Flamin' Groovies - Yesterday's Numbers
Off of their third album, Teenage Head, which many "retro-critics", people who give modern critiques of old albums, call one of the best albums of 1971. Too bad its sales didn't match even the positive reviews of the time.
I'm also including a song off of their first album, "Supersnazz"
Flamin' Groovies - Laurie Did It
By the way, don't look online for the lyrics. What few sites have them just copied from each other and they are all wrong.
I met her at the station
She wasn't there on time
I told her I was frantic
She said that she was flying
Oh Laurie, she did it so well
There was a time on Tenth Street
Above the laundromat
I said, "Please stand beside me"
That's exactly why she sat
Oh Laurie, she did it so well
I remember a night in August
Looking up at the sky
When the silence lasted longest
And she wanted to die
Terrified and lost I wandered
Through the ruins we made
Longing to relive the night we laid
Let us congregate in silence
To the spot where Laurie lies
Curse the brown grass she waits under
And toss insults at the sky
Oh Laurie, you know she did it so well
Oh Laurie, she did it so well ...
