184. Making Time by The Creation

The Creation - Making Time (1966)

Mining for gold. One of the best things when you get into music and in particular genre music is discovering music you've never heard before and which is totally fabulous. Back in the late seventies as the Mod thing was just getting going in Melbourne and we were plundering the sixties for inspiration I came across this record. Totally mind blowing and very Who like but not in a sound alike way (which they do) but quite comparable and of the same standard. That it became a song that so many bands covered (including You Am I) is testament to it's greatness. It's just one helluva exciting record.
Again a single in my Jukebox I'm starting to think I ought go and get it repaired. The thing is so heavy though. My friend Poz and I were at a police auction in Port Melbourne. We saw the jukebox and Poz decided I should get it. Not even knowing if it worked (and it didn't) So he bid on it for me. And won. But then it was too heavy to get in his van. And it was murder to get up one step at my house. But it does look cool. and it's full of great sixties singles.

Making time

Shooting lines

For people to believe in

Things you say

Gone in a day

Everybody leavin'

Everybody leavin'

Why do we have to carry on?

Always singing the same old song

Same old song

The same old song

Tellin' lies

Closing your eyes

Making more excuses

Pullin' the wool

Actin' the fool

People have their uses

People have their uses

Why do we have to carry on?

Always singing the same old song

Same old song

The same old song
