Blood and Chocolate Survivor - Round 5
Tokyo Storm Warning is out. This is probably the most disappointed and surprised I've been at the results for a Survivor poll. This has always been a top two song for me. The way it describes a dystopian reality with irony and wit along with its Revolver-esque instrumental has always impressed me. I'm sad to see it go so soon.

One thing this poll has proved what a great album Blood and Chocolate is. Very difficult to pick one to lose. Next Time Round would still be in it if i was picking
Re: Blood and Chocolate Survivor - Round 5
it is interesting how low the 'vote out' percentages are, except for round one.
11th Honey, Are You Straight Or Are You Blind? 27/65 41.5%
10th Poor Napoleon 13/64 20.3%
9th Next Time 'Round 13/69 18.8%
8th Tokyo Storm Warning 15/65 23.1%
The last three are very narrow 'victories'. One out of five votes, more or less.

Re: Blood and Chocolate Survivor - Round 5
Nobody sadder than me to see such a classic discarded so early. Even knowing the mix of tastes on this board I would have expected it to be at least in the last 4 with Uncomplicated, I Hope You're Happy Now and I Want You.

Re: Blood and Chocolate Survivor - Round 5
It is a fantastic song. Some of the lyrics are astoundingly pictorial. The 'Disney abbatoir' can only be Mickey Mouse, Donald and Pluto chopped into bits. Waaaaaaaht? The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm Sorrento sunrise is so beautifully scanned. 'They say gold paint on the palace gates come from the teeth of pensioners... mention us' is a classic rhyme.
