(The Big Express - 1984)

Hot as golden sand in fields

We whiled away the hours

I'm thinking of the days we had

Enormous super powers

Yes I'm sleeping, my mind's on the blink

I thought a page, like it's written in ink

When I remember distant days

I remember many things, but

Most of all, I remember the sun

Squinting at the sun through eyes

Screwed up by a fireball

Tarmac on the road is soft

Chaff burns in a smokewall

Yes, I weeping, a teardrop attack

I give emotion at the drop of a hat

When I remember days at school

I remember many things, but

Most of all, I remember the sun

Sun that worked on overtime

Fuelled our bodies, kindled fire in our minds

Burning scars soon disappear

Like heat that hangs like water on the road

But most of all, I remember the sun.

One of Colin Moulding's best songs and pure jazz like Andy's song Ladybird. Thanx for the sound quality.

Yes. Normally, Andy sang lead on the songs he wrote and Colin sang lead on the songs he wrote ;)

@saguaroboy I think "jahzz" diminishes what this band and its songwriters do - Way beyond and better than all the drab jazz I've ever heard.

Brilliant splashing breaking crashing stars fusion make crushing yearning power flash sprinklesparks meandering flush emotivation mnemonic mesmerizes mind... No words can create the feeling this stunning jazz/pop mind-explosion evokes. I've been looking for it since the mid-90s, when it disappeared from radio. Thank God somebody found it and posted it here! I thought it was a post-apocalyptic memory/wish made under dead, broken skies--or underground?--but it's a schoolchild's blazing memory!

@AMPSHOWS They did listen to Steely Dan. I'm not sure how much Andy and Colin were into them, Dave liked them a lot though.

Kinda the Brit Steely Dan I'd say!
