For example, a song is a big hit in the States, then some enterprising pop music boss on this side of the Atlantic would lease out the rights of the song and get one of the upcoming young British singing talents to record it and release it here, the likes of Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, Vince Eager, Gene Vincent, etc.
It was painfully cringeful for me having to listen to Cliff singing stuff like “Gee whiz it’s you” and in “Living Doll” ‘Some big HUNK can steal her away from me” and Adam Faith with his direct copying of Buddy Holly’s quivering voice type singing.
Words like “Dreamboat” and “Swell” and “Groovy” were often used here by the easily led.
Was you a Liverpool Dreamboat Gummy? I can imagine all the Liverpool Lu’s swooning as you walked along the old pier head “Gee whiz, there goes a real Dreamboat”

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
On My OwnOn my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
