Another key musician of my formative years has passed.  I've tried to capture everything about his and The Cars' style in this lyric. You need to imagine the Greg Hawkes' synthesizer soaring over all of this.

Sounds of Pleasure

never knew you existed/'til a Boston soundcheck/me and the boys never resisted/an intramural team came next/debut spun thousands of times/good times to mixed up/innuendo, alienation, simple rhymes/the cool detached aura to pick up//sounds of pleasure/you gave me/sounds of pleasure/you gave me/ooh, sounds of pleasure//from album cover to lyric sheet/everything stayed so true/every new girl that we meet/better be ready to dance to you//sounds of pleasure/you gave me/sounds of pleasure/you gave me/ooh, sounds of pleasure//and then it stopped . . ./I can still hear your//sounds of pleasure/you gave me/sounds of pleasure/you gave me/ooh, sounds of pleasure/
