oh, man, parade woulda made one killer double album. so many great tunes, so many that fell through the cracks: what about an honest man, junk music, all my dreams, love or money, others here with us, etc, etc. ,etc.!
as it is, i've always felt the parade album was very good but slight. so short! and short on really strong songs, too, although the music and the concept are both brilliant.

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

I've found that High Fashion, Mutiny, Desire and Splash go well with Parade as well.

Bag yourself a copy of DMSR and Days Of Wild - check Amazone for the former, uptown.se for the latter.

- Mia Bocca is in UDCM
arrow a Dream Factory thread + it's an outtake from The Family but I think that Miss Understood (Susannah on vocals) has a Parade vibe - Understanding is cheap when you fall in love

No, earlier. It was written about Vanity and was recorded in the spring-summer of 1983. Wendy & Lisa reworked it in January 1986. biggrin

I'd love to hear that one. Very un-Princely title for that
era. It's one of the most interesting sounding outtakes to
me of all of them. Don't know why.
