Love for “Blue Lines” here, and I agree.
It saved my life once, did I ever tell you about that? I had a long term girlfriend who qualified and then couldn’t get work in Scotland. Nearest place of work was in Newcastle, so the long-distance romance began.
Went on for about 2 years, but I’d began to have doubts about her/some of her excuses for not turning up….I’d bring up the subject of our future and she’d always convince me that she saw it with me.
Anyway….one day, just as she’s due to set off back home to Newcastle, she handed me the copy of Blue Lines she’d borrowed from me a few weeks ago, on CD….except I owned it on cassette 🙁
Pennies dropped over the next 2 weeks, and some not very exhaustive digging found she was f*cking not one but TWO other guys!! Welcome to Dumpsville, population= you!
So, if you ended up married to a lunatic ginger Pediatric nurse from Saltcoats, who’ll remain nameless- hopefully no-one on here married her?- I hope she’s changed.
Whoever recommended “I want to see the bright lights tonight”- its an album I’ve always meant to check out, and you’re right, Spotify tells me after one listen that I’ll be listening to it from hereon in. I thank you.
