Ocean Breakup / King of the Universe by Electric Light Orchestra (Best heard as a full medley comprising the first four songs of On the Third Day, bookended by the powerful opening and closing notes of Ocean Breakup. The whole suite is performed live marvellously here.) |

Underneath the Arches by Flanagan & Allen
(How famous were they in the UK in wartime and pre-war stage and radio? About as famous as it got, and that song was their signature tune. It's a sentimental tune and became a nostalgic song during the war, but written in the 1920s it refers to homeless men during the great depression, sleeping under the railway tracks.)

Zachary and Jennifer by John Denver
(Yay I got a 'z' and I got to include a songwriter I really like by including one of his more obscure songs from an obscure album!  And it's a lovely song.) |

Black Jack Davy by Steeleye Span
1970s 'folk rock' group, great band. British folk songs seem to have several dozen versions of 'Rich/titled lady leaves her husband, house/castle, money, everything and goes off with a traveller/gypsy to find love and happiness. Ex-husband catches up with them and she tells him she'd rather live a wild life with a better man than him! There are so many variations on this theme, I wonder if it actually happened with some famous lady, to the horror of 'polite society' and the delight of ballad-writers? |
