SHORT LIVES
SEEMS SO ROMANTIC
SHORT LIVES
I JUST CAN'T STAND IT
SHORT LIVES
IT'S CURTAINS FOR YOU
GOODBYE

Que Sera Sera
is the fourth
studio album
by
former lead guitarist
of
The New York Dolls
and
The Heartbreakers,
released in
December 1985.
Unlike previous efforts
So Alone
and
In Cold Blood,
only one song
on the album
features members
of his former bands,
and Thunders instead
relied largely on
the reggae-influenced
rhythm section
of session musicians
Keith George Yon
and
Tony St. Helene,
nicknamed
the Black Cats,
and also features
contributions from
Dr. Feelgood
guitarist
Wilko Johnson,
long-term collaborator
Patti Palladin,
and members of
Hanoi Rocks.
The original
1985 release
of the album had
ten songs.
On later pressings,
other songs from
the sessions
were added,
"Que Sera, Sera",
"Cool Operator (Black Cat Remix)"
and
Thunders' own remix
of the opening track,
"Short Lives",
which replaced
the original mix
as opener
of the album.
"Que Sera, Sera"
was first released
as a single
(7" and 12"),
backed with
Thunders' remix of
"Short Lives".
"Tie Me Up"
was earlier released as
B-side to
the Johnny Thunders
and
Patti Palladin single,
a cover of
Elvis Presley's song
"Crawfish"
in 1985.
