What do you want to make those eyes at me for
They make me glad
They make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had.

Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed ?
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head
Yes I do

Was the Richard Harris offering not a part of McArthur Park, that Donna Summer sang?

The more that I read this thread more closely, I don't know whether to cringe or bow!

The number of recordings mentioned that I actually have, are growing, lol

Anyone with anymore?

Richard Harris

Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
Cos it took so long to bake it it
And I'll never have that recipe again
etc

Or was it by someone else ?
