dolabellae!

Lyrics: I'm not surprised no-one spotted the last one, although it was a top ten UK hit in 1992 -- Welcome to the Cheap Seats by the Wonder Stuff, a song I've always liked. (The cryptic reference to the previous post was because it was on the album Never Loved Elvis.)

So for another here's a track from an album I think dolabellae has mentioned, although I must admit I first knew it from the hard-rock cover that was a singles hit, and didn't realise it was a cover for a long time. ;)

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there, that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors (1970s)

very sweet of you to remember my birthday when I haven't been around for ages (again)!

And, yes, Joni's my girl! This Flight Tonight, from Blue. Who did the hard rock cover? Don't think I've ever heard it.

You're welcome! The cover was by Nazareth, circa 1973. (Actually, October 73, #11. Just looked it up on everyhit.com. :D)

Do you mind if I friend you?

I've seen your posts on Remus Reads, Omniocular and the FA Nifflers' Forum. You're also on my friends' friendslists.

Of course, more the merrier. :) I've seen you post too (and greatly enjoyed some of your stories).
