A whimsical country-waltz about a relationship which crossed the strict tribal/class divides of early 90’s teenage society in Blackpool.
lyrics
I remember that kiss, It was a moment of pure bliss
My stomach went tight, My head set alight, And I thought “hey what’s this?”
I remember your arms, And a few other bodyparts,
And I knew I’d make sure, That nothing of yours, Would go unexplored
And I sang...
“I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria
And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her”
I remember your dad, Cos he had a skinhead
And he had a tattoo, That the years had turned blue, It said “don’t fuck with me”
I remember your house, In the yard was a kitchen sink
And your mum would make tea, And Benson’s for three, And tip me the wink
And I sang...
“I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria
And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her”
I remember your kiss punch, Cos you nearly brought back my lunch
But the most painful part, Was I knew that you’d hate me for evermore
But I think of you still, In fact you’re actually in my will
I leave you my car, It’s been pretty far, And it doesn’t like hills
And I sing...
“I don’t need no food, Just give me Gloria
And I don’t need no music, When I’m with her”

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
