Guest bobby's girl Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Just about every line from "Cashin' In" however modified for Soul-Sourcers I choose this one "When I found you had opened my record box, that was the last straw, I can't take it no more" Rob ...Writing all the bad cheques you can't cover, but slow down cos the money's gittin tight! oh and... "...I had my eyes wide open from the start, and girl you never lied to me and the part they'll never never see is the part that you showed me... its the part that you showed me..." Four Tops - Do What You Gotta Do. Tho' would it have sounded the same without Levi's glorious vocals...?

Theothertosspot Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 An actor's life is not for me, but I play the part so well, though my heart is broken down inside, no one can ever tell, they look at me, but they don't see this sad but lonely clown (now baby), if they took a closer look, they'd see the smile was upside down, if they could turn me over, their gonna see, there's really two sides of me, and I hurt all on the other side......... Sheer poetry! Ian D Written by Sidney Barnes and co help (JJ Jackson?), my favourite record ever, and it also promoted the next stage, ie from Torch to Casino, it was the missing link between the two that kept the scene moving forward (imo). Wonder what records do that nowadays, food for thought perhaps. Regards Bob 1
