Recorded live at the Louisville Gardens, April, 1984. Today's Icons opening for Culture Club in front of 8500 screaming kids probably attending their first concert. TB remembers: "It was scary, exhilarating, a blast. They thought we were the Beatles. For the first two songs. Then we realized we were playing in front of a giant Culture Club curtain and they thought Boy George was about to walk out......
Lyrics
SWEET MARY KAY
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)
Sweet Mary Kay,
why don’t you leave them cold and go the hell away?
You’re dirt beneath their heavy heels
and too young to know how that feels.
Sweet Mary Kay,
why don’t you leave them cold and get the hell away?
Get wise, this game’s been growing past the fun.
It’s time for you, it’s time for you,
to realize you’re one
and rise above the scum
and get away,
Sweet Mary Kay.
Sweet Mary Kay,
why don’t you leave them cold and go the hell away?
It will eat your mind until your love is numb
and you find yourself alone.
Oh, beautiful child it’s past your time to go.
Sweet Mary Kay.
