Hi everyone, well I am in this little phase right now of trying to right songs in a kind of more 'entertaining' style, less of the slightly gloomy introspection. I'm enjoying it!
Here's a song about a decade people either love or hate - the 1970s. If you were there I hope it brings back good memories. If you are too young to have been there, well I simply hope it captures a mood for you. Cheers for any feedback.

'My 1970's Girl'You were sat on your space hopper
Looking at your Mickey Mouse watch
As I rode by on my Chopper
Thought your Farah Fawcett hairdo was top notch
I said I like collecting stamps
You said you liked staring at lava lamps
When I took you home to see mine
And my mirror disco ball, I took my chance
CHORUS (with variations)I'm singing out cos I love you, I love you
My (Princess Leia/ Daisy Duke/ Charlie's Angel)
Ah my head’s a whirl
I'm singing out every (Abba/ Bee Gees/ Eagles) song for you
My 1970's girl
I'm singing out cos I love you, I love you
My vinyl 45s are all yours to twirl
I'm singing out every (Led Zep/ Bowie/ Blondie) song for you
My 1970's girl
We still cruise in our Cortina
On the windscreen, our names stickered ‘cross the top
Step out on the palm treed dance floor
In platform shoes an old guy should not bop
Still we do the Hustle smooth
YMCA, we remember the moves
Then you whisper you still love me
Trapped forever in our Seventies groove
We watch old TV
Mork and Mindy
Kangaroo Skippy
Fawlty Towers
This amazing colour TV is ours
Oh my 1970s girl
