the roches were great maggie , terre , and suzy !!!!!!!!A song for the cold weather.
The fit is generous and loose
The coat is filled with down of goose
Should I feel guilty about that?
I wouldn't wear the fur of a cat
The coat is black so in New York City
It doesn't look dirty it stays pretty
The cuffs are purple which perfectly suits
A pair I already had of boots
Can't help sharing on a personal note
A secret I have concerning the coat
One of the reasons that it got my vote
Is the way it lies open around the throat
For me the collar mustn't come too high
Because well all right my skin is dry
So each morning I rub my face with oil
And the fabric you see the grease could soil
Can we speak a moment about the lining?
After my own heart's designing
It's nylon so your skirts don't wind
Up in a bunch around your behind
When the time comes for the coat to clean
You throw this thing in the washing machine
Drying you doubt but the filling does fluff
I'm here to proclaim this coat is enough
The length of the coat is below the knees
So in the cold your legs don't freeze
I'm nuts about another one of its charms
There's plenty of room underneath the arms
The coat's not bulky it weighs about an ounce
And it's practically void of any frivolous flounce
I will admit it has shoulder pads
All things considered it's not so bad
It looks all right even from the side
I guess because the bottom isn't overly wide
Okay so you say you'd prefer something hipper
But can I just tell you about the zipper
I searched for it for many years
Last one I had I tore up in tears
It turned me into Jack the Ripper
But now I stepped in Cinderella's slipper
It runs from the gullet to just south of the crotch
And workin' it's a task you can hardly botch
It's made of a material that will not rust
It won't get stuck you don't get fussed
It undoes easily in the usual way
But you can also pull it up if you'd like to, let's say
Sit down on the train or climb some stairs
Your desire to bend this coat about shares
There's snaps as well which I don't even use
But they beat out buttons if I had to choose
I remember the night I went to the store
Fighting my way across the cloak-stuffed floor
Suffocating I was it seemed
When from a rack this last hope beamed
Of all my requirements I pursued the trail
To find furthermore the **** thing was on sale
It had a small chain at the back of the neck
So you could hang it on a hook but it broke what the heck
With the end of each sleeve I'm totally smitten
Ample space for to emerge a thick mitten
If you wanna be warm it wins far and away
It's like walkin' around in your bed all day
I know you're not supposed to be so fond of a thing
But today this is my heartfelt inspiration to sing
I hope you don't think I'm merely trying to be clever
I wish this coat would last forever

at 13 it seemed an eternity -- looking back now was a mere flash and the pan (aussie band debuted in 1979 --LOL )13 to 19! That's an eternity! At 13 probably God Only Knows by the Beach Boys (still their best song imo), at 19 probably Yours is no Disgrace by Yes. In between at 16 probably Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower.
Cherry Red by the Groundhogs was going to be my favourite track of forever at one time (1971)but times change new stuff comes along but .... those favourite moments never leave .... I can still listen to that and all the other stuff that was going to forever be my favourite even this one that me and my mates would hum on the way to school 1962) I would have been nine ......... forerunner of Hawkwind and Silver Machine?
That they were mate@Mike D -- sutherland brothers and quiver were absolutely fantastic -- you got me anyway is a classic -- and the pie --immense - steve marriott rocks
@JACKTHELAD - so true -- the favourite moments never leave
@tim2000s -- some great names in that list
Slightly digressing . My dad used to say that when he returned home and opened the door, he knew straight away which of my older brothers were home ( oldest was 12 when I was born), because if the music playing on their record player
I remember sitting down to breakfast one morning (early 70s) and turning up loud "Rebel Rebel" by DB on my dad's radio and singing long ... and I had a really GOOD voice for harmonies and pitch
My mum loved it cos I could really rock. My dad, not happy.
my mother just thought all music was the equivalent of devil worship --LOLI remember sitting down to breakfast one morning (early 70s) and turning up loud "Rebel Rebel" by DB on my dad's radio and singing long ... and I had a really GOOD voice for harmonies and pitch

i was introduced to music very young -- my dad was always playing classical or the musicals
and my next door neighbour ( who was 3 years older than me ) bought every single that charted back in the early / mid 60's and carried on doing that until at least the mid 2000's
he now has one of the largest collections of Billboard top 100 vinyl in the USA and many DJ's use him as a reference
Would of loved to have seen that Mike, aawwww
seen the bowiemeister twice -- 75 young americans and 87 - glass spider -- one of my heroes.... and it's only now I appreciate how tolerant he really wasIt was the "hot tramp, I love you so" with me and an air guitar (the spoon for porridge) and a perfect pitch that got him switching the dial. I was a bit of a rebel
