1982 Sing with me: Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow...

...You're only a day away...

1982. The soundtrack - Annie

Annie had a great impact on me. I used to dress up like her, sing and dance along with the music. Very inspireing..! I love her character and who doesn't want a daddy 'Warbucks'. Years later I realized what the meaning of Warbucks is, if you read it like War bucks.. But at the end, daddy did a good thing to..

1981 * The year of my first saved for self bought 7" single

1981. Kids in America - Kim Wilde

Written by Ricky & Marty wilde

Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the
City go rushing byI sit here alone
And I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can fell the heat
But it's shooting
Heading downI search for the beat in this dirty town
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing

We're the kids in america
We're the kids in america

Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

We're the kids in america
We're the kids in america


Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don?t want to go baby
New york to east california
There?s a new wave coming I warn you

We?re the kids in america
We?re the kids in america


We?re the kids
We?re the kids
We?re the kids in america

1980.

* Kate Bush - Babooshka

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn?t have made a worse move

She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter

All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out, i'm

All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka-ya-ya!

1979. Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind and Fire

Dance, boogie wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get

Daylight deals a bad man to a woman
Who had laid too many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says
Baby uh uh it don't work

You say your prayers though you don't care
You dance and you shake the hurt

Dance, boogie wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

Sounds fly through the night
I change my vinyl dreams
To boogie wonderland

I find romance
When I start to dance
In boogie wonderland

I find romance
When I start to dance
n boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong

All the records are playing
And my heart keep sayin'
Boogie wonderland, wonderland

Dance, boogie wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

I find romance
When I start to dance
In boogie wonderland

I find romance
When I start to dance
In boogie wonderland

Dance, boogie wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong

All the records are playing
And my heart keep saying
Boooogie wonderland, wonderland

Dance, boogie wonderland
Dance, boogie wonderland

I find romance
When I start to dance
In boogie wonderland
