| Dire Straits – Lady Writer Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Absolutely correct. I am almost certain that I saw the same interview with Marina Warner on a TV culture programme that inspired the song. She was an extremely attractive and engaging woman (hey, she still is) and I remember a friend and I being very taken with her. It was quite a surprise when the song came out and we found it expressed our thoughts to a great extent. | |
| The New Vaudeville Band – Green Street Green Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Green Street Green is a district on the edge of Orpington in the outer London suburbs, and I lived near there when the song came out. Nothing in the song in any way relates to the place* and I remember the band saying at the time that they had never been there. *except for it being kind of groovy of course |
