Re: A-Z of Rock Legends
Middle Of The Road - who can forget those early 70's musical revolutionaries with their breathtaking new concepts in harmony and melody, allied to darkly perceptive lyrics dealing with the angst of parental loss.
"Last night I heard my mama singing this song,
oh-we, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep,
woke up this morning and my mama was gone,
oh-we chirpy chirpy cheep cheep,
chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp."
Almost Byronesque in its understated, yet chillingly vivid poetic elegance.
It goes without saying that it was a significant influence on the young Morrissey.
