Thank you Tom, glad you like them - not an easy choice from that period - Burt Bacharach & David Hal penned sooooo many great songs - want to put in Dusty Springfield - Son Of a Preacher Man but save it for another day eh.Quote:

Shaun Ryder, the Happy Mondays songwriter who immortalised the phrase “You’re twistin’ my melon, man”, has announced a book collecting lyrics from across his four-decade career.
Faber will publish Wrote for Luck in their lyrics collection series, which has also published anthologies of works by Kate Bush, Jarvis Cocker and Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant.
It will feature the lyrics to 30 of Ryder’s songs – among them presumably Step On, the Happy Mondays’ cover of John Kongos’s 1971 single that gave them their first Top 10 hit – accompanied by commentary from the Salford songwriter. Ryder’s insouciant songwriting conveyed a lyrical swagger that prompted the late Factory Records boss Tony Wilson to declare Ryder “on a par with WB Yeats”.
Ryder formed Happy Mondays alongside his brother Paul, Mark Day and Gary Whelan in 1980, with Mark “Bez” Berry and singer Rowetta joining the band later on. Combining the influences of rave culture, funk and psychedelia, they were signed to Factory Records and released their first EP for the label in 1985. They followed the Martin Hannett-produced Bummed (1988) with Pills ’n’ Thrills and Bellyaches in 1990, which was considered a cornerstone of the Madchester movement. The group split in 1993 owing to Ryder’s substance abuse, and Ryder and Bez formed the group Black Grape. Happy Mondays reformed two subsequent times.
The 2002 film 24 Hour Party People covers Ryder’s youth and the group’s ill-fated attempt to record their fourth album – 1992’s Yes Please! – in Barbados with producers Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz of Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads. The trip was designed to get Ryder away from heroin. He ended up taking crack cocaine. When the band ran out of money, they began selling furniture from the studio. Ryder wrote no lyrics on the trip.

I have to confess to being a heathen, i could never get into Classical Music - i appreciate it for what it is but it just doesn't float by boat.
