Who Loves Deacon Blue?
Deacon Blue
Deacon Blue are arguably one of the best po bands to hail from Scotland during the 80s/90s and were the soundtrack to my teens.
Their sound was so fresh and clean with amazing production, which was a match made in heaven.
I taught myself how to play drums to thier debut album 'Raintown' and in particular REAL GONE KID.
Here's my little acoustic version of their Number 1 Single ~ Real Gone Kid
Lyrics
And I'd tear out the pages That I've got in these books Just to find you some words Just to get some reward And I'll show you all the photographs That I ever got took And I'll play you old 45s That now mean nothing to me And you're a real gone kid And maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) I'll do what I should have did Now I've stood on your shadow And I've watched it grow And it's shaken and it's driven me And let me know About all the old 45s And the paperback rooms And it's scattered all the photographs Of summers and suns And you're a real gone kid And maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) I'll do what I should have did Cause you're a real gone kid I cried and I craved Hoped and I saved And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs) Cried and I craved Hoped and I saved And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs) And you're a real gone kid And maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) Maybe now baby (maybe now baby) I'll do what I should have did Cause you're a real gone kid
