195. Pulled along By Love by The Muttonbirds

The Mutton Birds - Pulled Along By Love

I was watching SBS the other night after a short burst of Eurovision when Rockwiz came on and the first guest was Don McGlashan the lead singer with The Muttonbirds. He played this wonderful song and it took me back to 199 when I was touting this song to all and sundry as the best thing to come out of New zealand ever. Trouble is I didn't know that quite a few of my friends were familiar with the band and I was like a Johnny come lately.
Still can't get over how good this song is just listening to it again. It's one of those songs where you just want to put it straight back on again.
And it gladly wiped away all memory of the Eurovision semi finals that were on before. I mean who writes those songs. There must be better songs and songwriters in those countries. Don't get me started......Back to the song and the great lyrics....

Down on the platform
Shapes in a sandstorm
Lines of faces
Keeping their secrets
They're thinking about the weekend
They're thinking about new clothes
They're thinking about touching
But everyone's watching

They're buttoned up against it
And all of the King's horses
And all of the five senses

And dreams so fleeting
Where the carpets are deep
And the ends are all meeting

And they're pulled along by love
They're pulled along by love
And they're pulled along by love
Pulled along by love
