BREAKING News for Kirsty MacColl's Desperate Character!!!

Thanks very much to everyone who's listened to the tracks, posted them as links, commented, etc.It made the whole thing worthwhile.
God bless Kirsty!

This one's for a friend of mine who loved this cover (The Clash being the original, as if you needed telling) but couldn't find it anywhere. It's been a while since my last Kirsty track but there's very little left to post and what is left I don't have! Rumour has it Union Square Music are releasing a 2-disc compilation with unheard bits, so keep your ears to the ground! This is from a live sho...

    Your name froze on the winter air An empty bench in Soho Square Forgotten now I turn away Just save me for a rainy day But don't be sorry I don't want to hear it baby My feet froze in the winter chill I knew I'd probably get ill But I was praying we could fill An empty bench and still You're so sorry But I don't want your pity baby It's all yours now please don't tease The pigeons shiver in the naked trees And I'll do anything but Please don't hurt me Just kiss me quick 'Cause it's my birthday And I feel so small I don't know why But no I'm not too old to cry An empty bench in Soho Square If you'd have come you'd have found me there But you never did 'cause you don't care And I'm so sorry baby I don't mind loneliness too much But when I met you I was touched And that was good enough for me But do we always have to be sorry Why can't we just be happy baby? One day you'll be waiting there No empty bench in Soho Square And we'll dance around like we don't care And I'll be much too old to cry And you'll kiss me quick in case I die Before my birthday One day you'll be waving there No empty bench in Soho Square No I don't know the reason why I'll love you till the day I die But one day you'll be waiting there Come summertime in Soho Square And I'll be painting stars up in the sky Before I get too old to cry Before my birthday I hope I see those pigeons fly Before my birthday In Soho Square on my birthday

    This songs lyrics struck me as a vignette of the " after the fall" conversation between Satan and Eve about " what now"? It still sounds that way today.

      I saw on her official site that she was dropped by Stiff just before the record was due to be released ie October 1979. Song was co written by Pete Briquette and Simon Crowe of The Boomtown Rats and featured Rat Johnnie Fingers on piano .
