Doesn't Really Matter - Platinum Blonde

Are you sitting comfortably? Good, then we'll begin. Another Canadian new wave band of the 80's, they were actually recently introduced into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.....today. Makes them the perfect band for today. This song has got a really cool feel to it, a very unique vocal deliverance, and a sweet little drum solo in the middle. Starting out as a Police cover band, this song along with Standing in the Dark gained them some fame as well as heavy rotation on the newly formed Much Music. This song was very political, and discussed matters of the police state repression. The lead singer of Platinum Blonde actually opened up the Mod Club in Toronto, which is a great place to check out music and a very popular venue here. Please note : the video I posted cut out the first line, which I used to open my post, and it's a damn shame.

Doesn't Really Matter

It's been a hard day in the city
It affects you in the most peculiar way
Dull day don't seem pretty
We've said all that there is to say
And if you were to ask me questions
You don't really want to know
Your concern is just for show
Your name's a number, just press a button
Your memories lost but they've not forgotten

They try to break our lust for passion
They try to tell us that it's not in fashion
And if you were' to ask me questions
What are we fighting-for?
We're just breaking down the door

(chorus)
It doesn't really matter
I've been through this all before
It doesn't really matter

They fight in England and Northern Ireland
The police they try to hold us still
They can bleed us and they can feed us
But you know they'll never control our will
And if you were to ask that question
What are we fighting for?
We're just breaking down the door

(chorus
