Trying to get away


Originally recorded by 'Phantom, Rocker & Slick' (2/3rds of The Stray Cats, & a part-time Davic Bowie guitarist)
For some (copyrights?) reason, YouTube won't show the 'P, R & S' film in the UK, so here's Lee Rocker doing it

The Killing OF Georgie - Rod Stewart


"Pa said, "There must be a mistake
How can my son not be straight
After all I've said and done for him"

Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
Cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems"

[Richard A Thackeray]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind
I Straddled that Greyhound,
and rolled in into Raleigh and all across Carolina

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill
And we never was a minute late
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown
Rollin' out of Georgia state

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle,
Half way 'cross Alabam
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham

Into the valley - the skids

Brilliant track, & deserves the YouTube clip
They could also do ballads too, try A Woman In Winter

Stuart Adamson, still missed as a guitarist, & here he's perfecting the sound that personified Big Country

Oddly, Dave didn't produce this LP (Information) himself, Jeff Lynne (of ELO fame) twiddled the knobs
