May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s that opening. Those opening chords. I find something “otherworldly” about them. I find the words wonderfully upbeat. It’s about escapism (to me it is anyway…my interpretation of it). “She don’t need no rocket ship, Just close her eyes and takes a trip. Baby’s big on aviation, Baby loves a levitation.

He only has 2 other albums of theirs, excluding the one shown…so I am gifting him my spare copy of Sister Feelings Call as he needs more SM, stat! I have previously gifted him my copy of…
And just for good measure…my one…
