[Baldseagull]

Is it, i thought it was gor or cor blimey. not that i know what gor blimey trousers are?

Trousers tied off below the knee to stop rats running up there, supposedly. I would have tied them at the ankle myself.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

What a song, what a genuine maverick genius.

Ahead of his time? More timeless.

I remember reading years back that a label approached NY re remixing (as opposed to re mastering) some of his classic albums, his reply: “you can stick your remix up your ass.”

It was Broken Arrow that did it for me, something truly special started with that scorching beauty of a song.
