This one always reminds of late night radio, second hand vauxhalls and college girlfriends.
Late night radio back in the seventies was a thing of pure beauty. Songs would go on forever. This song came from the album Eldorado. I heard it first on the album show.
I was out on a date with a girl from teachers college. She drove because I didn't have a license yet. Though I had a car. 400 dollars worth of Datsun Bluebird. 1965 model. She had a white vauxhall viva.
I think we went out to the pizza parlour. But I don't remember that too well. I remember sitting talking outside my house in her car and listening to the radio. Then this song came on and we just listened. And then I kissed her goodnight.
I sat on the fence as she drove off. And that song was in my head. I must have sat on the fence for a long time. It was just a magic moment.
