Don't jump before you look

You know you're getting old when...

...you discover that the elfin Andy Bell of Erasure was 60 years old yesterday!

How fitting, as the joyful prospect of the impending weekend hoves into view, that we have an excuse (as if any were needed) to start the party with one of the great man's crowning glories!

Thank Disco It's Friday!


We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be, we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line
We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line
We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

Utterly faboo!

Many (belated) happy returns, Andrew Ivan Bell (born 25th April 1964)

Have a great weekend, dear reader!
