright pop pickers. its "fluff" tang here.......

 

I think the song was a hit around 1992-93. Correctly identified by fluff Tang as Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms

Full version:

Tell me, do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Hey Jealousy...Hey Jealousy...
Hey Jealousy...Hey Jealousy...

And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

'Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place

Andy,
thanks a million! have emailed my mate with the info.

how on earth did you know this? if you used some net based resources I'd love to know what they were.

or was it just using the grey matter?

cheers

 

Markus,

You know those pop lyric quizes that get emailed around...

Well I got a 90's one with loads of indies tracks on it, and I got most of them, but there was one line that annoyed me, I knew the song, I knew I had it on CD (but couldn't find it), and the lyric was

"do you think it'll be alright, if I just crash here tonight"

I couldn't get it, and I could sing the song, to just before the chorus!!

Anyway in a pub, nearly a year later I hear the song, and harrass the barmaid to tell me who it was, and so it will be one of those songs, I'll always know!!

Cheers
Andy

PS - Next challenge, who can find it on MP3 on the net???

 

I've got it on a CD in the car. One of the TOTP or monsters of rock compilations. I would tell you which one, but it is raining and I can't be arsed

 

LOL Fluff Tang. Better than being bum fluff.

P.
