Jona Lewie - You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties

Ooo, we didn't have anything for St Valentines.
Let me compensate you with this bitter-sweet 1980 hit.




I'm no good at chatting up and I always get rebuffed.
Enough to drive a man to drink I don't do no washing up.
I always reached the stuff piled up
a-piled up in the sink.

But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties.

Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home.
She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone

Living in my own. What am I supposed to do?

That's why always find him in kitchen at parties.
you will always find him in the kitchen at parties.
You will always find him in the kitchen at parties.

Then I met this debutante I said I like new wave rock.
She was into french cuisine but I ain't no cordon bleu.
This was at some do in palmers green
I had no luck with her.

You will still find him in kitchen at parties.
You will still find him in kitchen at parties.

At last I met a pretty girl she laughed and talked with me.
We both walked out of the kitchen and danced in a new way.

And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties.
I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

He's done his time in the kitchen at parties.
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties.

Magazine - My Tulpa

From the British post-punk band's album Real Life, 1978.

I suspect you ain't so sweet
as the lust I'm concealing
my skin wants to crawl back home to mom
I've lost my way in my feelings

You always collect your fists
when my shadow falls upon your hands
you're just giving body heat away
but they say you're a nice enough young man

I want to see you
don't you want to see me ?
I'm full of questions
you're full of mystery

You can touch yourself anytime
you can touch yourself anytime
so wretched - you are so fetching
stop smiling at me - treat me unpleasantly

You've got the whole world in your wardrobe
your furniture's made to injure me
my skin will crawl back home to Ma
when our souls mingle uneasily

I want to see you ...

Buddy Holly - Girl On My Mind

Today's the 50th anniversary of "the day the music died", that tragic day when buddy holly, ritchie valence & big bopper's little plane came crashing down, plunging the fans in an ocean of sorrow... especially this one.

oh, gu-huh-irl on my ma-hi-hi-ind...

Oh, girl on my mind
please come back to me
I love you with all my heart
with you I want to be

I want you to be near me
is that too much to ask
girl on my mind
please say you will be mine

You're the one and the only
you are mine to have and to love
no one could ask for more
you're mine to adore

Girl on my mind
please say you will be mine
