100. There is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths 1985


For my 100th post I had to go with something magical.  Many times we'd save this song until last at the Lizard lounge. Many are the times I've danced to it. Especially when the Friday nights weren't going too well and we put on these kinda sad brilliant songs on to complete the night. Whoever was there would get up though and dance.

I was driving a girl back to her house in Elwood one night after Rubber Soul had finished and we had gone for a few drinks at the Jump Club in Collingwood. I was driving along the Upper Esplanade towards Elwood (a suburb I didn't know existed at the time!) when I asked her where we were going. This song was on my car stereo. She said  quietly "I don't want to go home!". It just fitted in perfectly with song. Though it did produce an air of melancholy to the night. I felt like I was in a Smiths film clip.
