I Love Lola (Still)

I still love my car, she has been in my possession for just over two years now and we have bonded over so many old cassette tapes, I am almost in tears now, we have rediscovered, Blondie, the full back catalogue of Iron Maiden, who doesnt want their mum collecting them from the Trafford Centre with "Run to the Hills"? my current tape is T'Pau, who I remember watching in Leeds around 1986, they were supporting Brian Adams, on the "Run to you tour" - or whatever it was called.... I remember it was a really cold night, but being only 19 I dressed in skimpy inappropriate clothes (no wonder I got pregnant) we were all so tired in the 1980's it was the stress of constantly backcombing our hideous hair does (more of a hair dont really) and pushing our sleeves up...... anyway none of that matters really, the fact is i came accross a gem of a cassette hardly used and for the princely sum of just 50p to sing China in your Hand all the way through after all these years has been emotional to say the least ..............

China in Your Hand
From the album Bridge of Spies by T'Pau
Written by Carol Decker and Ron Rogers...
Verse 1
It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
and the man was in
command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girls dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live again
Oh hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid
mind
Don't push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Come from greed
Never born of the seed
T
ook life from a barren hand
On eyes wide
Like a child in the form of a man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time
We take a flight on the wings of fantasy
Then you push too far
And make your dreams reality
Yeah! china in your hand
B
ut they're only dreams
And you shouldn't push too far
