Many that seem to come and go depending on mood. At thirteen all I had was a Perdio trannie. By 16 it was just about any music venue other than The Locarno.
One that sticks out was not a song, Pop Corn by Hot Butter. It was in the charts during exchange month, lots of skimpily dressed French visitors at youth club…

Even The Who only mumble the words nowadays but at the time it was the ultimate dismissal of the older, critical generation.

If some of us are being silly…then

So true, I had to Google the lyrics because I didn’t recognise them, as soon as I realised what it was the whole song started playing in my head with Jasper’s voice, and then it was obvious.

You can check out whenever you like
But you can never leave.

…and Jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon.

…run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one.

For my first love. For Linda, wherever she may be.

“I’m a little bit dizzy, I’m a little bit scared
I guess I never felt this much aware
That I’d love her
I’m hoping that I never recover
'Cause she’s good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away”

I was a little older than 15 but it does take me back. Great track, great album.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?

Every time she walks down the street

Pretty women out walking
With gorillas down my street.

Today I might be mad, tomorrow I’ll be glad
Cause I’ll have Friday on my mind.

I used to drive the rest of the office mad playing the intro on the wires of my drawing board.
