some good super-specific lyrics in this one, but what does this mean?  "I lay on the bed with you.. we could make some book on records..." 

I also like "I showed up late with a neon light as a visa."
I always thought it was "book of records". I think the idea was that they could have some record-breaking sex...

I also wondered about the neon light. I always envisioned this as being a glowing nose from being drunk, but don't have much conviction that that's what they had in mind.

White Girl is my favorite X song and possibly in my all-time top 10.

X: another bustout?  BOS6 in any case -- this has been a fine fine set.

‎04/16/12 - Monday! A Mystery Year! (1981)

1. Go-Gos -- Our Lips Are Sealed
2. Adam Ant -- Ant Music
(Movie Arthur -- Dudley Moore -- "You spoiled little bastard")
3. Human League -- Love Action
4. Cars -- Since You're Gone
(News clip -- Downer news including assaination attempts and hostage drama)
5. King Crimson -- Frame By Frame
(News clip -- Oakland Raiders win Super Bowl XV)
6. The Who -- You Better, You Bet
7. Depeche Mode -- Just Can't Get Enough
(News clip -- Bohemian Club)
8. Heaven 17 -- (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
9. Stevie Nicks/Don Henley -- Leather and Lace
(Commercial -- Brooke Shields -- What comes between me and my Calvins? nothing)
10. X - White Girl

Can't remember the last time I had 6 BOSes in an '80s set. And only 3 tracks even approached being LNs (Go-Gos, Cars and the 'oo, IMHO) But I'm willing to let that slide. Not bad for a Moan-day.

I had time to research, and no less than FOUR bustouts: X's "White Girl", Depeche Mode, Heaven 17 and Human League's "Love Action" -- amazing, really. I thought the King Crimson was too but AL played "Frame By Frame" once before. The Cars tune was of course a major Moreytrina, the Go-Go's somewhat less so, but everything else was relatively rare -- "Antmusic" and the Nicks/Henley are AL faves that Dave never played.  Most impressive set in a while, sez me.
