I said I'd post more from Perry Keyes who wrote "The Day John Sattler broke his Jaw".

This is a good one NYE that I now learn was covered by Missy Higgins. She did a quicker tempo, 'poppier' version. Heres the original and the best. Although looking at comments under the youtube clip opinion is a bit divided on that.

So that's where that song came from. I did watch Missy perform it on NYE but the next day of course as you know I don't generally stay up past 9pm..

No Aphrodisiac - The Whitlams..Tim, all most decent women want is a man who is kind, polite and even tempered and plays well with others..most smart women can see through any sort of fake seduction routine..after a certain age, that just comes across as sleazy anyway..

Sharon O'Neill is actually from New Zealand but this song was a big hit in Australia. For All The Tea In China. I used to have this on vinyl:

Very under rated song. Great songwriting.

How many cabs in New York City, how many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone, how many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name, knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
I know I've been careless
I've been wrapped up in a shell, nothing could get through to me
Acted like I didn't know I had friends and family
I saw worry in their eyes, it didn't look like fear to me
I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this
Like a mixture in a bottle, like a frozen over lake
Like a long-time, painted smile I got so hard I had to crack
You were there, you held the line, you're the one that brought me back
I know I've been careless
I lost my tenderness
I've been careless
I took bad care of this
How many cabs in New York City, how many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone, how many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name, knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
How many stars in the milky way, how many ways can you lose a friend?
