. . .best remembered for a hit . .`walk on the wild side`
The song words below are about sexual relationship between man in 30`s and 13 year old girl...apparently pretty common in 80`s with John Peel also being criticised by #METOO movement.
Marrying a young person who he says Family lied about her ageSo now that I'm straight, I'm settled, too
I eat and I sleep and I work like you
Look away
Look away
Sable had a baby back at her folks'
Me, I went straight and serious, too
There wasn't much else that I could do
Look away
Look away
Now Thunder and me did not part friends
What we did once, I wouldn't do again
So he stayed with the pure dream and followed the moon
'Til the drugs in his body made his mind a cartoon
I got lots of feelings, but I hold them down
That's a way I cope with this shitty town
Look away
Look away
Me pretty naive but seams to me we do not forgive...almost got me returning to that `old chestnut` of how our society. Forgotten civil `Christian virtues `like forgiveness...often dragging up previous behaviour and seeking to punish.
EXAMPLE... at night Radio 1 became a white desert. It became 'intelligent'. That is, it became male, hippy and smelly - it became John Peel.
