A beautiful song from the album "Never for Ever". The song is dedicated to her lighting engineer Bill Duffield, who died in a tragic accident at Poole Arts Centre on April 2, 1979.

Lyrics:

One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B

Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away

Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.

Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.

Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.

Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious,
Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.

  • Laikalady, "moony" refers to Keith moon, from led zepplin

  • @MariposaGirl1981 No, Keith Moon was in The Who. Led Zeppelin's drummer was John Bonham.

  • Who was "Moony?" Who was the second "Vicious" for? So many questions about this Katie lady :)

  • @laikalynx "Moony" is Keith Moon and "Vicious" is Sid Vicious. I don't know why she mentioned him twice.

  • possibly Kate's greatest song..and she namechecks the wonderful Sandy denny.Did kate ever cover a sandy song? Imagine her doing "who knows where the time goes"?

  • @erniebeggs No, not as far as I know. The only female singer I know Kate has covered was Tina Turner. She sang "Nutbush City Limit" a few times in 1977.

  • This artist is unique,there will never be another KB,nothing even close.

  • A lot of people forget how strong the "Never For Ever" album is...every track just gorgeous, with a shimmering production. You can barely find the CD in the racks, and it's never been remastered or given the various 2-disc "deluxe editions" every other album seems to have received these days. I, for one, would love to hear an outtake or demo of this amazingly beautiful track...I feel like I'm floating every time I hear it, and the lyric is *so* heartfelt.

  • The 2 vicious is for Sid & Nancy

  • @thegroove2000--I know it's been 4 months, but there wouldn't BE a Lady Gaga w/o Kate...

  • This is just absolutely magic. Beautiful magic.

  • I do also enjoy the fact that it was her sound engineer (Correct me if I am worng, Symph!) that invented the hands free mike. He took a bendable mike and wrapped around a coat hanger that was used for the headband.

  • never heard of this artist but this song is hott!!

  • perfect...

  • @VashDraven not really, dont underestimate the art of sampling. thats how i know it too. ive found loads of great songs by looking for samples used

  • Lady ga ga WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?
