History of Sorts

I might lose some street cred here, but I always liked Cliff Richard’s ‘Carrie’, In 1988. ForceField II , aproject of Cozy Powell released Carrie on their album ‘The Talisman’ , One of those few occasions where a cover is better then the original.

“Carrie” was written by the songwriting partnership of Terry Britten and BA Robertson

Sorry to disturb you
But I was in the neighborhood
It’s about a friend, I’ve her picture
Could you take a look?
Oh, I appreciate you’re busy
And time’s not your own
Yeah, maybe it would be better
If I telephoned

Carrie doesn’t live here anymore (Carrie)
Carrie used to room on the second floor (on the second)
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me
So, Carrie doesn’t live here anymore (Carrie)
You could always ask at the corner store (could ask)
Carrie had a date with her own kind of fate

It’s plain to see
Another missing person
One of many we assume
The young wear their freedom
Like cheap perfume
Returning my call
(To help the situation)
They’ve got nothing at all
You’re just another message
On a pay phone wall

Carrie doesn’t live here anymore (Carrie)
Carrie used to room on the second floor (on the second)
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
That was known to me, Carrie!
Carrie doesn’t live here anymore (Carrie doesn’t live here anymore)
Carrie used to room on the second floor
Sorry that she left no forwarding address
It’s a mystery

Carrie, where are you? (Carrie doesn’t live here)
Carrie, where are you? (Carrie doesn’t live here)
Carrie! (She doesn’t live here)
Carrie, where are you? (Carrie doesn’t live here)
