I forgot it was on, missed most of it.

 

Stuck in the Middle has to be the best ever songs of it's type and the stories I've heard Connolly tell about his times with Rafferty would suggest that things are a little duller now without such a character.

One of his best imo

 

 

Royal Mile (Sweet Darlin')

I remember the sound of the passing train

 

As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain

 

And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.

 

 

 

And we walked in the sun down the royal mile

Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled

 

And she cried in the night and I heard her say 'Don't go'.

 

 

 

What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away

 

Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay

 

Lyrics www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/gerry_rafferty/

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

 

 

 

In the light of the day I was rolling home

 

I was thinking of you waiting on your own

 

And I wanted to call but then something said 'Oh no'.

 

 

 

Yeah but now it's a dream, it's a memory

 

But I'll never forget what you gave to me

 

I was lost and alone but you made feel ok.

 

 

 

What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away

 

Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay

 

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

 

 

 

I remember the sound of the passing train

 

As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain

 

And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.

 

 

 

What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away

 

Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay

 

What can I do, sweet darlin'?

City to City is one of those rare albums that automatically conjures up a particular time and place. Loved it at the time.
