I yearned for another,
Who wasn’t you,
But she wasn’t there,
Unlike you,
At a long lost party
In old Cambridge town.
Did I fall
Just a little for you,
While longing for another,
Who wasn’t you,
At a long lost party
In old Cambridge town.
Author's Notes/Comments:
At a Long Lost Party was a lyric I penned in response to listening to a song from Prefab Sprout’s 1985 album Steve McQueen, also known as Two Wheels Good, at some point during the evening of the 3rd of June 2017, which clearly took me back to the titular long lost party, although the melody I wrote it to has since escaped me. While the preponderance of the song was drafted on the 3rd, minor modifications took place on the 4th, almost certainly between 7 and 8.30 a.m., and then again on the 6th, while the 16th witnessed the removal of an entire verse to produce the definitive version.
