I think they were around at the same time as

Only Living Boy
in Bellshill is pure brilliant.
Of course,
they were originally going to call it Only Living Boy In New Stevenson but soon realised that it would knock the iambic pentameter all out of kilter. How right they were. They now live in Cranhill in the same sheltered housing complex as my uncle John.

All You Need Is Hove
xxx
I feel somehow
that I should be there. If only I had known a little sooner. However, when I meet the guys tomorrow night, instead of my usual pint of Guinness, I will have something a little more 'Californian' - Pina Colada? This won't go down well (with my chums). Are there any alternatives? I don't drink spirits as a rule.
Tecate beer
would be most appropriate I suspect or Dos Equis cerveza, or wait :
In the cantina margueritas keep the spirits high
There I watched her....
Bit of poetic licence there?
Tell you what, you have the margueritas and I'll have Margarita and a pint of Guinness. I'm sure Brian and Van Dyke will approve.
Hope the gig goes well tomorrow. Do Barbara Ann for Wee Ted.
