Catch My Fall is another really good Idol ballad. He then went and did that dreadful cyberpunk album and all was lost.

Catch My Fall woot!

I've traveled and unwound my own truth, yeah
I've laid my head on the rock of youth, yeah
I've trusted and then broken my own word
Just to keep me free in this mad, mad world

It could happen to you
So think for yourself...

I love this Song back in the day.Billy Idol was cool&Had a Little Edge to Him with this Cut."Flesh For Fantasy" was mu Cut as well."Eyes without a Face" is the Kind of Cut I wish a Rapper would Re-Make from a Cold Perspective because Idol's Cut has teeth in there when he sings it.it's one of those Songs that Captured the Early 80's really well IMHO.

Well u probably dont like his vibrato or Elvis impersonation...who would you have sing it..Ray Parker Jr.? Who? I picture a woman singing it from back then..maybe Patty Smythe with Scandal or hell, George friggin Michael.

i think it's time rappers became original & left classic alone & didnt fuck them up.

That song is SO Billy Idol that I can't imagine anybody else singing it. I might be the only one who will admit this, but I love "Sweet Sixteen." It's hard to describe, but I have an odd attraction of liking a song by an artist or group that isn't typical of their normal style.
