This arguably is the best of Roy Wood...a sadly underrated talent...possibly one of the best songwriters this country has ever produced, without a doubt
A truly wonderful and ridiculously under-rated song from a truly great performer (who curiously looked a bit like one of my cousins at the time!)- only 3,180 or so views for a marvellously talented singer-songwriter who also played all his own instruments- wonderful!
@john8pies very true, a beautiful and quirky love song, should be far better known and heard more, the man was/is a very fine musician who gave us some smashing little songs
I was engaged to a wonderful young lady called Alaine at the time this record came out in the UK, this was one of our songs. Sadly she went off with my "best" mate. They married and are now divorced. She remarried.
OMG. Clive, thank you so very much. I love it. You're so awesome. On a scale of 1 to 10 you're a 20. Remember..lol...Never forget the 20. Elaine Marie ( I just had to put that in ) And leighJW thanks for posting this so Clive who is a 20 could send it to me. Talk later Clive!!!
What a talented musician. As my wife is called Elaine this is extra special for me. The Move were really under-rated in my view.

Although the song is all about forgiveness, can't think why i might have to use that already ?
Lot of tricky chords there too Roy, i shall do my best.

I just met for the third time, a very sweet lady named Elaine.
I shall learn this on the piano for her.
