I loved this song from the very first time I heard it on their American debut LP, which I got in the summer of 1965. Back then, it sounded very distinct and unusual and, listening again now, it still does - which is pretty damn cool for 46 years.
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.
It was a fantastic time to be a teenager, and growing up in England during this period. I was going to Parkurst Secondary High school at the time. At nights, and during the weekends, you could go to any of the tea shops that lined Tottenham High Road, and hear music like this blasting from the jukeboxes. It was the time of the mods & the rockers, it was the time of the British Beat Boom. It was truly a great era that will never again be repeated. Great bands, truly great music!
@eldorado62 That's right. We in America (and UK) from that period had received the best public education availible before or since. I had a band in middle school and we performed "Shapes of Things" by the Yardbirds for our school when we were 14! That's a deep fricken song about war. I have to say we were pretty unbelievably hip for doing that. High schoolers now are complete fucking morons. I know, I'm a high school teacher about to retire. Hopeless. Listen to "My Humps" if you don't believe it
@clarkewi That's too harsh a view you hold, and a teacher, but you had your time as a youth and you knew what was hip in your time, although I identify with the lament. But, if you can cite a song such as that as an over all example, then I must say that is not being objective.
I can never say things I need to when you're close beside(?) I wander(?) in my mind things that I just never can (?) Every night and every day I just can't go on this way, Things I had to show(?) will never see the light(?) I tried my best, I know there are mistakes here and there, so please, correct them, thank you. Also, I am not from that era, I was born in 1968.
I can never say thoughts which I was occupying my mind,
When the time is right words the thing that I can never find, When I had to part from you, my baby, it isn't true, It's only when you're gone-I didn't lose my mind, Things we use to have- they no longer seem to be the same, We have both found out that our own lives (?)isn't just a game, If I only could get through the words I want to say to you, Now and I've discovered I can't think(?)
Cool!!! I will listen to that stuff soon. I thing my dad has that stuff. I bought the Very Best Of, also very nice. But this tune is fuckin' brilliant! :-) Thanx for the info! :-)
Not too many bad songs from the Pretty Things; one of the unknown rock greats of the "British Invasion" of the 60's that unfortunately never rode the wave into America.
was also a big fan.I played the drums at that time and Viv Prince's work knocked me out.When The Who lost Keith Moon they were never the same, simarly,when The Pretty Things lost Mr.Prince at the end of 1965 that unique
raw brilliance was gone. Skip Allen was a capable drummer and tried to implement some
i was too young to know these song. Born 1960, was five at this time
This one ,perfect "a speed train rolling on " joyfull song.

They don't make songs like this anymore and there are certainly no bands nowadays that can match the old sixties bands for talent.

I love that early British R&B sound. The Stones, Them, Yardbirds and the Pretty Things. Listen to it all the time.

lyrics are hard to find :-(. My dad was a huge fan in the sixties. He still love The Pretty Thing. Top tune this is!!!
Musicguru1979 3 years ago
I am probably in the age group of your dad and
was also a big fan.I played the drums at that time and Viv Prince's work knocked me out.When The Who lost Keith Moon they were never the same, simarly,when The Pretty Things lost Mr.Prince at the end of 1965 that unique
raw brilliance was gone. Skip Allen was a capable drummer and tried to implement some
of Viv's ideas however,...well I don't want
to be negative, just listen carefully to the
64-65 stuff (5 tracks B.B.C.) as well. Enjoy

Whell....Agreed, V.P. was something else.
But S.Allen, to these days was more than
a capable replacement,he was the PERFECT
replacement.
ByZéWay....this song was also one of my
favourites,but here in Europe anyway,this
was the flipside to Honey I need.♫
