Yeah, I used to live here when [G] I was a young man, 17 years old, 18 years old.
_ I moved out here from [D#] Kentish Town, I used to live in Kentish Town, _ and _ _ _ _ at a certain
point my mum sold the house and we had to move out here, which I wasn't very mad on.
[G] All my mates were living in Kentish Town, so I [B] was suddenly out [G] in Crouch End, which
is in [Fm] the middle of nowhere as you can [Cm] see. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D#] _ _
[G] That's the one it started [G#] with, yeah.

_ Anyway, that's [F] our first album, yeah, One [G#] Step Beyond, [D#] yeah.
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] There you go.
_ That's our first album, yeah. _
That was quite a long time ago, yeah.
So the first single was One Step Beyond, [C#] what was the second single then?
Night Boat To Cairo, I think came after that.
_ _ _ _ [B] Possibly.
_ See in the old days you used to put all your singles, one, two, three, on the front end
of the album, yeah.
I mean I wrote Night Boat To Cairo, for example, _ it was supposed to be an instrumental, you
know, we were sort of quite into instrumentals in those days.
[G#] _ We used to do a version of Hawaii Five-O, _ for example, I don't know if you remember
that, the da da da, that was a nice little tune.
I mean we used to watch a lot of those American series on the _ telly.
[N] So we did a version of that, [A] and then we had that One [Em] Step Beyond song, which was _ _ a _ _ _ Prince
Buster B [E]-side, _
_ [A] which somebody dug up, which was a great melody, which we did a version
of that, yeah.
[A#] And then I wrote Night Boat [Am] To Cairo, which was the [C#] same sort of thing.

_ _ [C] When I was young, that was a great time for music.
I mean maybe I'm [Em] just an old silly old fart, [A#m] and you think, [C] oh when I was a kid it was
[A#] great, you know.
_ _ [G#] I mean, yeah, the 70s for me was _ a great time for music, yeah.
Especially the 70s when we were growing up.
[A] And the 80s where you had madness, you know.

Is this house important [Gm] for you?
I don't know, [Dm] well yeah, because we started the [Fm] band here, you know, and I mean it's still
a bit well [D] known.
I was putting stickers on [G] Christmas learning the guitar, and I was putting all, because
I played the piano, so I wrote on each little sticker, C, D, the [C] notes, the names of the
notes, [Gm] so that he could sort of go, [Dm] mmm, that's E flat, and he could learn the [Fm] chords, you know.
[D] And that's where it all sort of took [C] place, in _ me [D#] brother's bedroom there, yeah.
So it's [Am] sort of memorable for that reason, [Dm] yeah, yeah.
I [Fm] mean they could have a little plot, couldn't they, one of [Am] them little blue things.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [C#m] In the [E] middle of [B] our street, [F#] our house, [C#m] _ _

Morning, come in.
Hello, I used to live here, my name's Mike. _
I should have brought my mum, she would have loved to have had a look.
I mean would it be alright to have a little look around, it'd be nice to sort of have
a little look around.
Let's take you down the back first.
Hello mum.
_ _ _ We're just in Park Avenue South, _ the gentleman was in and he's kindly shown us around the house.
_ Yeah, same, yeah, you would have, we had a piano in here.
Anyway, I don't know if you could get here.
It's my wife's study, _ it's an absolute tip.
Anyway, but hang on, I'm just talking to the guy, bye mum.
_ And I remember John Aslow going into [G#] that room, we had in here and we were auditioning
a saxophone player as well, _ and John Aslow wrote Mistakes in that room there, and I was
playing the piano in here and he was going in there, that was the first lyrics we ever wrote.
Yeah.
We had a piano in _ this room, I remember, _ _ it is where I wrote my go [G#m] in here, do you
know what I mean?
[A] We had a piano on the left here, yeah, _ that's [B] where I was writing [G#m] that song, [B] yes.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ Yeah, [A] I _
_ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ didn't want to [F#m] see the film tonight, _ I found it hard [A] to say, _ _ _ [C#m] she _ thought I'd had
enough of her.
_ [D] _ _ [D#] Really took off, [F#] yeah, and all of a sudden you couldn't do any wrong, I mean, from [C#m] just
sort of playing in my bedroom, [F#m] just rehearsing, you know, pretty [C#m] amateurishly, suddenly we
were _ thrown into this really [F] getting popular and everything and we started recording, and
we [D#] were just about competent enough to be able to play in time and complete a song from
the beginning to the end, you know.
[B] One must change with the times.
_ [C#m] _ My girls [A] met at noon, _ _ _ [F#m] _ [C#m] _
I didn't [F#m] want to see the film tonight, _
_ [C#m] _ I found it hard to [A] say. _
