‘Rubber Bullets’ and ‘Wall Street Shuffle’
came from Stockport Band – 10cc.
and ‘Giving It All Away’ was Roger Daltrey
without The Who, in 73.
Also in this year, ‘Walk On The Wild Side’
by the lovely, late Lou Reed.
And ‘Stop, Look, Listen (to your heart)’,
Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye did plead.
‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’ by The Stylistics,
and ‘Midnight At The Oasis’, from Maria Muldaur.
and ‘Albatross’ from Fleetwood Mac,
guaranteed a fab night, for sure.
‘When Will I See You Again’ sang The Three Degrees.
‘Ring Ring’ from Abba, came the reply.
‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’,
sang Elton John, as we waved our goodbye.
Whatever the era you lived through;
be it The Ritz or Mr Smiths, your feet found,
or the meeting place of the moment,
when none better, than Rowntrees Sound!
Or if Top Of The Town, your favoured venue,
and Takis along Oxford Road.
Or the infamous Oasis in Lloyd Street –
your much loved, borrowed abode.
The Swingin Sixties saw Manchester Buzzin
and through the 70’s, still heart and soul…..
And Slack Alice gained a welcome brother,
when Oscars, saw the dice roll.
