Emphasis is on the old part.
Damn my memory is shot.
Any guesses?
No?
I've had this song in my head, on the tip of my tongue for months now.
No kidding.
All I could remember was vaguely the tune, the lyrics We are old. We are young. We are in this together. I knew there was definitely something to do with vagabonds and that the band's name had something to do with military and that there was a violinist in the band. I even remember that I saw the band at the 40 Watt-- I think my freshman year--so 1990.
It has been driving me crazy. I think about it on almost every run. Totally maddening and until this afternoon I have not been able to figure it out.
Can anyone else guess the song and the band before I tell you in the following post?
My bets are on that Anne will definitely know if she is reading. Kevin will most definitely if he ever reads here as I know I saw this band with him. Maybe Jason too. I bet Steph or Doug knows. Steph just cause she has a better memory of those UGA days than about anyone else I know and I am thinking her roommate Yvonne went with us to the show.
No peaking!
I'm fairly certain that I didn't make it to that concert. All I could come up with was Pat Benetar. We are YOUNG! Heartache to Heartache we stand!
ReplyDeleteYes, carpool for the Turkey race sounds good. Do you want to drop your car here and ride with us to marta? I suspect we might be doing marta - must ask driver.
Your training is awesome. You kick ass - that Silver Comet is toast!
Pat Benetar, lol. No.
ReplyDeleteDriving to the start isn't bad for this race--at least it hasn't been in the past. I don't think I have ever taken Marta. I've either been dropped or Jim drove. I should warn you that it is quite a walk to Marta after the race. Not a big deal if you are use to doing more than 13 but it can be pretty miserable if the weather is bad.
VAGABONDS
ReplyDelete(Sullivan) 1987
We follow the taillights out of the city
Moving in a river of red
As the colours fade away from the dusky sunset
We roll for the darkness ahead
Ch: We are old, we are young, we are in this together
Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder
Kicking out behind us again
Night-time City Beat the radio is calling
The lost and lonely in vain
Out here we are running for the wide open spaces
The road-smell after the rain
Ch: We are old, we are young, we are in this together
Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder
Kicking out behind us again
And watching as a boy alone at the quayside
The ships loading cargo in the night
Their names all calling to faraway places
The years go past, the miles go by
And still this childhood romance will not die
Dianna wins!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it New Model Army? This is what is in my head, because it sounds familiar and I know Kev loved them. I had one of their albums - wanna say that the song I really liked was like something about "green and gold" - maybe a song about leaving Ireland for the states? Like you said, Steph has the memory, not me. Now i am going to have to go google it.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell are the Vagabonds? Now I am really thinking I am crazy.
ReplyDeletewahoooooo! thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteI was searching for this song for the last 12 years after I heard it during my first night at a disco in Vienna.
What a day :-)
