    I know - I couldn’t bring myself to mention it ;)

    I hear it in my head by Billy; my sister is a fan :rolleyes:

  2. You're everywhere and nowhere baby, that's where you're at
    Going down a bumpy hillside, in your hippy hat
    Flying across the country, and getting fat
    Saying everything is groovy, when your tires are flat:)

    He wrote two extra verses for her, she apparently consolidated them in to the one in the song.

    Honours even :)

    I can honestly say I have never really listened to the lyrics or to what the artists were trying to convey in songs but last week whilst driving through a run down area where there used to be lots of industry when I was a teenager an old song by Erasure came on the radio (The Circus) and the lyrics felt poignant to me;


    Father worked in industry
    Now the work has moved on
    And the factory's gone
    See them sell your history
    Where once you were strong
    And you used to belong
    There was once a future
    For a working man
    There was once a lifetime
    For a skillful hand yesterday

    Personally I blame @Louey. Because of his radio broadcast I have listened to sheds load of Heart, ELO, Yazoo, Alison Moyet, Erasure, Japan, Fleetwood Mac, Depeche mode, Ultravox and a compilation of the best of the 70’s (I do love Donna Summer)

  13. I saw Erasure at Sheffield City Hall , about 12 years ago. Was an eye opener! Andy Bell in a burgundy leather wedding dress with a leather Basque underneath!

  14. I have that Album ! But that looks like an American import as its labelled "Yaz"

    I’ll defend myself again! I love that song, great lyrics. I posted genius lyrics as per the thread.

    Others may have given ironic answers, but not me!! :thumbsup:

  16. It's a fancy Mobile Fidelity pressing, so probably is made for the American market. So did they call themselves "Yaz" in America? I wasn't aware of that, if they did?
     
  17. Only just found this thread - how come I didn't see it last year - anyway my favourite all lyric is Bob Dylan - it goes something like this ...

    "... If you could stand one time in my shoes
    ..and just for that moment I could be you
    then you would know what a drag it is to see you....."

    You can choose from fantom fears or kindness that can kill.
    I will choose a path that's clear.
    I will choose free will.

    Guess who :)

    Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
    All looking for a new place to drive
    You sit beside me so newly charming
    Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    Way down the lane away, living for another day
    The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
    Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
    My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in time
    With your beating heart
    And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
    The front of your dress, all shadowy lined
    And the droning engine throbs in…
