So go to hell if you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone

Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills

Instant disqualification of anyone who references the abomination of the cover, which I think was 90s. Mention it and you will forfeit all points gained thus far and have to leave the thread in disgrace

It does mention city blues but not sure about the rest!
VictoriousSockPuppet · 26/07/2020 18:45

Actually, I think the cover I'm thinking of is a different song 🤣🤣🤣
Scrap previous comment.

Although we still won't mention the cover I am thinking of

I'm glad you're home
Now did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye
Well lay back and relax
While I put away the dishes

Oh, I’m so glad you like it. It is lovely. The Scott Walker-esque vocals, the trumpet, the melancholy lyrics - it’s all so evocative of long ago summers and youth and thinking it’s all going to last forever whilst knowing it’s all going to end...

1968, several covers but 1983 probably best known
