no takers on this one either:

>with a blood curdling "tallyho" she charged into the ranks

>and blessed all those grandmas

>who with their dying breath scream "THANKS"

here are the lyrics that precede it and kind of set the context:

well theres twenty thousand grandmas

wave their hankies in the air

burning up their pensions

and shouting 'its not fair!'

theres a regiment of soldiers

standing, looking on

and the queen is bravely shouting

'What the hell is going on?"

it is a relatively little known (I guess) song from one of the classic LPs of all times, in my book anyway

Summer of '72. I'll never forget it.

That was a big one for me too- my family moved from Los Angeles to Joseph, Oregon (pop.870)

fortunately I was able to find them

bah-dump! :lol:

I'm not going to say that you are wrong, but one would have to more specific to earn a point. This "British outfit" is a well respected name in it's genre.

Speaking of Cortina's

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

Never cop a parking ticket
Never seem to show its age
Speed police too slow to nick it
Grey Cortina got it made

no google-cheating :angry:

Yes on both. I think Wishbone Ash was underappreciated, myself.

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
