Oh the 1970's!! I was 14 when this came out!! God I miss those days!! If we had one chance to go back to a time in our life!! Just one!! It would be then..I loved it..
This song is about having an affair and how everyone will spread the news in a small town unless they keep the relationship like sister and brother until alone together.
Its funny how people dont listen to the words ..like red light spells danger is about his addiction to prostitutes or mr brightside is about her cheating on him..had a few of these cheat songs be asked for first dance at weddings lol
Love this song, but I've always wondered - why keep it "like sister and brother"? Why can't they just stay something out loud? Somebody (somebodies) else in the picture, perhaps?
i LOVE the fact this is the first vid on utube ive come across without any dislikes!! 27 k views too - goes to show what a great song this really is! (i hope i dont jinx this now by saying that)
has any one got the album with the song im free for the rest of my life its there greatest hits the album was made in the 70s please get in touch couse noone knows which song i meam ta xx
Ah this is just beautiful.....I started High School when this hit the UK charts which would have been August 1973.........and it strums the old heartstrings as much now as it did then....thank you for posting sxitezza.
@GRAHAM5020 Your welcome Graham, it is rather good isn't it, one of the all time classics that you could never tire of hearing, hope all's good with you my friend...
@GRAHAM5020 We didn't and don't have "high school" in the UK. Why are you trying to pander to the Yanks?
We are the home of humanity. We had infant and junior schools. I'm proud of that. Let Speilberg and the other arseholes write films about our memories, and not the ones they make up for us.
Good songs like this were still around when I was born. Some may agreewith me, but the quality of music really began to decline about the time I left high school in the early 1990's. To this day, I prefer the songs from 1960 to 1980. Mum got me into a good thing by playing this sort of music when I was small.
@misswillow24 - this was a UK hit in late summer, 1973. My channel take you back in time with 111 playlists for every year since 1900, and 350 more lists for (imho) the best artists of the past century from around the world.
I was at that awkward 13-year old stage of my life when this was out - this really takes me back.
