[00:02.34]When I was 10 I wanted to explore the World
[00:05.90]There were these older kids at school who'd gone all the way to Somerset
[00:10.04]Just to see Peter Gabriel's house, Peter Gabriel from Genesis
[00:14.38]They way they'd dressed, the way their hair fell over their coat collars
[00:19.97]It all happened because of music, I wanted to know why
[00:25.71]I couldn't go to Somerset on my own, so I used Top of the pops as my World
[00:30.99]Atlas
[00:48.03]In 1974, I bought my first single, from Woollies in Redhill
[00:52.78]I started to memorise the charts, to memorise the leagues
[00:58.71]Tuesday lunchtime at 12:45, Saturday afternoon at five o'clock
[01:04.74]I didn't go to church, I didn't need to
[01:08.98]Green and yellow harvests, pink pies, silver bells and the strange and
[01:15.12]Important sound of the synthesiser.
[01:19.71]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[01:27.23]Every single day, love is here to stay
[01:35.33]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[01:42.51]Every single day, love is here to stay
[01:50.69]Kevin drove us to parties in his Morris Minor
[01:53.59]And there were boys, and there was booze, and mock Tudor semis
[01:57.98]And first kisses, and terrible chat up lines
[02:02.02]But in the end, the conversation always turned to music
[02:22.29]I was in love, and I knew he loved me because he made me a tape
[02:26.53]I played it in my bedroom, I lived in my bedroom, all of us did
[02:31.81]Reading Smash Hits and Record Mirror, Paul Morley and the NME,
[02:37.40]Dave McCulloch and Sounds, Modern Eon and Modern English
[02:42.90]Mute, Why, Zoo, Factory
[02:47.04]Cutting them up, sucking them in, managing the story on our own
[02:54.14]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[03:01.77]Every single day, love is here to stay
[03:09.91]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[03:17.21]Every single day, love is here to stay
[03:25.29]I had my mocks a month later
[03:27.18]But I just wanted to listen to Dexys, New Order, anything on postcard
[03:33.37]A few weeks and I'd be free
[03:36.53]A few weeks and music wouldn't have to be so private, it would be there for me
[03:43.64]It would be there for me, and when I was married, and when I had kids
[03:51.58]Would Marc Bolan still be so important
[04:12.84]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[04:20.42]Every single day, love is here to stay
[04:28.50]Over the border, I'm growing older, heaven only knows what's on it's way
[04:35.75]Every single day, love is here to stay
