Anyone remember this by Slade, What was it about? i remember it somehow made sense back then, it makes no sense at all now, what was i on, was i better off on it than i am now, i,m sure i must have been.

Funny how songs from the early '70s which were really cool at the time somehow sound totally daft now.

Kay and I have a '70s compilation CD ("The Best Seventies Album In The World... Ever! II" - so clearly it's the second-best Seventies album in the world ). We cringe whenever T.Rex's "Hot Love" comes on.

"She's faster than most and she lives on the coast". What's that all about?

My friend Stan's got a funny old man
Oh yeh oh yeh
He makes him work all night
Till he can't do it right
Oh yeh aha

And from the way you blacked my eye
I know that you're the reason why
And from the way you fixed his tie
I see you're gettin' to him
Gettin' to him

My friend Jack's got an ache in his back
Ooh oh yeh
The Doc said he'd be fine, if he'd just take his time
Oh ooh

And from the way you blacked my eye
I know that you're the reason why
And from the way you fixed his tie
I see you're gettin' to him
You been gettin' to him

And from the way you blacked my eye
I know that you're the reason why
And from the way you fixed his tie
I see you're gettin' to him
You been gettin' to him

My friend Pete says his body is weak
Oh yeh aha
He told me he can't sleep and his temperatures steep
Oh yeh oho

And from the way you blacked my eye
I know that you're the reason why
And from the way you fixed his tie
I see you're gettin' to him, you been gettin' to him
You been gettin' to him, you been gettin' to him
Oh yeh
