I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this was Bowie.

Always a favorite!
Trivia: this song was played on the HBO special about the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. Why do I know this?!?!?!

Where is Edwyn? He had a brain aneurysm a few years ago and almost died so that's why you haven't heard anything form him.
I think he has a new album out,though.

Old towns change when you leave them, girls like her do things like that - and we all know about protest singers...
This song, though, for me it's timeless and unchanging. One of my Grecian urns - "For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd" - that is, a 10.
Edit - recent interview |

Once upon a time, there was a guy who heard this song the first time in a very well-known German radio station, but then day for day... Nice to hear it again!  |

I've always thought until today that it WAS Bowie. And I used to be a Bowie fan. (still am, just older!). Nice tune. |

I can kind of hear a bit of Bowie in his vocal style. When I first heard this, I thought it was a song from the mid-60's. |

I was sure it was until the day I looked this song up on RP and found, to my great surprise, that indeed it was not. Amazing how similar the sound and vocal styles are to one another... |

Don't get the Bowie thing myself. |

When I saw the "Edwyn Collins" tag at the top of the page I thought it was a mistake. I've never even heard of Edwyn Collins. Man, you're never too old to learn something new on RP.
Sounds more like Chris Spedding / Mark Knopfler's (sp.?) voice! Nice one. |
