She saw his coat in the charity shop window
Where the past lives on at a bargain price
Long ago dreams find another chance to live again
Memories are cheap in the charity shop window
She can almost hear if she really tries
The sound of his voice
and their first hello
Their last goodbye
Typewriters, guitars
Autographs of the stars
Her hearts’ like some forgotten souvenir
Broken 45’s
Other people lives
Books half read, love gone dead
A wedding dress promise yellowed with age
She just can’t turn the page
She saw his coat in the charity shop window
As the rain and the wind blows
She can almost hear if she really tries
Their first hello their last goodbye
She just can’t turn the page

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
