Space : Diary of a wimp
Listen, cringe and watch as [B]Space[/B] score another huge, inexplicable hit
How have Space managed to
get this far without anyone stopping them? This band have
had ten songs in the Top 20 and counting and they still make any sane person cry. Sure, the tunes are of the irritating variety which sneak up on the radio when you're not paying attention, grab you by the neck and force you to sing them all the day. But those 'witty', prosaic lyrics are too much every time. It starts off bad ("You thought you looked so cool in that Wonderbra/Oh I hate that new man in your life") and just gets worse ("He took you to see [/I]Four Weddings And A Funeral[I]/If you marry him then he's dug his own grave"). Listen, cringe and watch as Space score another huge, inexplicable hit.
