Canciones : Starry eyes

Propongo una píldora de la felicidad para comenzar el sábado.El primer single de The Records grabado para Virgin en el año 1979 .Starry eyes podría ocupar lugar de honor en cualquier lista de canciones de power pop de la historia. Herederos de los Kursaal Flyers , lograron su primer hit con esta golosa melodía , después llegaría el LP "shades in bed". .

Casualidades del destino , John Wicks acaba de estar de gira, " power pop kings " , con Paul Collins .

Comparemos la canción con su " inspiración " , criatura engendrada por otra gran Banda del Pub Rock " , "do anything you wanna do " de los Hot Rods .

Salto en el tiempo de treinta años...

While you were off in France, we were stranded in the British Isles.
Left to fall apart amongst your passports and your files.
We never asked for miracles, but they were our concern.
Did you really think we’d sit it out and wait for your return?

I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way!

While you were on the beach, were you dreaming all about your share?
Planning to invest it all to cover wear and tear?
We paid for all the phone calls. The money’s off the shelf.
Don’t you know that while you’re gone away, I’ve got to help myself?

I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way!

While you were in the pool, we were meeting with the boys upstairs,
Talking to the money men, and carrying out affairs.
We had no time for cocktails, or working up a tan.
The boys have all been spoken to. The writ has hit the fan.

I don’t want to argue. I ain’t gonna budge.
Won’t you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don’t want to argue. There’s nothing to say.
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way
