Thompson Twins songs becoming prophetic...

[cascadiance]

First one I forwarded to Al Franken was "Lies" for his Lies segment...

Then there was what appeared to be good as a basis for a theme song for Howard Dean once he took over the DNC ("Don't Mess with Dr. Dream (Dean)").

Don't Mess With Doctor Dream
Don't Mess With Doctor Dream
Come lay your head down on the stone
So cool and white and welcome home
Oh lose your troubles, ease your pain
Soothe your soul in golden rain
(bridge)
Blue Marble Seas
I will make you feel so good
Roll over me
Blue marble dreams
Like you always knew you would
Roll over me
(chorus)
DON'T MESS WITH DOCTOR DREAM
DON'T MESS WITH DOCTOR DREAM
HE'S NOT ONE FOR SYMPATHY
DON'T MESS WITH DOCTOR DREAM
DON'T MESS WITH DOCTOR DREAM
HE WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
In the hours before the dawn
You curse the day that you were born
Oh those demons scream in ecstasy
And you crawl around in agony
Doctor jeers and fades away
Yeah this is the price that you must pay
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
Don't take that take this!
Take this!
He's not one for sympathy
He will bring you to your knees
Oh lose your troubles, ease your pain
This is the price that you must pay
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Don't take that take this!

Now looking at their old "Judy Do" song, which appears serve as a basis for a good theme song for Judith Miller...

"Standing alone on a stage
star of the show, she's all the rage
It's sad to say they made her pay
they set her up they shot her down,
(chorus)
Yeah, judy laugh, and judy cry
Yeah, judy do, and judy die...yeah
Standing alone, wanting to run
she opens her mouth but no song come
Just one false move is all it takes
she's come too far for small mistakes
(REPEAT CHORUS)
She opened her eyes, looked at her face
she's not the prize in the paper chase
There are so few who really fly
Let's put that bright life in her eyes
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Yeah judy do
(laugh judy cry, laugh judy cry, come on judy laugh yeah hah)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(dance, dance, judy, dance, dance, judy, come on judy dance with me)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(dance with me judy, dance with me judy, come on judy dance, don't die)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(laugh judy cry, laugh judy cry, come on judy laugh yeah hah)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(dance, dance, judy, dance, dance, judy, come on judy dance so high)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(dance with me judy, dance with me judy, come on judy dance so high)
Aw, judy die
Yeah judy do
(dance with me judy, dance with me judy)
Aw, judy die
(dance with me judy, don't cry)"
