Thompson Twins - "I know what it means to work "hard-on machines"..."

I'm not sure what "hard-on machines" are, but that's not a bad job, I guess.

1. Ministry - Revenge
Why Fabio?... why is Ministry obsessed with Fabio?

(The correct lyric is of course "Far below" not Fabio)

Fabio original sin
Fabio the state i'm in
Fabio malicious crimes
Fabio her for the time
Fabio
Fabio
Fabio is the place you'll go, ho!

---

2. OMD - Secret
Correct lyric:
Everyday you're always there
You comfort me and make me feel it's worth my while

Back in 1988-89 my girlfriend and her girlfriends used to sing: "...you come fuck me and make me feel it's worth my while"

For the longest time, I thought the line "...so mystic and soulful" in Ultravox's "Vienna" was "...some mistaken soul food."
