The Korgis-If I Had You #289.*T*O*T*Ps*70s*

The Korgis-If I Had You
The other day I saw you walking
You looked as pretty as a peach
You looked so near
But yet somehow
You're out of reach

I could change the world
If I had you
I could change the world
If I had you

My daddy told me not to worry
He said: "Son, it always comes
To he who waits"
But as I wait I fear sometimes
"Oh no, it's too late"

I could change the world
If I had you
I could change the world
If I had you


I could change the world
If I had you
I could change the world
If I had you

Transports me immediately back to the summer of 1979 when me and a mate used to sing it about a girl we both fancied but didn't have the bottle to do anything about. Well we were both only 13

[Bluevelvetglove]

And today? Have you ever met her again to sing this song to her ;-)

It would be a great experience.

Have a nice weekend!

This song takes me back to a time when my life was uncomplicated and I was somewhat innocent. No facebook, no Youtube, not twitter, just TOTP and the charts on Radio 1.

70-s i remebered my teenageyears.....

[chancergordy]

@chancergordy, immediately. we embraced each other straight away, we hugged for ages, she was sobbing with joy, I was sobbing because I took an erection and it was jammed against my knee cap! She told me how she'd never forgotten what I looked like,. A face like a young Eric Roberts, a stud who could outlast a duracell bunny on viagra with an organ bigger than Klaus Wunderlich's!

which was a pity coz I ended up looking like Albert Tatlock, an old, boring fart!

just made that bit up too!

Bye!

[chancergordy]

@laramut. sorry! left it hanging there to see when someone would react!

Well, I introduced myself to her brother but he hadn't a clue who I was, when I told him he vaguely remembered me.

She's married with 2 kids and stays about 30 miles away in Kirkcaldy.

She's fine and her brother will say I was asking for her when he sees her. Haven't seen him since.

Alternative version. Well. turns out she worked there too so her brother phoned her to come and see who was with him. she recognised.me..

[laramut]

@chancergordy come on , you cant leave it there , what happened when you caught up with her brother ????????????  is it all back on !!!

[chancergordy]

I love this song but it makes me feel so guilty. I was going out with a girl, we were both 19, anyway we fell out and she seemed keen to make up and get back together, I just wouldn't do it, we had fell out a few time previously and I was determined that was it!. She would phone me, in tears wanting to make up and I was horrible, not nasty, just determined not to give in.

Her Mum phoned, her friends, I was cruel.

I recognised her older brother last year, got talking to him and guess what?

[junkman19571]

@jonbonhamful what happened,it sounds like you've got a sad story to tell....sorry if i'm bringing back memories....

[jonbonhamful]

There's this girl who i fell in love with at first sight, unfortunately circumstances mean that i'll never get the chance to tell her. how i'd love to sing this song to her.

[TheKenfig]

@mattaddick Oh yeah, I'd never have enough space to mention them all so I just said a few from the summer ; there was 'Accidents will happen' by Elvis Costello too, 'Boys Keep Swinging' by Bowie, 'Night Owl' Gerry Rafferty, 'Dance Away' and 'Angel Eyes' by Roxy Music, 'Beat The Clock' by Sparks, 'Lone Ranger' Quantum Jump, 'Sunday Girl' Blondie and 'Voulez Vous' / (a different) 'Angel Eyes' by ABBA all during that summer too

[mattaddick]

@TheKenfig - you're dead right '79 was a great year for music - the other songs I'd add to that list are 'Up The Junction' Squeeze - 'When You're Young' - The Jam 'Back of My Hand' The Jags - listening to this song again I'd say it is very inspired by a certain Mr Lennon - shades of Number 9 Dream and other stuff from the Walls and Bridges era

[TheKenfig]

@mattaddick Ah, the summer of 1979 eh ?. What a time to be 16 years old. Tubeway Army 'Are friends', The Police 'Cant stand losing', B A Robertson 'Bang Bang', Boomtown Rats 'Dont like Mondays', Cliff 'We dont talk anymore', Ian Dury 'Reasons to be cheerful', Sham 69 'Hersham Boys', Joe Jackson 'Is she really going out with him' etc etc
