The Deciever - 1984
What profit hath a man if he gain the world and lose his soul.......?

come on down and meet your hairdresser......

Strength - 1985
Give me love....give me hope....give me strength....and stop calling us U2 clones, damn it!!!

Rescue Me - 1987
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmUn5cTVNgE
Presence of Love - 1987
Note to Van Hagar and the hair bands - it is possible to write a "love song" without drowning it in Velveeta
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iylGrePc0Tc
Spirit of 76 - 1985
Yeah, it was about a revolution, but not THAT one....

Rain In The Summertime - 1987
No, they weren't a Seattle band, honest........

"Unsafe Building" - 1990
The last single by the Original Alarm lineup, and a remake of a song they originally recorded a decade earlier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuewhmCm390
The Chant Has Just Begun - 1985
One of the more obscure Alarm singles. Blame the record company.... they thought the band would hit it big with a "Duran Duran like dance tune". Some experiments are best left in the laboratory.......

Sold Me Down The River - 1988
Should have been used as an anti NAFTA song in the 1992 presidential campaign.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbmawihyDw
Knockin On Heaven's Door - 1985
"This is a song I taught Bono how to play......"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPp9bCK1y9A
Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke? - 1984
Get back in your shelter, if you can't come down from the fence.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLK3k_0GHrg
68 Guns - 1984
they're after you to sign your lives away.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl1VphxsWt8
Knife Edge - 1985
....Memories come flooding back....the bitter pain of disappointment. Of once having love but now....I only feel loss.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxkhr76SydA
Marching On - 1983
...take this song of freedom, put it on and arm yourself for the fight......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVVITxhJ3Vs
Third Light/Across The Border - Live 1984
A couple songs that show how little some have learned about war over the last 20 years :(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oifc7NUOOVI
Absolute Reality - 1985
You may have love.. you may have hate.... you may be the pResident of the United States....but then you would be a dumb fucking Chimp......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5O4QvV7cs
Superchannel - 2006
This is the current single from Mike Peters' "New Alarm" lineup. Usually I'm skeptical and with good reason when one remaining member holds on to a band name, but this new material sounds great. Now if only I can actually find the album anywhere in this country.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bA43qQqH8s
Be Still - 2006
Another new song. Damn, I need this album.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erp86MbOggQ
45 RPM - 2005
The Alarm released this single last year under the false name "The Poppyfields" after an argument with their record label over the viability of a 20 year old band having a hit single.
Of course the song WAS a hit, and then the band revealed themselves in this video, appearing along with the "band" they had hired to be the "milli vanillis" in their publicity stunt. Damn great way to have a laugh at the corporatists expense, if you ask me ;)

Without A Fight - 2006
Although the lyrics don't mention it specifically, this song may have been inspired by Mike Peters' own recent battle with Leukemia in recent years. He's now in complete remission, thank God. :)

I've never quite figured out why this band gets so much love. I never hated them. Never loved them. Much like Radiohead.

Shit. I totally missed it. Guess I'll have to catch a repeat. XM usually runs something like that a few times. "Fred" is a decent channel, but I probably listen to "Fungus 53" more, for the good old Punk Rock. But if Fred's playing The Alarm, I might change my mind.
It will be repeated tonight...if I read it right.
I hope to catch it.

I saw The Alarm open for U2 at a Jai Alai arena in Orlando.
THAT was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

One of the best double-bills in rock history, no doubt :cool:
