Blister In The Sun

I became a fan of Alternative Rock music back in the early 80's. When I first heard the song 'Blister in the sun', it had the right kind of quirky sound that almost made it sound like a punk pop song.

This song debuted in 1982, but was re-released in 1997 to coincide with the movie 'Grosse Point Blank'.

If you have never heard of this song, then you should definitely check it out by watching the video.

The lyrics are kind of funny and strange, but that's what makes it such a cool song to listen to.

The lyrics:

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one.

Body and beats,
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend, she's at the end,
She is starting to cry.

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one.

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

Body and beats,
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend, she's at the end,
She is starting to cry.

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out.

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one.

And now for the video:

Run Runaway

Slade was a popular rock band, which sounded like an Irish rock band. The band originated from West Midlands, United Kingdom.

The song Run Runaway sounded cool because of the way that the song made you feel like dancing around the living room with your kids (guilty) LOL

These are the lyrics, just in case you would like to sing along with the video:

I like black and white (dreaming of black and white)
You like black and white
Run run away

[chorus]
See chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away

If you're in the swing (money ain't everything)
If you're in the swing
Run run away

If you gotta crush (don't beat about the bush)
When I gotta crush
Run run away


Oh now can't you wait (love don't come on a plate)
Oh now can't you wait
Run run away

See there chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away

Run run away
Run run away
Run run away
