I had to move, Lord I couldn’t be still Over the moon, and I’m running down hill Nowhere to go, I was wandering free Nothing to show, I was happy to be I let me feet carry me That’s when I found it waiting Ah, the pleasure line No time for hesitating It could be a better life If you don’t see me, you know where I am Out here my heart is racing On the pleasure line I found a way to a place in the sun Sweet serenade, and a kiss all in one Ocean to sea, to a beach on a star Open and free, you can be who you are I want to play my guitar That’s when I found it, baby Ah, the pleasure line I know it might sound crazy It could be a better life Baby if you want to, you know where I am Out here my heart is waiting On the pleasure line I think I know what’s missing I need to share this blessing Come on and join me baby On the pleasure line I know it might sound crazy It could be a better life If you don’t see me, you know where I am Out here my heart is racing On the pleasure line

I’m never in love, singing a song (Maybe just once) I’ve never been hurt, never been wrong (Maybe just once) You never pick up, when I’m on the phone (Maybe just once) Or missing the bus, and walking alone (Maybe just once) I never lost a beat on you My heart never lost a beat on you I never ever lost a beat Maybe just once Away by the stair, calling your name Said you’d be there, but you never came Life can be tough, I ain’t gonna lie (Maybe just once) I’ve had enough, I ain’t gonna cry (Maybe just once) I never lost a beat on you My heart never lost a beat on you I never ever lost a beat Maybe just once You’ve taken your toll, I’m out on the rack On with the show, no going back I looked at her, she looked at me Ought to wake up, got somewhere to be I never lost a beat on you My heart never lost a beat on you I never ever lost a beat Maybe just once

Pouring rain, violet skies I’m in heaven, and it’s no surprise Tell me baby is it alright If I love you till the end of time? Do you really want to be mine? Let’s get married in the sunshine Hold me closer, don’t let go Love forever, on and on Falling falling, deeper yet Catch me darling, burning red Red’s the color, soft and sweet Under covers, wild and free Tell me baby is it alright If I love you till the end of time? Do you really want to be mine? Let’s get married in the sunshine Hold me closer, don’t let go Love forever, on and on Falling falling, deeper yet Catch me darling, burning red Call on me when you wanna be royalty You are the ruler of my heart Hold me closer, don’t let go Love forever, on and on Falling falling, deeper yet Catch me darling, burning red

Aerostar 04:20
(Vintage hot rod engine revs) Slide to the left now Shimmy to the right Pedal to the metal Stop at the light Shift to the middle Hit me down low Check in the mirrors Now put on the gas and ride Together to the crosstown beat It’s about time we meet Baby what car you drive? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, ride like an Aerostar Baby what’s on tonight? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, fly like I know you are Listen to the music Rock to the beat Swinging in the doorway Dance on your feet Buy a cup of joe now Spill it on the seat Race to the show now Relax, repeat Ride together to the crosstown beat It’s about time, indeed (Car engine revs, car door slams shut) Baby what car you drive? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, ride like an Aerostar Baby what’s on tonight? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, fly like I know you are Baby what care you drive? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, ride like an Aerostar Baby what’s on tonight? When you gotta pick me up? Get me in motion, fly like I know you are Baby what care you drive? When you gonna pick me up? Get me in motion, ride like an Aerostar Baby what’s on tonight? When you gotta pick me up? Get me in motion, fly like I know you are

Comic Relief 03:11
Saturday news, it’s all blue I’m in touch I know that storyline It won’t get me this time A walk in the park, when it ain’t dark The sun it’s up But you don’t recognize So I just walk on by I know the world is killing me I love you baby, can’t you see Ain’t nothing but a comedy Ohh, I’m laughing but the joke’s on me I’m laughing, hah ahh ah Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha Factory yard, who’s in charge? Just my luck They got a new machine And it don’t break like me Away on a train, window pane Is all fogged up I found my finger trace A great big smiling face I know the world is killing me I love you baby, can’t you see Ain’t nothing but a comedy Ohh, I’m laughing but the joke’s on me I’m laughing, hah ahh ah Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha

Sweet Marie 03:37
Lover tell me how long I’ve been asleep Mercy me Although it don’t mean I’m not still tired On the way back down I look out and see Sweet Marie She can turn me ‘round on how she smiles You’re my love, sweet Marie Only one I’ll ever need You’re my love, sweet Marie Only one Holiday don’t stay around long enough Not for us We could go out dancing through the night Everywhere we go they know our true love Is from above Anyone can see us shine so bright You’re my love, sweet Marie Only one I’ll ever need You’re my love, sweet Marie Only one You’re my queen, sweet Marie By your side, I’ll always be You’re my love

Lonely night I’m wishing only I was looking in your eyes Time goes by I wanna hold you but I’m never feeling right Because I know that you’re all in my head So let me go and I’ll put you to bed You’re just a shadow on the wall They don’t mean nothing at all You’re just a shadow on the wall They don’t mean nothing at all Lovely day The thought of you would always carry me away But it’s no fun The clouds are getting dark And blocking out my sun I saw a ghost, baby, haunting my home Why don’t it go away and leave me alone? You’re just a shadow on the wall They don't mean nothing at all You're just a shadow on the wall They don't mean nothing at all I got the gloom, baby, covering me Cuz you’re a cruel silhouette as could be You’re just a shadow on the wall They don’t mean nothing at all You’re just a shadow on the wall They don’t mean nothing at all...

Look out to the south and you’ll see, it’s me There, turning your doubt to belief Now what will you do I’m shining for you And to tell you the truth You’re not the only one out here No, that can’t be I’ve been looking down your way And I say My, what a peculiar shade Well, it’s getting late I should be on my way But let me just say You’re not the only one out here No, that can’t be I’ve got feelings and I’ve been blue Thinking of how You can’t feel when I’m there with you You need to see to believe that I’m here Breathing the air that you do It’s true Here, sharing a laugh or two Now what will you do I’m shining for you And to tell you the truth You’re not the only one No, no, no That can’t be
9.
I don’t know you and you don’t know me And I can’t see your face in the dark Ooh then I hear you whisper to me Come meet me in my heart I wanna know now Come meet me in my heart Yelling so loud, I can hardly speak You’re La Vida Loca and I’m C’est La Vie Do you really wanna go down This road with me Loving that’s something we all need I can’t know you, if you don’t know me And though we tried, we’re back to the start Ooh then I feel that something could be Come meet me in my heart Come meet me in my heart
10.
Well what can I say, it’s good to back It’s good to be back While I’ve been away, I knew I’d return And you haven’t changed Oh what can I say, it’s good to be back It’s good to be back I’ve made my mistakes I live and I learn That people can change I was lost in a new crowd, messing around I ain’t like them Now I’m back at the old home I’ve left it before Won’t do it again Aw it’s good to be back Sitting in the sunshine I look back on where I’ve been All the wonders in the world don’t matter If I can’t see you again Aw it’s good to be, good to be back Well what can I say, it’s good to be back (Final applause)

about

Restlessness is the first step towards pleasure. We make comfort out of discomfort, pleasure out of pain. That journey isn’t always a straight line, but at least we’re going somewhere real. “I had to move, Lord I couldn’t be still” is the unsettled way that Video Age’s new album and title track, Pleasure Line, begins. But as the song unfolds, it uplifts us into a romantic space of possibility and love. Just as “love” is both a noun and a verb, Pleasure Line is both a road to be traveled and the act of crossing that road.

Video Age’s first two albums were about loneliness and discovering oneself, but Pleasure Line takes on a whole new attitude, considering songwriting partners Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli are both getting married this year (just a few weeks apart from each other, too). But these songs aren’t expressions of one-dimensional puppy love—this is euphoria with depth, ecstasy with complications.

Video Age’s third album, due out from Winspear on August 7, 2020, pairs neon-bright 80s pop melodies with a vast range of influences (including Janet Jackson, David Bowie, and Paul McCartney) to create an optimistic sound all their own. The influences vary song to song, but they’re all tinted with the same rosy hue. These are catchy, memorable songs that radiate big “glass half-full” energy. Pleasure Line is a salve that protects against cynicism—listening to this album, you can’t help but feel the world around you is full of romantic potential.
