Recreating Old Mixtapes – Part 2

Oh, such an (un)productive day. I’ve listened to the entire Shine Mix though and managed to work out what every track is except one.

Side one:

  1. Manic Street Preachers – Design for Life
  2. Dodgy – Good Enough
  3. [Unknown]
  4. Ben Folds Five – Underground
  5. Joyrider – Rush Hour
  6. Presidents of the United States of America – Lump
  7. Rocket from the Crypt – On a Rope
  8. Mansun – Stripper Vicar
  9. Space – Female of the Species
  10. Supergrass – Going Out
  11. Sleeper – Inbetweener
  12. Gin Blossoms - Follow You Down
  13. Ash – Goldfinger

Side two:

  1. Folk Implosion – Natural One
  2. Salt – Bluster
  3. Garbage - Queer
  4. Pulp – Common People
  5. Oasis – Roll With It
  6. Supergrass – Alright
  7. Blur – Parklife
  8. Oasis – Cigarettes and Alcohol
  9. The Cranberries – Zombie
  10. Suede – Animal Nitrate
  11. Elastica – Connection
  12. Jesus Jones – International Bright Young Thing
  13. Green Day - Welcome to Paradise
  14. The Wonder Stuff – The Size of a Cow

It’s by no means perfect. I’ve always much preferred side one to side two. I wouldn’t have put the two Oasis tracks so close together, or even on the same side probably. But this is true nostalgia for me. Still love it.

So all that remains is to discover what the elusive ‘Side one: Track 3′ is and I can finally put the whole thing together in digital format. Hurrah. In the hopes that some nice reader will have a clue what it is I’ve managed to piece together what I think the lyrics are as best I can.

And we love you so come on, come on, come on
And we love you so come on, come on, come onSome people say live for today, while others cloud their thoughts in blue,
Some are bitter in their worlds, always hiding from the truth,
Running for cover, with one another, paint the town red, have a few,
The rumours that they spread ain’t true,
Love or hate us, we love you

And we love you so come on, come on, come on
And we love you so come on, come on, come on

While others cry and waste away, take my time and think things through,
I walk my path my own sweet way, I do what I do the way I choose,
Running for shelter, helter skelter…(missing lyrics)
The writing on the wall ain’t true,
Love or hate us, we love you

And we love you so come on, come on, come on

[Instrumental]

And we love you so come on come on come on (repeat lots and fade)
