Heading to Waverley to meet a work colleague, I passed Fopp. Well, I didn’t exactly pass it, I went in and came out with a few cheap CDs: two old favourites that I previously had only on hissy cassettes – Passengers Original Soundtracks and Ian Hunter’s All American Alien Boy and one that I had heard bits of over the years but never the whole thing – the first Crosby Stills and Nash album.
My colleague’s quote from a GP friend of his: ‘There are no more fat, lazy people in Britain any more – only people with eating disorders.’
I’ve updated the lyrics game with one more successful entry and put in all the ones you didn’t get. And before you start grumbling about obscure unheard-of acts, two used to be Beatles and another still is Paul Simon.
of your 20 selections, I have 11 yet could identify only 2 out of:-
David Bowie: Bring Me the Disco King
The Kinks: Apeman
Joni Mitchell: Edith and the Kingpin Sensational Alex Harvey Band : Next
Mott the Hoople: Roll Away the Stone
Tommy MacKay: My Beautiful Ninja
George Harrison: Behind That Locked Door
The Velvet Underground: Jesus
John Cale: Taking Your Life in your Hands
Tyrannosaurus Rex: One Inch Rock
Robert Fripp/David Byrne: Under Heavy Manners
Hmm – I guess I don’t pay that much attention to the words….
