Just listened to Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street' - still sounds as good as it did 40 years ago . Truly classic in every sense of the word .
I played George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' this morning - reminds me of when the world was a slightly better place to live in .
Love

Yep no idea how it only reached no 42 in the uk in 1984 with all the culture club/wham bilge that is now dated. It made no 1 in the usa dance charts that year, I guess radio 1 didn't play it as they ruled back then. Didn't discover it till the best of in 1990 and then bought all their stuff.

You can rest your head on the corner of your bed

There are windows to clean on the way
You've got nothing to loose
But the shine on your shoes
Do the best things you can every day
You can get upset, at the way the people get
You can turn your back on the crowd
