-----------------------------------
I'll begin by talking
About something that puzzles me
Things like jewellery
And ice statues
Fragile works of art
You cannot
Touch them
Gaze at them longingly
From a distance
Today I'm just
Wearing a baby doll
Doing nothing
Vegetating in my bed
In the afternoon
Wearing my brand-new suit
I'll go window-shopping
To kill some time
At night
Wearing a black gown
I'm invited to dinner
Please call me madame
According to the tarot cards
The beautiful girl
Lives in a sea of tears
And the fool won't stop
Giving away money
Just like a broken tap
In the morning
Wearing my fur coat
I'll get back to the hotel
In the car you're so proud of
Someday
Wearing a white dress
I'll have my wedding ceremony
You too please come
Catwalk - Pizzicato Five
Pizzicato Five's 'Catwalk' stands as a defining anthem of the late 1980s electronic pop movement, blending J-pop sensibilities with the band's signature synth-heavy production. Released during a period of intense experimentation, the track exemplifies the group's ability to merge catchy melodies with atmospheric soundscapes that captured the zeitgeist of the era. As a staple of their discography, the song reflects the band's unique approach to pop music, characterized by intricate arrangements and a distinct fusion of Japanese and Western influences. It remains a cultural touchstone for fans of the genre, illustrating how Pizzicato Five helped shape the sound of electronic pop in the late twentieth century.
