Dave Edmunds - Queen Of Hearts (Top Of The Pops 1979)

Dave Edmunds - Queen Of Hearts (Top Of The Pops 1979)

"Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
If it's only for a very short time

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Baby, it makes me feel so bad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
And baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Lovers, I know you've had a few
You hide your heart beneath the covers
And you tell 'em they're the only one
And others know what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover
When you say you only do it for fun

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

To keep me away from you
To keep me away from you

(Repeat)"

I THOUGHT A GURL SANG THIS

This is a tough call. I grew up listening to Juice Newton's version of the song here in the USA; this version by Edmunds is equally good.

Dial-a-disc?

I couldn't sell the phone but I sold some discs. Two of them, what a program too, I can tell you.

Perpetual motion discs, LOL.

I remember dialling 16 on the telephone (Dial-a-Disc?)and buying it for my first girl friend,whom I went on to marry.Sure i still got it somewhere.

I believe there were contractual reasons why Nick Lowe is not seen clearly in the video - it's the opposite way round if you watch Cruel to be Kind where Dave Edmunds is not seen clearly. The band on both records is the same (Rockpile), but because Lowe and Edmunds were contracted to different labels they had to give the appearance of being solo records rather than Rockpile recordings.

@gscwallace You and me both - spot on !
