          Trilogy - Emerson Lake and Palmer - 1972


          Why do you stare
          Do you think that I care?
          You've been mislead
          By the thoughts in your head

          Your words waste and decay
          Nothing you say
          Reaches my ears anyway
          You never spoke a word of truth

          Why do you think
          I believe what you said
          Few of your words
          Ever enter my head

          I'm tired of little grim freaks
          With tongues in their cheeks
          Turning their eyes as they speak
          They make me sick and tired

          Are you confused
          To the point in your mind
          Though you're blind
          Can't you see you're wrong
          Won't you refuse
          To be used
          Even though you may know
          I can see you're wrong
          Please, please, please open their eyes
          Please, please, please don't give me lies

          I know all of the earth
          Witness my birth
          Cried at the sight of a man
          And still I don't know who I am

              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                Wuthering Heights by Kate's Bush IIRC

                Then a Tubeway Army album (well, cassette).

                  Very embarrassing.

                  I won a £2 voucher at a fete. Think I was about 12 and no idea what music I liked. So I took it to the record shop and exchanged for what happened to be number 1 and number 2 at the time.

                  1. Goombay Dance Band - Seven Tears
                  2. Ebony and Ivory - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.

                  Very soon afterwards I decided I was a nutty girl, and I think the first record I actually went out and chose was one of theirs. I remember I had the 'Driving in my car' picture disc - no idea what happened to it.

                    Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home


                    It was the only decent Dylan album that my brother didn't have.

                      And it came with a load of little cut-out figures which have sadly disappeared over the years:



                      And the last album, actually a CD:

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
