# YOU SAY I SAID # you say i said we won't last long as we drink to the health of our love song the hour is here that we've waited for i look to the fire as you walk through the door dreams become real in the light of the flickering flames boys become girls there's so many here i can't remember their names flashing sirens in the rain touching bodies again & again help me stand to catch the light watch me fall into the night You Say i Said that we should meet more often than we do to keep our cards upon the table our heads above the water but i don't even care no i don't even care if i drown if i drown beneath the waves of your illusions flashing sirens in the rain touching bodies again & again help me stand to catch the light watch me fall into the night You Say I Said ( Rob Stroud / December 1986 )

about

Three song studio quality demo tape from 1988 + one live recording

After Pink and Black i formed Cosmic 666 with three keyboard players & a drum machine, totally 'uncool' at the time.
I had also decided to make my debut as the 'lead singer' as i had recently seen Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys live on TV and thought "i can do that !" My song writing at the time was influenced by Depeche Mode/Swans/Skinny Puppy/The Young Gods & Yello which produced some dark & interesting Cosmic 666 songs.
We played 25 gigs in London 1987/1988 with the addition of Charlie Shilling on Keyboards who joined the band later.

Re-recorded versions of 'You Say I Said' & 'Running Scared' were released on 7" & 12" vinyl in 1989 & 1991 under the band name Technoquake.
