No, no, no
No, no, no

Tesla girls, Tesla girls
Testing out theories
Electric chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill, they're killing me
But heaven knows their recipe

No, no, no

You wouldn't believe me if I said
The things I've seen went over my head
I've been patient, heaven knows
I've learned the rules and how it goes
I can't sit still or settle down
And when I walk I don't touch the ground
See those girls, they're heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best

Tesla girls, Tesla girls
Writing in their diaries
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But heaven knows their recipe

No, no, no, what

You wouldn't believe them if they said
The things they've seen went over their heads
They've been patient, heaven knows
They seem to care and so it goes
They can't sit still or settle down
And when they walk they don't touch the ground
See those girls, they're heaven blessed
I guess it's so they know best

Tesla girls
Tesla girls
Tesla girls
Tesla girls

Tesla girls, Tesla girls
Testing out theories
Electric chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill, they're killing me

Tesla girls, Tesla girls
I'm in love with Tesla girls
Now and then they'll watch TV
Now and then they'll speak to me
But heaven knows, but heaven knows, but heaven knows their recipe

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no
No, no

BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds

 BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds This song was inspired by the 1987 Enniskillen bombing, when a bomb planted by the IRA exploded during a Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, killing 11 people and injuring at least 63. Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr explained to Q magazine in 1989: "In the second part of 'Belfast Child' I'm trying to relate to people in Northern Ireland who've also lost loved ones. I'm trying to talk about the madness and sadness and emptiness. I'm not saying I have any pearls of wisdom, but I have a few questions to ask. When I'm asked on American TV who my heroes are, rather than saying Lou Reed or Bob Dylan or someone who goes without saying, I say there are these people called Amnesty International and what they are doing I think is rather heroic. It only takes about 30 seconds."  The music is based on a traditional song alled "She Moved Through The Fair," which Jim Kerr hea...

Feels Like I'm in Love : 80s music hit by Kelly Marie

Feels Like I'm in Love Song by Kelly Marie Ray Dorset, who was the lead vocalist for Mungo Jerry, wrote this for Elvis Presley, who was one of his idols. Unfortunately, Elvis' untimely death ruled this out and the song ended up as the B-side of a Mungo Jerry single released in France. In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Dorset explains: "I wrote Feels Like I'm In Love in 1977 with Elvis Presley in mind and even recorded it Elvis-style on my demo. My producer, Barry Murray, was about to send it to Elvis when he got a phone call saying Elvis had died. After that, I kinda put it to bed for a while. Kelly Marie had a few minor hits in France and had been hanging around our office a bit. I thought she had a good voice, so I asked her if she wanted to record the song." This was originally released 18 months earlier but it failed to chart. It then became a northern club hit before finally topping the UK charts. Kelly Marie was born Jacqueline McK...
