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 ?

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?

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.
