Shadows where I stand

On a watch with no hands

I love the Japan one too. Now you’ve mentioned the original I remember it. Not half as much character to it imo.

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will

In fact Japan are probably another 80s band that I quite liked during the 80s but didn’t appreciate just how good they were.

Right, this pile of shite has been stuck in my head for three days, but Glory Days got rid of it. See if you know it...

Said I’d met somebody new
So fine

Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you, I always will
But darlin right now
I’ve gotta say goodbye

My father loved a bit of Luther. Please don't cast aspersions into my musical taste because I know this song...

Good grief you've been hard at it here! I checked in at the old place to find cobwebs

Seems I missed the ones I knew

Hello everyone - hope you’re all well and happy.

Thanks for the new thread Coffee. I’ve slightly lost the run of things lately (too much time spent trying to sort house stuff out).

I loved Japan, Honey. I saw them live at the Hammersmith Odeon - I I think it was 1981. They were amazing, especially Mick Kahn, the lovely bass player. I wore an ankle length dress (black, naturally) and peacock feathers in my hair. Those were the days.
