I am told Rough Trade had 5 video clips released in Canuck Country (one for each album), but "All Touch" is the only one I've seen. There's a commercial VHS tape out there that has "Territorial" and "Crimes of Passion."
[/quote]Is it just me or does Carole Pope look like Lily Tomlin ?

LOL!!! She reminds me of the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Am I an awful person because I first read this as "Is it just me or does Carole Pope lick like Lily Tomlin ?"

Well, that, too.

I don't have the video -- and the only commercial copy I can find for sale online can be mine for the low, low price of $80 CAN -- but "Crimes of Passion" was by far my favorite Rough Trade track. They should have gotten a new American deal just for it alone.

Crimes of Passion

The lyrics were pretty smart, as well (in that uninimitably trashy Rough Trade way)...


[quote]CRIMES OF PASSION
(Pope/Staples)

Her hand slid down into the moistness of herself
She pulled her knees up, spread-eagled on the bed
Her Chenille bathrobe torn down the side
He was a willing victim, he couldn't resist her

The shower still dripping, coffee table overturned
The gun still smoking, scream caught in her throat
Her lungs still burning, her temple throbbing
She reached for a crumpled pack and lit up a smoke
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
Crimes of passion, crimes of passion, crimes

Crimes, crimes of passion
Crimes, crimes, crimes of passion

Johnny and Eddie lay in bed, their limbs entwined
The air full of the sickly-sweet smell of amyl
Their tanned bodies bathed in sweat, they looked like two young gods
Writhing in the throes of ecstasy

Vinnie ran in, pulled out a knife
Screaming defiance, Johnny begged for his life (Too late)
Eddie got Vinnie in a stranglehold
Pushed his face into a blood-stained pillow
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
Crimes of passion, crimes of passion, crimes

Crimes, crimes of passion
Crimes, crimes, crimes of passion
Crimes, crimes, crimes of passion
Crimes, crimes, crimes of passion[/quote]


Amazing they got widespread airplay with words like that.

By the way, anyone who wants their CDs, Carole offers them for sale at her website for $16 shipped each. Amazon still has "Shaking the Foundations" available for $13.99.

If you are looking for more Rough Trade, I also have their 'Best Of' CD and first direct-to-disc LP (on CD) as well.
