The Sunday Golden hours show featuring the years 1972 & 1989 with DJ Steve Pressman PP 23.04.23 1

Steve Pratt's Men, the best music from the heart of Great Britain. Sunday, 1972. With a little while from now, I'm not feeling any less sad. I promised myself to treat myself to visit a nearby town. Climbing to the top, will throw myself off. In an effort to make clear to whoever what it's like when you're shattered, listening in, but that's not a church where people sing. My God, that's just, she stood him up. No point in us remaining. Today is well gone, as I did on my own, alone again, naturally. To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful bright and gay. Looking forward to what we wouldn't do, the role I was about to play. But as if to knock me down, reality came around. And without so much as a miracle, cut me into little pieces, leaving me to doubt. Talk about God in His mercy, if He really does exist. Why did He desert me in my hour of need? I truly am indeed alone again, naturally. It seems to me that there are more parts than in the world that can be mended, left unattended. What do we do? What do we do? guitar solo Alone again, naturally. Looking back over the years, whatever else has appeared. I remember I cried when my father died, never wishing to cry the tears. Sixty-five years old, my father, God rest his soul, couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved had been taken, leaving good to start with a heart so badly broken, despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken. When she passed away, I cried and cried all day, alone again, naturally. Alone again, naturally. guitar solo Oh girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now, cause I don't know where to look for love, I just don't know how. Oh girl, how I depend on you, to give me love when I need it, right on time, you would always be here. All my friends call me a fool, they say, let the woman take care of you. So I, try to be him, and think like the crowd, but even the crowd can't help me now. Oh girl, tell me what am I gonna do, I know I gotta kill my faith, girl I feel so out of place. Oh yeah, yeah. guitar solo Don't know where to go, who to see. guitar solo Oh girl, I guess I better go, I can save myself a lot of useless tears, girl I've gotta get away from here. Oh girl, pain will double if you leave me now, cause I don't know where to look for love, and I just, I don't know how. Oh yeah. guitar solo Oh girl, I don't know where to look for love, and I just, I don't know how. Oh girl, I guess I better go, I can save myself a lot of useless tears, girl I've gotta get away from here. Oh girl, Oh girl, the only way, I can save. guitar solo And our first go now features the year 1972. She packed my bags last night, we flight, zero out, nine a.m., and I'm gonna be high, as the kind I've been. I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife, and I don't wanna be out of space, on such a time, that's why. And I think I'm gonna be alone sometime, cause I'm done racing round again to find, I'm not the man, they think I am at home, I'm not alone, I'm a rockin' man, rockin' man, girl, the attitude I carry on. And I think I'm gonna be alone sometime, cause I'm done racing round again to find, I'm not the man, they think I am at home, I'm not alone, I'm a rockin' man, rockin' man, girl, the attitude I carry on. Mars ain't the kind of place, to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell, and there's no one there, to raise them, if you did. And all the science, I don't understand, it's just my job to find days a week, I'm a rockin' man, rockin' man.

Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me If you need a friend Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me Call me Some you remember, some you might not And some of you may not even have been born A long, long time ago I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died So bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you no And do you believe in rock and roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well I know that you're in love with him Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes And I digged those rhythmic blues I was a lonely teenage bronkin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now for ten years we've been on our own And Moss grows fat on a rolling stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the king was looking down The jester stole his hearty crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lennon read a book of Marx The quartets practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helped to shelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a call out shelter Eight miles high in the falling sand Landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the halftime air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh but we never got the chance The players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed the day The music died We started singing bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Jack, be nimble Jack, be quick Jack, flash that on a candlestick Because fire is the devil's only friend Oh and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in silver grates No angel born in hell Could break that Satan's spell And his flames climbed high into the night But to enlighten the sacrifice That's all right I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died We were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music Wouldn't play In the streets the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singing Bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die They were singing Bye-bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys Were drinking whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die The good old days Or some, some maybe not I don't know, it's up

which way to go But let me tell you, you are all that you see The minute I move in, it's way too slow I've been fooled before When life gave me love caught in the slamming doors I was bound from the installation scene Straight up now, tell me, do you really wanna love me forever When I'm caught in a hit and run Straight up now, tell me, is it gonna be you and me together Or are you just having fun I've got a feeling, feeling still Waiting for some more clues I keep getting chills When I think your love is true I've been fooled before When life gave me love caught in the slamming doors I was bound from the installation scene Straight up now, tell me, do you really wanna love me forever When I'm caught in a hit and run Straight up now, tell me, is it gonna be you and me together Or are you just having fun What's so hard to break If you play hide and seek If you're too intensive If you're only playing games I just have to say Do you love me, do you love me, baby Do you love me, do you love me, baby Do you love me, do you love me, baby Do you love me, do you love me, baby I've been fooled before When life gave me love caught in the slamming doors Are you more than half of me Or am I a tape in your history I don't mean to make demands But the words and the deeds go hand in hand How about some information, please Straight up now, tell me, tell me Straight up now, tell me, tell me
