Thread Name: With an Eye to Your Ear (Johnny McEvoy album)
Subject: RE: I stilll miss someone
Hi Reta,

what a coincidence. 'With an eye to your ear' is the only other McEvoy album I have on tape (exception: a recent tape and a couple of rare life recordings from Germany back in the late 60s or in the early seventies). And just last Friday I tried hard to find those lyrics for they are the only ones on that album I do not have yet (too fast singing for my ear). I nearly found them, for I found a site with lyrics for the first Cat Stevens album which also has this song on it (obviously at least coauthored by Cat Stevens). But this was one of the few missing songs. You even can listen to that song on the web (http://catstevens.com/media/albums/daydo.html)! I'd love to have the lyrics though, for this song and "Bus 22 to Bethlehem" are the last two McEvoy song I still miss the lyrics of (to keep in the spirit of this thread). My favourite fro ever MvEvoy song will be "The hedgehog song" (taped from the radio), for I was in the audience when this was recorded and I was not alone and just when Johnny McEvoy sung "I'm not the kind to complain that I never had a girl to love" she took my hand. It lasted only about six weeks but I'll never forget that of course, for we were so young then. Beside that, it's not a bad song either.

cheers Wolfgang
