Because half way through the song the band give way to an lone acoustic guitar and Mike Peters sings...
"Mersey lights shine, shine bright in the distance,
where are you now my friend?
You see, some nights when I can't sleep I still think of you,
of all the promises, all the dreams we shared.
I know those lights still call to you
I can hear them now, I can hear them now
Still shining for you...
Let then shine''
And then the band come powering back.
And its 1986 for me all over again.
Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground by Beth Rowley
Because quiet songs are best heard loud. And it features Duke Special and his beautiful Belfast accent.
Come A Long Way by Michelle Shocked
Because I find it an irresistible 'story song' that always transports me away and makes me feel I know what its like to 'travel for miles and never leave LA' and then 'stop for coffee at an art cafe.'
And I just love it when Michelle sings 'I shimmied up' with the double snare drum.
