Everything But The Girl

[Thomcat]

YUM. Just heard a teeny tiny snippet and had forgotten just how much I loved/love them.

I also have a EBTG tune to thank for getting me and DP together, in a way.

Love them

My favourite is Twin Cities

and Apron Strings

and the one about Christmas [too much wine emoticon]

When you break up, it is time to get pissed.

Another break up song, Aimee Mann 'That's just what you are'.

Thanks for remonding me how good they are. I'll be adding them to my mp3 tomorrow I think.

Walking Wounded was ace, I love them too, early and later.Which book was it Franny?

Idlewild

These Early Days I think this is my favourite. I still can remember the words.

ahh - Tnog where are you?

Off to amazone>>>

I wore my 'Eden' cassette out with so much listening. Wonderful album. It is the music that reminds me most of being in the sixth form, of revising for A levels, visiting universities - that whole 'big new world' feeling, and my first big failed romance with an older, rather arrogant bloke
(cue the lyrics form the wonderful 'bittersweet'
"she's such a sweet girl, free of the taints of this world
think that's a compliment,don't be so full of sentiment
why you worship sweetness, what virtue's there in weakness
being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know" That was me Tracey was talking about, you know....)

I have it somewhere wombling, am happy to lend

oh sorry

the book

Thanks fran, I'd love to borrow it, if you are sure you don't mind.

no I will just have to remember, and find it wombling
I am sure those two things won't be too challenging, at all

, you've got until 4th July!

Whats the song Benn Watts sings where it says 'I've thought of having children but I've gone and changed my mind. Its hard enough to watch the news let alone explain it to a child'

Is it something to do with Elvis?

maidamess I have just litened to taht one

The Night I Heard Caruso Sing

Oh thankyou. I love that song.

'he's almost as good as presley and if I, could only do one thing'

ooh LOVELY

you must all know of course that they named themselves after a furniture shop in Hull called Turners with the strap line 'Everything but the Girl'. Loved them since discovering them in 6th form on my first ski trip where Eden was played over and over. Have spent many many nights with a wine box and marlboro lights listening and talking til the dawn - sighs - memories. Oh when i was young, i was another woman!

yogabird - you and I are very much of the same ilk

He's almost as good as Presley.........

If I only do one thing
I'll sing songs to my father
I'll sings songs to my child
its time to hold your loved ones.......

Oh i love them. Their cover of The Only Living Boy In New York is one of the best covers i've heard. I think i would even go as far to say it is better than the original. Aah makes me melt

gladbag, am loving this thread along with the youtube accompanying it. you reminded me of me at 17 that's what got me into this again. Remember, 'everything's like christmas day without you - it's cold and there's nothing to do' who as a teenager didn't feel a little of that at least once? I need to get onto itunes and replace that lot of old tapes that i hadn't thought of for so long.
I was at college in Hull, where they met i think. We also had the Housemartins - more memories! Ok it's not got the credibility of Madchester but we had a good time

that caruso song is lovely - never heard it before - thankyou! That vid looks like my holiday pics !
