Had a band once
Bass and drums
I sang and played piano
Craig played guitar
Always knew the tunes
Had the records made tapes
Kept dates
Never fell over once
Once when we were in the car
Listening back smiling
We felt surrounded by stars
Hey Craig do you still wear your guitar
Hanging down about your knees
Do you still throw up your window
To let out the old year
I remember once someone letting off fireworks
You out your window
Wondering where the war was
Bought a jacket scrolled
With Rock and Roll I never wore
You took it everywhere
Moved your sister's stuff in a van
Your mum drove us home again
Hey Craig the kids are growing up
You can be young again
Hey Craig let's say "the Shields is gallus"
One more time again
Hey Craig we'll stop the car now
And check the trees again
Hey Craig we'll do what we did badly
And do it bad again
Bad again
And I'll come back again
Bad again
And I'll come back again
Put this on an old tape
Lush were still bleeding through
Thought you'd understand that
It should have happened on this tape too

Deacon Blue è una band scozzese formatasi a Glasgow negli anni '80. Il gruppo, guidato dal talentuoso cantautore Ricky Ross, ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con il loro album di debutto *Raintown* (1987), che ha trascorso oltre 16 mesi nelle classifiche britanniche. L'album, incentrato sulla vita nell'urbanistica Scozia, ha generato tre successi top ten: "Loaded", "Chocolate Girl" e "Dignity". Il secondo album, *When The World Knows Your Name* (1989), sebbene più commerciale, non ha ricevuto lo stesso apprezzamento critico. Alcuni critici hanno accusato la band di aver ceduto al successo pop a discapito dell'integrità artistica. Nonostante ciò, il pubblico ha accolto positivamente l'album, che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche e ha prodotto tre successi top forty: "Real Gone Kid", "Fergus Sings the Blues" e "Wages Day". Deacon Blue è considerata una delle band più importanti della scena musicale scozzese degli anni '80.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
