Cleopatra
Come And Get Me(WEA)
Bit more of a sophisticated vibe from the Higgins family here,
after the rumbustiousness of their early efforts. You join us in the lobby of an American hotel as
the cocktail pianist strikes some melodramatic chord, and carved onyx bowls of esoteric nibbles
are disdainfully picked at by the estranged wives of diplomats.
Idly, lizards dangle, while Cleopatra gamely attempt to
uncomfortably reconcile themselves with their new, glamorous position in the market place and their slightly wussy-sounding plea for love. Like fake marble nightclub walls - it's all about the polish, and not really
a lot about the substance.
