If I could sing.... People

I have to be careful while googling or looking up youtube for this band. It is the New Zealand band Mi-Sex that ran from 1978 to 1985. While they have many many great songs I have chosen this one because. a) it rocks, and b) it is not a love song... I have had a few too many of those recently.

I don't have access to itunes at the moment but it is on there along with their greatest hits album.

But here is a video and after that the lyrics.

Look at all the people in the doorways, people on the street
People in the hallways, people love to meet
People in their feelings are locked in paradise

Look at all the people in the houses, people on the stairs
People and their visions, you'll see them everywhere
Atomic people, they'll all move away
It's mass exodus day today

People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
We're all laughin'

Look at all the people lose their meaning while others stand and stare
They don't move like clockwork, you'll see them in the air
The flying people, they'll express a way
It's mass exodus day today

People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
We're all laughin'

And what will happen to the family when the day comes
When the child no longer owes his existance to two biological parents
Genetic engineering, life can now begin in a test tube
And the idea both fascinates and appeals to me
Carbon copy people, are you a clone? - NO!!

People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
Oh they laugh ha-ha-ha

People, oh yes they're laughing at me now-ow

People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt people cry, people live, people die
People laugh ha-ha-ha, yes they laugh ha-ha-ha
Oh they laugh ha-ha-ha
People walk, people fly, people sing, people sigh
People lose, people try, hurt

The song is your basic, whole lot of seeming nonsensical rhyming couplets that get tied together by a spoken bridge. Not too deep, not light and fluffy either, quite an important question as well really - what will happen to the family?

This one I'd put about three quarters of the way through before we get to the encores.
