Maria - Blondie, 1999
She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air Ooh, it makes you wanna cry She doesn't know your name And your heart beats like a subway train Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Ooh, don't ya wanna take her Wanna make her all your own Maria you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind Regina Ave Maria A million and one candle lights I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door Fool for love and fool of fire Won't come in from the rain Sees oceans running down the drain Blue as ice and desire Don't ya wanna make her
Ooh, don't ya wanna take her home Maria You've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind Regina Ave Maria A million and one candle lights Ooh, don't ya wanna break her
Ooh, don't ya wanna take her home She walks like she don't care
Walking on imported air Ooh, it makes you wanna die Maria you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind Regina Ave Maria A million and one candle lights (x3) |
The band Blondie was a favourite of mine back in my university days. They were a perfect mixture of Dance, Rock, Punk and New Wave sounds, and even flirted with Rap. (I will have to go into more depth when I post one of their earlier songs) After impressive commercial and critical success, the band took a break between 1982 and 1999, when they released No Exit. The hit song from this comeback album was Maria; a hit at number one in the UK that recaptured some their glory from the late '70s.
BTW - don't refer to lead singer Deborah Harry as "Blondie". That is the band's the name, and it was derived from a passing truck driver's comment back in 1975. Her accelerated fame from her looks and stage presence actually caused friction within the band. Fans assumed that she was Blondie, and the rest were her back-up players...
