my hard knocks came the day you walked out

Link Wray - Girl From The North Country (1965) (buy)

This is one of my favourite intros of any song. Ever.

David Bowie - Let Me Sleep Beside You (1969) (buy)

I'm a big, lazy softy. I'm pretty sure there is nothing more romantic than dozing away the day together.

This track was recorded for the Dave Lee Travis Show in October '69, but never made it to air until it was released on his At The Beeb compilation.
