Singular Band - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

Thinking lots of a pretty face

When we were yong, such smashing days

Wed pass the time in such pleasant ways

Happy just to be iiving-oh yeah!

Too many summers controlled our heads

Too many memories — so many dead

We fall behind but we also lead them

Listened all the time to a singular band

Put our resources into one appollo

We only had to watch and follow

Then swoop around like a possessed swallow

Thinking only of winning c oh yeah!

And all the iime defending ourselves

Brushed aside all the tempting sea-shells

Charging-up like battery cells

Looking all the time for a singular band

You and me getting everywhere now

On the land and in the air now

Got no worries of getting there now

(consider what were attempting-oh yeah!)

And now we have lots of pretty clothes

Many friends and many foes

Looking wonderful but heaven knows

Who will want us now were turning into singular band
