REM Crush with Eyeliner

I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman-child
Oh my kiss breath turpentine

I am smitten

I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner

I'm in like.
I'm infatuated.
It's all too much-the pressure.
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? (you faker)
How can I convince her? (Faker)
That I'm invented too, yeah

I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
and, uh, you know me

Yeah, she's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)
What can I make myself be (Fake her)
To make her mine?

I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine,
my crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
You know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
my crush with eyeliner

I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner

[dbonds]

2. Alice Cooper

The one and only.

[jonnyblitz]

3. one of my favorite REM songs , too..

:thumbsup:

[tigereye]

[stlsaxman]

4. Todd back in the day...

[tigereye]

9. oh crap!

I left off the NY DOLLS! What's wrong with me?

[maveric]

7. No Freddie Mercury? I know he's dead....

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. I love Bowie, and Billie Joe, and Michael Stipe...

and Brandon Flowers from The Killers, and Sam Endicott from The Bravery. Gerard Way is kind of creepy, but cool nonetheless. :D

[swag]

10. Iggy

[tigereye]

11. I can't decide if he was scarier then or now

[davidinalameda]

12. Bowie

[tigereye]

13. ah, I knew there was a Bowie pic with eyeliner somewhere

so I guess Billie Joe was just following in that great rock star tradition!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

14. What about Nick Rhodes ?

Keyboard Master of Duran Duran .

[progmom]

16. didn't he and his bride wear matching makeup at their wedding?

why oh why is my brain cluttered with this information? :banghead:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. Yes they did .

And I think his suit was pink . Edit : Another picture found .



Love his keyboard work but he was definitely tripping on the choice of this attire . Glad to see he is back to his senses 20 years later .

[progmom]

20. ....

[tigereye]

22. I'm posting a poll about eyeliner

[progmom]

23. silly moods are the best

:thumbsup:

[tigereye]

[Zomby Woof]

15. Dylan

[tigereye]

17. huh

well if there was ever anyone who didn't "need" eyeliner, it was Dylan.

guess they all have worn it at some point!

[tigereye]

19. here's some historical references and pix

For centuries people have used cosmetics to enhance or decorate the human figure for aesthetic or religious purposes. The earliest archaeological evidence of the use of cosmetics can be traced back to the urban civilizations of the ancient world. In southern Iraq and in Egypt, men and women alike painted kohl around their eyes to make them look larger as well as to protect them from the evil eye. This thick black ointment, made of ground lead sulfide or antimony sulfide, is still used today.

21. Robert Smith is noticeably absent from this poll.

I mean come on, he's the guy who made wearing eyeliner cool.

edit: He's the lead singer of The Cure for those who dont know.

[tigereye]

25. aha!

and here I thought it was David Johanssen!

you are right, though. maybe one of the joke rockers has got to go!

[BattyDem]

26. Alice!
