Colin Blunstone    There's a name from the past - made the hairs on the back of my neck rise, that did

Remember Hawkwind playing at North Cheshire College (now quaintly called South Trafford College) - in the long lost Blister on the southern side of the campus?

In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who etc etc

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Off to see Lou Reed perform his Berlin album at the Manchester Apollo on Friday night.

Bowie pinched all his moves!

[baldrick]

Amsterdam was on the B side of Sorrow, unless you are in France. They had Amsterdam on the A side. This amazing fact was brought to you by Baldrick.

[thegazelle]

indeed it was but i didnt know the french bit
think i may have to put ziggy at three having considered that there is a happyland where only children play

mother calls but we dont hear
its only 5oclock
and were not tired yet , but we will be very shortly
sissy steven plays with girls-----------

There is a happy land where only children live
You've had your chance and now the doors are closed sir,
 Mr. Grownup
Go away sir

[baldrick]

There is a happy land where only children live
They don't have the time to learn the ways Of you sir, Mr. Grownup
There's a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves
It's a secret place and adults aren't allowed there Mr. Grownup,
Go away sir
Charlie Brown got's half a crown, he's gonna buy a kite

Jimmy's ill with chicken pox, and Tommy's learned to ride his bike
Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he's so small we don't notice him
He gets in the way but we always let him play with us

Mother calls, but we don't hear
There's lots more things to do
It's only 5 o'clock, and we're not tired yet
But we will be, very shortly
Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry

Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky

Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away

Tommy's mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray

There is a happy land where only children live
You've had your chance and now the doors are closed sir, Mr. Grownup
Go away sir
Boo, de boo, de boo, de boo dup

[thegazelle]

it doesnt get any better than that it is so true

i want to be allowed back in

[Graham Bennetts Perm]

Amsterdam....try the John Denver version.....not quite Jacques Brel but makes David Bowie sound like Hammie Hamster

[thegazelle]

bloody hell that is some version (jacques brel), i am afraid you cankeep the little snippet of john denver,

 Bowie is still king of amsterdam as far as i am concerned

Today i am mostly listening to blinded by the light and the lindisfarne caught in the act album

[AltyTunnelSteward]

On the subject of Lindisfarne did anyone other than me see the repeated Old Grey Whistle Test (shown on BBC3 I think ) featuring Lindisfarne and other quite ridiculously hirsute bands and individuals of the time?
