    I spent about 3 hours in 1998 waiting for this song to come on Donna Air's MTV show so I could record it on VCR. The song that turned me on to Drop-D tuning. Many years later, the great Chris Cornell said Kelly was the best singer he'd heard in years. That's enough sign off as you'll ever need.

    unique voice, Kelly has. Treacle, Golden Virginia and gravel. Incredible! But get this .. . purely by chance the other day, I switched to the car radio after listening to the 'phonics on CD and they were playing a Bonnie Tyler track, I forget which one. But I did think "bugger me, she could be his mother,'. Obviously she isn't, but it's a bit odd with them both being Welsh 'n all. Look up one of her songs and you'll see what I mean.

    The Bartender and the Thief
    When you think about it he's watching every word you say, dazed
    And when he's sussed you out he calls her up, and out she comes and hustles us
    Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
    The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
    He watched the lesbian talk, she kissed and groped but mostly talked in lust, crushed
    He couldn't make the call, his eyes were gripped on licking tongues, enough's enough
    Failed for once
    Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
    The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and
    brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
    Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking
    The bartender and the thief are lovers, steal what they need like sisters and
    brothers, met in a church a night to remember, robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
    Saved what they stole to meet at the altar, place where they first set eyes on each other
    Flew to the sun to start life all over, set up a bar and robbed all the locals
