hey greg ..every year, near xmas ..you could put on a big show ..and it would sell out.

you could have ross wilson , tony williams ..and a couple of young turks as special guest vocalists ...

and we could relive our youth ...what says you ?

This has always been my favourite Hooks song, with an unusually melancholy lyric from Mr Macainsh.
