[Music] If you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade, I'm sure I'll not be moved, but it's just your attitude, it's tearing me apart, these women every day, I'll fall in love, it's just your attitude, and I'm so relieved, so why are you holding your hat, is that the way we stand, we'll lie in all the time, was it just a game to you, But it means I'm sitting You know I'm such a fool for you You got me right around your finger, huh?

Alan Nicklin's guilty pleasures. Let me inside you. Into your home. I've heard it's lined with the things you don't show. Let me beside you. Down on the floor. I've been your lover from the womb to the tomb. I'd dress as your daughter when the moon becomes round. You'll be my mother when everything's gone. She will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. Keep beckoning to me. From behind that closed door. You're made in the mother and the crown that's grown old. I hear your voice. You're coming out of that hole. I listen to you. And I want some more. I listen to you. And I want some more. She will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. She will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Something's changed. Some stay the same. Let me inside it. Into your room. I've heard it's lying with the things you don't show. Let me decide it. Down on the floor. I'm in your lover from the womb to the tomb. I just as your daughter when the moon becomes round. You'll be my mother when everything's gone. She will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. She will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. And she will always carry on. Something is lost. Something is found. There will keep on speaking for me. Something's changed. Some stay the same. Something's changed. Something's changed. Something's changed. This is Alan Nicklin's guilty pleasures. There'll be no strings to bind your hands. Not if my love can't bind your love. And there's no need to take a stand. Oh, it was I who chose to start. I see no reason to take me home. I'm old enough to face the dawn. Just call me angel of the morning angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave me. Baby, just call me angel of the morning angel. Then it slowly turns away. From me. Maybe the sun's light will be dim. And it won't matter anyhow. If morning's echo says we've sinned. I won't get it now. And if we're victims of the night. I won't be blinded by the light. Just call me angel of the morning angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave me. Baby, just call me angel of the morning angel. Then it slowly turns away. I won't beg you to stay. Leave me. Through the tears. All the pain. All the pain. Baby, baby. Just call me angel of the morning angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave me. Baby, just call me angel of the morning angel. Just touch my cheek before you leave me. Angel of the morning. There is Merrily Rush from Seattle, Washington. Record buyers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand sent this to number one in 1968. It hit number seven in America, but it's never been a UK top 40 hit. If it does sound familiar though, it's been used in movies and the NBC TV show, The Blacklist. And of course, it's been covered by lots of other people. Pretenders, before that, the band led by Chrissy Heind him to her from Get Close. This one hit number seven in Australia and number eight in the UK in '87. Now on Guilty Plasius, a couple of number ones. Done it all. You pulled your memory cold. Pulled the rebel to the door. You spoke the game no matter what you say. But only metal was a ball. Your eyes, your eyes. How can you tell so many love? Come up and see me, make me smile. I'll do what you want, running wild. There's nothing left or gone and run away. Maybe you'll carry for a while. It's just a test, a game for us to play. When I lose, it's hard to smile. It's just a test. It's just a test. You have to have all. Come up and see me, make me smile. I'll do what you want, running wild. I'll do what you want, running wild. There ain't no more. There ain't no more. You've taken everything. My belief in my love. Can you ignore my faith in everything? 'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth. Away, away. And don't say, maybe you'll try. Come up and see me, make me smile. I'll do what you want, running wild. Come up and see me, make me smile. I'll do what you want, running wild. [MUSIC] Alan Nicklin's guilty pleasures. [MUSIC] We made up their minds, and they started packing. And left before the sun came up that day. An exit to return a summer slacking. But where were they going without ever knowing the way? And drank up the wine, and they got them talking. But now, I had more important things to say. And when the car broke down, they started walking. Where were they going without ever knowing the way? And everyone could see the road, and they won't go this way and go. It's always harder than ever could go. Never did I want you. Never did I want you. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] And left before the sun came up that day. And just drove up the left, it all behind us. Where were they going without ever knowing the way? And everyone could see the road, and they won't go this way and go. Never did I want you. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Anyone could see the road, and they won't go this way and go. It's always harder than ever could go. Never did I want you. Never did I want you. You can see the shadow of wandering on somewhere. One million over, and we really don't care. One of the highway, and happy over today. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] A couple at number one here. Some guilty pleasures from Austin, Texas, the band, Fastball, The Way. This was a Canadian number one in 1998. And before that, Steve Harley, Cottony Rebel, make me smile, come up and see me from the best years of our lives. A UK number one for them in September. Live and local. 106.7, Rebel FM.
