Song "I Will Destroy You"

[cupine]

Hi Tom,

Could you or someone on the board tell me the artist and title of the song you played a couple of weeks ago with that line in it? I can't seem to find the show in which you played it.

Thank you!

Pretty sure you're talking about this one ... "I Wanna Destroy You," by the Soft Boys. From their 1980 album Underwater Moonlight ... which is an awesome, awesome album.

Soft Boys - I Wanna Destroy You (1979)

Soft Boys was Robyn Hitchcock's first band, and he continued/continues to make lots of good music ... but Underwater Moonlight was a real high-water mark early on in his career

That's the one! Thanks Dave!

Please note Kimberly Rew was also a guitar player/songwriter in the Soft Boys.

I'm pretty ashamed that I had no idea that The Soft Boys were Robyn Hitchcock's band until right now
