Soul16 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) This is a favourite because it’s so laughably awful that whoever wrote it deserves a slap coz it’s so bad and a handshake for getting away with it. Jeez... ‘I don't want to see a ghost, It's a sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast And watch the evening news’ Having got that off my chest, my true favourite line soul-wise will always be: ’I’ve never had a single lesson, All this time, I’ve been guessin’ However, I could pick any lines from the verses in that song, the writers (Lewis - Lewis - Farmer) must have been pretty pleased with it Edited March 8, 2019 by Soul16 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

As I write this letter it's raining on my window pane. And I feel the need of you, because, without you nothing seems the same. So I'll wait until you're home.

The lyrics throughout are brilliantly awful Hehe..i know,the whole thing is mental isn't it?..my elder brother was a big T.Rex fan when we were growing up, he'd play albums like The Slider constantly but I could never really understand what Marc Bolan was on about, although Bolan himself probably didn't know either to be fair.. A bit later on I got massively into Jimi Hendrix (and illicit substances) as a teen and hear things like this, from 'Axis Bold As Love'. Anger, he smiles, Towering in shiny metallic purple armour Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, They quietly understand Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready, But wonder why the fight is on. Soul wise, id have to choose The Dells 'Its All Up To You' . It's hard to pick a particular line though to be honest,the whole thing is magnificent from start to finish and was the first record I heard that sparked my passion for Northern Soul music. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
