Mary StreetThe Bangles

Time's up girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review

Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)

You thought that cool
Was in someone else's shoes and makeup
Sitting in your room
Waiting for the moment to come

Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)

You got no tears for
All the guys who passed you by
All the girls who shut you out
They won't recognize you now

You're a good girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review

Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)

Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Oh yeah, oh yeah

The Bangles

The Bangles are an American pop rock band originally part of the Paisley Undergound movement that’s been described as “sunshiney Beatles pop”. They are best known for their internationally successful ‘80s singles “Manic Monday”, “Walk Like An Egyptian”, and “Eternal Flame” and have been called “perhaps the biggest all-female rock group of the 1980s”.

When their friend/bassist quit their band The Colours, sisters Debbi & Vicki Peterson’s newspaper ad was answered by Susanna Hoffs. They renamed themselves The Bangs and released “Getting Out Of Hand” on their own record label in 1981. Airplay on KROQ FM attracted Miles Copeland (IRS Records / Go Go’s) who signed them to his short-lived label Faulty Products and became their manager. When a New Jersey band claimed ownership of the name The Bangs, they changed their named to The Bangles and released their self-titled debut EP. Bassist Annette Zilinskas was added to the group in time to be included on the artwork, but not on the recordings. The Bangles then toured with English Beat.

Zilinskas was replaced by ex-Runaways bassist Micki ‘Michael’ Steele before the group’s 1984 debut album All Over The Place, released on Columbia Records. Despite its two singles “Hero Takes A Fall” and the Kimberly Rew-penned “Going Down To Liverpool” modestly charting only in the UK, the album still reached #80 in the US thanks to college radio airplay, MTV exposure, a tour with Cyndi Lauper and good reviews. Prince took an interest in the band after seeing the music video for “Hero Takes A Fall” and offered them two songs – “Manic Monday” and “Jealous Girl”.
