Hi All, The subject was going to be "He remembers Stiff Little Fingers in '78" but someone else already drew attention to that. Rock For Me Belfast Thanks to the band and the Beeb for broadcasting the Belfast gig. Good to hear the full live sound without a load of audience chatter obscuring it. I especially liked the full-on R!O!C!K The Boys Are Back In Town and the eight-hander on The Boy With The Arab Strap. What about the rest though? They didn't broadcast the following songs: My Wandering Days Are Over Slow Graffiti Don't Leave The Light On Baby Cool For Cats Simple Things The Fox In The Snow O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Dog On Wheels Happy Christmas (War Is Over) The strings on Fox In The Snow are beautiful. Please all therefore mail nice Mr Lamacq (steve.lamacq@bbc.co.uk) & try to persuade him to air the rest of the concert. WANDERING ALONE At last a clear version where you can make out all the words. Apologies to Stevie Thomas Jackson for any mistakes in my attempt at transcribing the lyrics to his Spanish tale of a fugitive from justice. All corrections welcome. Wandering alone on the ridge of a coast Lost to the world he had known as a boy He knows his lover lies South in the city Passing along in the sleepiest night Warm in the woods that conceal him from light He is accustomed to hiding from people Taking his time as he crosses a bridge Holding the flowers he picked from the ridge Walking in shadows to his Senorita Safe in the dawn he gets under the sheets His Senorita heavenly sweet Soul(?) that was put there to save and protect him <instrumental break, some pizzicato> He knows her time cannot endlessly go Traps will be set by the people below She would be caught too and he could not bear it Hoping for freedom he can almost touch Both take for granted as they walk to church He says his prayers and God listens to him "Sir, all I want is the chance to amend Past infidelities. Please do not send Me far away from my wise Me far away from my wise Me far away from my wise Senorita Senorita" There. Someone should do Nothing In The Silence, or better still The Magic Of A Kind Word, if only to convince me that Stuart doesn't actually keep singing "Shake, Mother Goose" throughout it. Keith Watson Fans of Mr Dandycock who miss his contributions to Sinister will have to content themselves with his submission to B&S' Top 10s page where he rates Bowie. Ant I don't remember having plugged anyone for a while so please check out Hefner drummer Mr Harding's solo work. (see www.antpop.com) His album "A Long Way To Blow A Kiss" will be out on 04.03.02? and is lovely - 11 songs, some sad & some sweet, all pretty. That'll do for now. Y'all have fun in Camden On Sea at the weekend.
