pmsumner at 09:54pm on 03/08/2001Currently listening to one of the best albums from the late eighties/early nineties that I know of: Simply Red's "A New Flame". Yes, this is truly excellent stuff, especially when you compare it to what SR have pumped out in the last 3yrs or so, which has been utter crap (everything from "Fairground" onwards, really.
A New Flame (current song) for example. Starts out as a powerful tango-style song, and has moments of utter excellence in the chorus. "You've Got It" - *gasps*. I haven't heard this for years. Hang on... *searches*
I'm very easily pleased, huh?YOU'VE GOT IT
This impossible power
A strength that I can't see
There's no way
That I can let you go
Why did I mistake sex
For another sense
Then wanted someone else
To try to tell you no
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
This impossible power
Has broken into me
And stolen all the sense
That I had before
Why did I just take
And never understand
The love you've given me
Could've learnt me more
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
I think you understand
That you've got it
What made you think
That I'd be true to you
I needed to
Prove it to myself
That I could let you go
What made you think that
I'd be a fool for you
You knew that I was lying
There was something
I was hiding
I think you understand
Oh that you've got it
Well I try hard but I can't
Oh do without it
