Deacon Blue – Wake Up And Dream Lyrics 15 years ago
This, and many others, should be under "Ricky Ross" - not Deacon Blue

Anyway, the first part of the song is about the time immediately following the death of his father, the rest (from the politician reference onwards) is about the late Sir John Smith (Labour)

David Gray – Jackdaw Lyrics 16 years ago
Can't believe there was ever doubt as to whether this would make the album.
IMO it's one of his best ever songs. Awesome arrangement.

A hankering to early (lost) innocent love, I guess the "we can rise above our pettiness and love like we ain't loved before" is relevant and of course "pining for lost innocence"

Simon.
