Nochmals die Buzzcocks, yeah, Power-Punk-Pop. In these times of contention, it's not my intention to make things plain / I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine / I'm losing control now, I'll just have to slow down a thought or two / I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past / I believe in the worker's revolution / And I believe in the final solution / I believe in, I believe in / I believe in the shape of things to come / And I believe, I'm not the only one / Yes, I believe in, I believe in. Bevor sich die Buzzcocks 1981 vorerst auflösten, erschienen 1980 noch die 4 Singles "Running Free / What Do You Know?", "Strange Thing / Airwaves Dream", "Are Everything / Why She’s A Girl From The Chainstore" und "I Believe / Something’s Gone Wrong Again". When I poison my system, I take thoughts and twist them into shapes / I'm reachin' my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do / I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colors that fill you in / I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going, if to end or begin / I believe in the immaculate conception / And I believe in the resurrection / And I believe in, I believe in / I believe in the elixir of youth / And I believe in the absolute truth / Yes I believe in, I believe in / There is no love in this world anymore / There is no love in this world anymore. Die Band bestand 1980 aus Pete Shelley (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards), Steve Diggle (Guitar, Vocals), Steve Garvey (Bass) und John Maher (Drums). Anfang der 90er Jahre kehrte die Band in der Besetzung Pete Shelley, Steve Diggle, Tony Barber (Bass) und Philip Parker (Drums) wieder in die Popwelt zurück. Ja, und es gibt sie auch 2020 noch mit Steve Diggle (Vocals, Guitar), Chris Remington (Bass) und Danny Farant (Drums). Pete Shelley starb 2018 im Alter von 63 Jahren an einem Herzinfarkt. I've fallen from favor while tryin' to savor experience / I'm seein' things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind / It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time / Everything is and that is why, it is will be the line / I believe in perpetual motion / And I believe in perfect devotion / I believe in, I believe in / I believe in the things I've never had / And I believe in my mum and my dad / And I believe in, I believe in / There is no love in this world anymore / There is no love in this world anymore. Steve Diggle wurde 2020 fünfundsechzig Jahre alt, er ist Jahrgang 1955, also ein Jahr älter als ich. Wow! Der größte Hit der Buzzcocks war "Even Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)" 1978, "I Believe" schaffte es nicht in die Charts. I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end / Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view / My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast / The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling, I just want them to last / I believe in original sin / And I believe what I believe in / Yes I believe in, I believe in / I believe in the web of fate / And I believe, I'm goin' to be late / So I'll be leavin', what I believe in / There is no love in this world anymore / There is no love in this world anymore / There is no love in this world anymore. Der Song "I Believe" ist auf der 2004 bei EMI Records erschienenen 3-CD-Box "The Complete Singles Anthology" zu finden. Disc 1 beginnt mit "Breakdown" 1977 und endet mit "I Believe" 1979, Disc 2 startet mit "Are Everything" 1980 und endet mit "Prison Riot Hostage (Excerpt From)" 1994 und auf Disc 3 gehts mit "Totally From The Heart" 1996 los und am Schluss gibts ein Interview von Alan Parker mit Steve Diggle und Tony Barber aus dem Jahr 2004. Great! Habe noch einen Song aus dem Jahr 1966 entdeckt, den man sich auch unbedingt anhören sollte, "Feelings" von The Unlimited. Garage Pop, yeah. The Unlimited waren laut garagehangover.com ident mit der Band Royal Flairs, die aus Bobby Williams alias Bob Everhart (Vocals), Dave Krivolavek (Guitar), Mel Matthews (Guitar, Organ), Dave Brubeck (Bass) und Mike Donion (Drums) bestand. Als Royal Flairs haben sie 3 Singles veröffentlicht und als The Unlimited eine Single.
