Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
“Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?”
As we drove on through the rain, as he listened, I explained
And he left me with a prayer that I’d find you
And I said “Daddy, I’m so afraid
How will I go on with you gone that way?
Don’t want to cry anymore, so may I stay with you?”
And he said “That’s my job
That’s what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me
That’s my job you see”
Here is the master. Grab some tissues, listen to the words and pausation.
I’d like thus song played at my funeral as well as The Beatles’ The Old and Winding Road (Phil Spector version).

“When you get lost between the Moon and New York City” was a line by the late Australian Peter Allen, and that’s why he received royalties - everyone remembers it.

The Model came out in the late 1970s and it’s a gem. This was genius of early electronic music - 46 years ago - foretelling a future that never happened.

I can’t be in love if it’s plastic
To live on my own just seems tragic
But we’ll raise our swords high when our day comes
You thought it was gold but it was bronze
So get here in time when our day comes
You thought it was gold but it was bronze
Get here in time when our day comes
You thought it was gold but it was bronze

Ps. As an eighteen year old I wanted Patty Donahue to really physically hurt me. And she loved cigarettes.
Here’s one of the great songs of the last century being sung by one of that century’s best singers, and if you pick up the references to earlier works in the video, maybe you’ll needs some tissues. A really beautiful rendition.

This song has been stuck in my head for over a month
The Valley of the Long Lost Women by John Cooper-Clarke
Disguise In Love 1978 (This Guy’s In Love)
I was only fifteen years old when I got into this and perhaps that explains a few things. Listen to the words!
