    Julian Cope, "My Nation Underground” (1988)

    After the breakup of his band The Teardrop Explodes in 1982, Julian Cope embarked on a prolific solo career, making sharp, intelligent, but catchy pop music. Here we have his fourth full-length solo release, the one that finally caught my attention, having lost track of him while following his still-active kindred Liverpudlians, Echo & The Bunnymen.

    The track on My Nation Underground that got radio play was “Charlotte Anne” with a slow, almost martial beat, and featuring what might be a penny whistle - not the usual stuff of a radio hit. The album’s opening track, a cover of “5 O’Clock World,” a song made famous by The Vogues in the 60s, didn’t go far commercially as a single despite being given a crisp modern sound.

    The title track featured here wields horn section blasts, densely layered vocals, pounding drums, appearances by harmonica and strings, yet still maintains a feeling of space in its expansiveness.

  4. Up every morning just to keep a job
    I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
    Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
    While another day goes down the drain

    But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
    No one owns a piece of my time
    & there's a 5:00 me inside my clothes
    Thinkin' that the world looks fine

    Tradin' my time for the pay I get
    Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
    I've been goin' tryin' to make my way
    But I live for the end of the day
