I thought they were are all serious! Even if they were amusingly so.

Hmmmm...

"Rosebud" is meant to be serious?!
Oh come on......!!! It's a fabulously kitsch Gene Pitney pastiche, and one of my Sparks favourites, but who can listen to it without grinning like a maniac. It's really funny!

Really so?? Oh dear, I've always thought Rosebud is tragic, even frightening. Too serious in fact.

I voted for With All My Might... not for the seriousness but more for its romantic sweetness... :)) When I hear those verses "The noise of my heartbeat/May cover the words I say" I start melting... *sighs*

Definitely NTYBOME. It makes me come out in goosebumps everytime I hear it.

Aren't nearly all Sparks' songs wonderfully, sometimes desperately, serious, whatever the level of witticism, humour and irony in the mix?

Fletcher Honorama! A song about someone's death, and celebrating the 80 June's he'd seen!

Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth definitely - the standout song for me on my first ever Sparks gig in February. Gave me the shivers!!
