Opening track on the legendary C86 NME cassette and 1 and 25 seconds of pure pop perfection....Number 4 in Peel's Festive 50....not bad for a b side....
Here she comes again
With vodka in her veins
Been playing with a spike
She couldn't get it right
Splendour in silver dress
Velocity possessed
The world was hers again
It fell apart again
Velocity possessed
The world was hers again
It fell apart again
I don't need anyone to hurt me
No, not anyone at all
Cause my so-called friends have left meNo, not anyone at all
And I don't care at all
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Classic, short but sweet Byrdsian magic from Bobby and co...bit of an influence on some Manc lads who just wanted to be adored....
