    This is how real music is played LIVE! No bullshit, no light shows, no dancing girls or other distractions. Real musicians don't need that crap. These Toppies Rock!

    Classic Carly Simon. You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....



    Carly Simon's 1972 hit "You're So Vain" with lyrics below.

    LYRICS:

    You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
    Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
    Your scarf it was apricot
    You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
    And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
    They'd be your partner, and....

    You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
    You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
    Don't you? Don't you?

    You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
    Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
    and that you would never leave

    But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
    I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....

    You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

    Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
    Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
    Well, you're where you should be all of the time
    And when you're not you're with
    Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
    Wife of a close friend, and....

    You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

    O! What should have been. Freedom's Children was the best 1960'/70's rock band to come out of Africa, but was prevented from making inroads on the international stage because of politics. Being from Apartheid South Africa, they were refused a work permit and kicked out of Britain in the late 1960's. On their return, they recorded the brilliant "Astra" album for the small local audience.

    "The Home coming" was the second cut and describes how "Our astral ways have begun". This video is, as far as can be ascertained, the first real attempt that has been made to lend some visual imagery to this highly evocative soundscape. Look, listen and imagine what the world of music could have been like today if politics did not get in the way -- perhaps we would still have been "grooving" on astral rock. Definitely some of the best lost rock ever.

    To Ramsay Mackay, Julian Laxton, Colin Pratly, Gerard Nel, Nicolas Martens & Brian Davidson: we salute you!

    CHILD OF THE MOON *
    (Jagger/Richards)

    The wind blows rain into my face
    The sun glows at the end of the highway
    Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
    Oh, child of the moon
    Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

    She shivers, by the light she is hidden
    She flickers like a lamp lady vision
    Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
    Child of the moon
    Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

    The first car on the foggy road riding
    The last star for my lady is pining
    Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
    Oh, child of the moon
    Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced,
    Wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

    Another Rock classic!



    Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
    Line that's drawn between good and bad
    See the blind man shooting at the world
    Bullets flying, ooh taking toll
    If you've been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
    And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
    You'd better close your eyes, aahaouho bow your head
    Wait for the ricochet

    Excellent cover of the old Fleetwood Mac number originally sung by Stevie Nicks.

    sing your song sweet music man

    sing your song sweet music man,
    'cos I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
    I'm thro' with you.

    You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
    but you surround yourself
    with people who demand so little of you.

    You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
    you even had me singing along right with you,
    you said I need you.

    Then you changed the words and added harmony
    and you sang the song you had written for me
    to someone new.

    But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
    and nobody else could make me sing along
    and nobody else could make me feel
    that things are right when I know they're wrong
    ( that things are right when you're wrong with the song )
    nobody sings a love song quite like you.

    Sing your song sweet music man
    You travel the world with a six piece band
    that does for you what you ask 'em to.

    And you try to stay young
    But the songs you've sung to so many people
    they've all begun to come back on you.

    So sing your song sad music man,
    you're making your living doing one night stands,
    that prove to you they don't need you.

    You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man,
    but you'll keep on looking for one last fan
    to sing 'em to.

    But nobody sings ...
    So sing your song sweet music man
    I believe in you.
