No wonder I only got 40 % _________________ Geddon
You simply mustn't blame yourself -- the days were perfect
And so were exactly what I was born to spoil
For I am the Rider to the World's End
Bound across the cinder causeway
From the furnace to the quarry

How rubbish am I at 90's music.....! My only excuse is I was producing kids in the 90's and was occupied with them....!
Hopefully better on 60's ...not really my era ..but ace musically...!
By the way I'm not actually ancient...younger than Morrissey (bless!) |
