  2. I don't drink coffee - I take tea my dear, 
    I like my toast done on one side
    You can hear it in my accent when I talk...

      Quote

      I wrote “Englishman in New York for a friend of mine who moved from London to New York in his early seventies to a small rented apartment in the Bowery at a time in his life when most people have settled down forever. He once told me over dinner that he looked forward to receiving his naturalization papers so that he could commit a crime and not be deported. "What kind of crime?” I asked anxiously. “Oh, something glamorous, non-violent, with a dash of style” he replied. “Crime is so rarely glamorous these days.”

       

  3. Katy lies. 
    You can see it in her eyes. 
    But imagine my surprise when I saw you...

      Just listened  to this and many other Steely songs on Spotify .I love the guitar and sax parts on many numbers especially Katy lies live and Deacon blues played live .Make  you realize just how trite  most modern stuff is.

  6. A bottle of white, a bottle of red, Perhaps a bottle of rose instead, We'll get a table near the street, In our old familiar place, You and I - face to face. A bottle of red, a bottle of white, It all depends upon your appetite, I'll meet you any time you want, In our Italian Restaurant

      Still, a bit of Billy Joel makes a change - a 'blast from the past', as it were...

      Good album that was

  7. A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade, Laying everybody low with a love song that he made, Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade. Says something like you and me babe how about it?

  8. All alone at the end of the of the evening, And the bright lights have faded to blue, I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have, Loved me and I never knew...

  9. All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts, And they're coming round the track to haunt me. When she looks at me and laughs, I remind her of the facts, I'm the king of rock 'n' roll completely, Up from suede shoes to my baby blues...

  11. And if one day I should become, A singer with a Spanish bum, Who sings for women of great virtue, I'd sing to them with a guitar, I borrowed from a coffee bar, Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you...

  12. Baby Baby, feel these sweet sensations, yeah Honey honey, looks like a superstar, She's got a promise of love struck fascination What am I to do? How am I to know? Who you are. She shimmers like a California sunset, Lady lady, glitters but theres no gold, She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas, I'm so delirious, is she that serious? Is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long

  13. BBC coverage of the cricket on I-Player! Fantastic use of the net. Aint it great to have the corporation!

  14. Captain Fantastic, raised and regimented, hardly a hero. Just someone his mother might know, Very clearly a case for Corn Flakes and classics, "Two teas both with sugar please," In the back of an alley...

  15. Clair, The moment I met you, I swear I felt as if something, somewhere, Had happened to me, Which I couldn't see, And then the moment I met you again, I knew in my heart that we were friends...

      Mrs McVitie had only one t*tty to feed her baby on,

      The poor little bu**er had only one sucker to quench his thirst upon.

       

  17. Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play. We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day Won't you stay? Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry, The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain, Saved again.

  18. Desperado. Why don't you come to your senses, Been out ridin' fences, for so long now Oh, you're a hard one, But I know that you've got your reasons, These things that are pleasin' you, Can hurt you somehow

  19. Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, Stormy weather, Since my girl and I ain't together, Keeps rainin' all of the time...

  21. Down around the corner, A half a mile from here, You see them old trains runnin', And you watch them disappear, Without love, Where would you be now, Without love

      Spooky, just popped on my random 70s playlist.

  22. Felonius my old friend, Step on in and let me shake your hand, So glad that you're here again For one more time, Let your madness run with mine, Streets still unseen we'll find somehow, No time is better than now

  24. finds it hilarious that all those that bemoan me when I comment on an absence of NE region stuff are now all in chorus bemoaning the lack of Southern stuff from Bachmann. Hope they understand what its like now....
