There is no flame

I'm listening to Pete Townshend's "Stop Hurting People," the first on All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.

Love conquers poses.
Love smashes stances
Love crushes angles into black
So you, without question
Know your first love
Is your last
And you, will never - never -
Love again

I always picture myself in the bar car on a train when this playing staring at a women at the end of the bar hoping for an opportunity to light her cigarette and strike up a conversation. Of course, now there are few bar cars and no smoking. Below is a live version which isn't quite as snappy as the studio mix. The Boog always made fun of this song so expect a snarky comment.

May I be matched with you again.

It is clear that he ripped it off. It is a reworking of "White Boy, Black Boy" by Jeffrey Geswapo & the Delemaniacs.

Or anything by Air Supply.
