Universe

UK, 2nd December, 1991 - 7", Single
Polydor Records - PO 189

The second single to be taken from the band's "Wall Of Hits" Album, and the second of two new tracks on the Compilation.  It was released in four different formats:- 7" Single, 12" Single, Cassette-Single and CD Single.
Unfortunately, it failed to chart in the UK.





UK, 1991 - 12", Maxi-Single
Polydor - PZ 189




UK, December, 1991 - CD, Maxi-Single
Polydor - PZCD 198 / 865 179-2










The plan was, if the two new tracks sold well, then a new Studio Album would be made on Polydor.
Unfortunately, Universe didn't sell well, so this video was of their very last live performance.


Slade - Johnny B. Goode , 1991 - (Final Live Performance)

The following year, both Noddy and Jimmy would leave the band.




My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star

Universe
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

I was coming home, I was all alone
In a place so cold I don't feel
I was there for years, so afraid of fears
I was lost and I was the curse
Oh won't you be my universe

Oh yeah

I can hear the sound, I can hear it loud
Of the beat before time was dawned
Through the fire and rain I can feel your pain
Won't you be the last like the first
Oh won't you be my universe

How much have I travelled
How much have I seen
Is this reality or a broken dream, Ohhh

(Break)

Through raging storm won't you keep me warm
I'm the hunger, I am the thirst
Oh won't you be my universe


Red Hot
( Dave Hill & Bill Hunt )

Yeah she's hot

The girl is hot her heart's as cold as ice
She's got the lot she don't need no advice
A killer queen if she's not handled right
She's got a sting that'll last all night

The girl is hot don't you make no mistake
There ain't no time left for a second take
She moves around she's known in every place
You try it on she's laughing in your face

Red hot
She's looking for a big shot
Red hot
She's looking for a big shot

The girl is hot they call her vindaloo
Ready or not she's gonna boogaloo
A pretty thing and I ain't got no doubt
She'll chew you up and then she'll spit you out

I say red hot
She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot
She's looking for a big shot

(Break)

The girl is hot her heart's as cold as ice
She's got the lot and she don't need no advice
A killer queen if she's not handled right
She's got a sting that'll last all night

I said red hot
She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot
She's looking for a big shot

She's red hot red hot
She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot red hot red hot
She's looking for a big shot

She's red she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's hot she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's hot she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's red hot and red hot and red hot
