Bohemian Rhapsody?
Great stuff Lee - thanks - rep on way!
Musically it is gorgeous - especially the opening. The story is a bit dated - and '1960's' kitchen sink.......so I prefer more timeless Squeeze stuff. ('Mussels' gets thru as it reminds of one holiday in Great Yarmouth).
....or "Bo Rap" as we call it......
It's actually just called 'Tempted' - at least that's wot it says on my 7incher.
Unfortunately that situation is not dated.probably the best track ever recorded.

Plus the first long single ever released.
Stairway to heaven was never released as a single.You've got a tattoo hidden away?

No - the situation maybe not be dated - although the detail in the narrative has dated. For example:
I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I aint forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be
We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The railway arms were missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up

If it's Clapham Common - maybe it would be more appropriate to be a gay relationship. Staying in "by the telly" - well maybe "on the web" might be more up to date.
I got a job with stanley
He said Id come in handy
And started me on monday
So I had a bath on sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said shed seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her
21st Century Update
He's be more likely to have a shower than a bath these days. And working 11 hours? Perhaps.... And given the situation - probably more likely to have an abortion these days.
I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her
21st Century Update
Putting away a tenner isn;t going to go that far these days.......and selling the telly? More likely buying a flat screen from what I've read on other threads......
Late evenings by the fire? Maybe radiators.....?
............etc.....
Still, a great song........
Gays were having fun on Clapham Common in 1979, well before the MP was sighted.Staying in "by the telly" - well maybe "on the web" might be more up to date.
[/quote] Soaps are evermore popular today and there's more of them than in 1979. Plus there's cable now.The English didn't bother much with baths or showers then. "You'll wash yourself away" they used to say.

He's be more likely to have a shower than a bath these days.Probably the same amount of abortions I would say.And working 11 hours? Perhaps.... And given the situation - probably more likely to have an abortion these days.Funny, I used to think a tenner was a bit stingy even in 1979 .

Putting away a tenner isn;t going to go that far these days.......Agree with you there, they have no selling on value these days.and selling the telly?Gas fires and real fires are popular today.Late evenings by the fire? Maybe radiators.....?Yeah, the bit I didn't agree with was that she gave birth in 30 minutes.............etc.....
Still, a great song........
