@AddickUpNorth Which track off that album is it that goes "I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts"? Had a friend from uni that played that a fair amount, so I always think of him when I hear it.
@aliwibble - that’ll be the title track Script For A Jesters Tear.
Absolute classics. Mind you only 5 and 6 songs respectively on both albums.
Only problem with Love over Gold is that the first 2 songs take up all of side 1.....so if you have the album version you have to turn it over to listen to the 3rd one on the list. I think it therefore fails by default, otherwise it would have been one if my choices.
Three first tracks that are half an album, and pretty decent, are from side one of the Yes Album.
My Mrs has got that on at the moment. I'm at the point of finding the most blunt knife we have in the house and chopping my member and nads off and throwing them down the garden to ease the pain of listening to this.
If you do then I expect she'll be in need of a replacement to satisfy her. Seeing as me & her obviously have the same great taste in music I'd be happy to help her out anytime she needs a good....... 😉
