Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

Hey, i just heard this CD... 'Happy Doing What We're doing' by Elizabeth McQueen and the Firebrands...full of pub rock hits incl. Squeeze (annie get your gun). Brinsley Schwarz/Ducks Deluxe, Rockpile, Dave Edmunds, Dr Feelgood, Eddie amd the hotrods....it's really good.
Almost Blue is okay...but the version of That's It, I quit (written by Nick Lowe for the Feelgoods) is ace!

7. Almost Blue

She also covers If I Only Had A Brain , which I seem to remember Elvis riffing about recently.
