Happy Mondays - Tokoloshe Man

1990 Happy Mondays cover of the 1971 John Kongos single, Tokoloshe Man. (Kongos is an English-speaking white South African)

The Tokoloshe is a nasty Zulu/Xhosa malevolent water spirit that witches use to get revenge on their enemies.

"Make your bed up high, pray into the sky
Close the window, close the door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Get on your knees, scream, please
That man just loves to tease
Try to run, get a gun
He just laugh, it makes it more fun"

R.E.M. - 1,000,000

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too
Smarter too
All among the tomb
All among the ruin

All among, all among, all among the tomb
The secret in, the secret in, the secret in the ruin

i could live 1000000
i could live 1000000 years

Siouxsie And The Banshees -- Hong Kong Garden

From their debut album The Scream though I think the single was released a few months before. Not sure though. Credited as the first post-punk single.
