I have been going on about running quite a lot recently and so I can’t remember if it was on my Facebook page ( dig me eh ) or in an email last week that I highlighted a song I had heard the other day whilst out for a jog around Canary Wharf. I was feeling a bit lumbersome (? I get the dreaded red line underneath but I like the sound of the word so I will stick with it), indeed you might say I was plodding, until the radio station I was listening to, rattling off a series of ‘80’s numbers, played a song by Kirsty MacColl – A New England. Within seconds I was charging along like a mad man in time to the music. Try it! It’ll work for you too I have no doubt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fwtFSEovro
Anyhow sad boy that I am I bought it on iTunes and having collected Hen from somewhere or other excitedly I put it on to play it to her in the car. She quite liked it, truth be told, and, emboldened by this, I started singing along. She looked at me quizzically. “Who did you say sang this one?” she said. “Kirsty MacColl” I replied. “Let’s leave it that way then shall we Dave?” was her mildly crucifying response!
