Orange Juice - Poor Old Souls (French Language Version)

Orange Juice was a Glaswegian band from the 80's fronted by Edwyn Collins. While some might think this track errs on the maudlin side, it is no error. The bassline dances on hot coals and things happen in the percussion section that haven't happened in 20+. I'm trying unsuccessfully to get me 'ands on a copy of the English language version of this song. If you have, you might want to think about faxing it over to my computer at leafandlime@gmail.com.

This song didn't grab me the first time, but it has me now. "no more rock and roll for you, no more rock and roll for you".
