Dansette Lyrics by Chris Rainbow

Looking Over My Shoulder

1978

When Suzie bought the dansette
Oh the world was bengay
Bob was just a simple song
Not like it is today

We doffed our hats to Larry
On a summer holiday
In dreams of magic moments
As young lovers run away

Oh, where did they go?
Years that seem so slow
Elvis was the king
Oh boy, I wanna sing
A member of the TTDC took his music seriously

Oh, where did they go?
Years that seem so slow
Peaches on the shore
Are ready, steady, go
And plastic lives to tell the tale about
The sounds that never failed

Well, I've still got the dansette
But Suzie's gone away
It's ten years since I've seen her
I've forgotten anyway
But now and then, I take a trip
And a put a platter on
To relive all the memories
That music makes so strong

Bringing back those memories (Bring back those memories)
That music has made so strong
Bringing back those memories (Bring back those memories)
That music has made so strong
Bringing back those memories (Bring back those memories)
That music has made so strong
Bringing back those memories (Bring back those memories)
That music has made so strong
Bringing back those memories (Bring back those memories)
That music has made so strong
