[kj] Killing Joke's 1979 song "You're Being Followed"

[Neil Perry]

I wish! (about the coke, that is...) And yes, the closest I'll ever be to
big clouds
of white stuff is the snow that is also swirling outside my window right now
(but
its a bit more common here)

OK, my two cents' worth - my ideal set list (of songs we are unlikely to
hear):

Dominator
Chop Chop
Blue Feather
Europe
Sun Goes Down
Darkness Before Dawn
Chessboards
Goodbye To The Village
Empire Song
Harlequin
Rejuvenation
Wilful Days
North of the Border
Invocation
Judas Goat
Nervous System

Oh and go on, a few new ones then...

>> Yes, there's a group of songs that fall into the "1st-ep" style that

>> didn't make it onto vinyl:

>>

>> Nuclear Boy

>> Malicious Boogie

>> Animal

>> You're Being Followed

>>

>> If you add those to the 4 tracks on the first ep, they could have done an

>>

>> But the real "missing" KJ album is from 1984.

>>

>> Eighties

>> New Day

>> All Play Rebel

>> New Culture

>> Blue Feather

>> Me Or You

>>

>> I wonder what else they wrote then that never saw the light of day?

>> I think "You're Being Followed" actually shows a lot of promise. "You're
