That was foreigner and a dman fine song too.
I saw Les McKeowns Bay City Rollers in Concert last November. He had been at the bottle and it was not the greatest set in the history of mankind but I was the only bloke surrounded by about two hundred women on the dancefloor and as they couldn't grab Les they grabbed me instead (ahh happy days.) Mind you later that night when the woman who was dancing very very close to me and invited me back to her chalet along with others, flew into the bedroom never to be seen again ten minutes after my arrival. I was left out in the lounge (No change there then).
"You live in a dream and your dream is a cage
Said the girl and the bars nestle closer with age
Your shadow burnt white by invisible fire
You will learn how it rankles, to die of desire
As you long for the vanishing stranger,
Said the vanishing beautiful stranger"
There you go Helen, that will take you months to track that one down. It's very very obscure song but I have seen it performed in concert and the Lyricist noted that I was " A keen student of the lyrics" ie I was sat in the front row singing along.

Wonderful song! I have a few Pete Atkin and Clive James LPs from way back around the early seventies - "Beware of the Beautiful Stranger is from "Secret Drinker" I think. I especially like the lines:
That's your lot said Miss Lee as she turned out the light,
These earrings are hell and I'm through for the night,
Watch your step on the foldaway stairs going down...
Mike.
Thanks guys....I've just woken up (about twenty minutes ago) so I managed about 4 and a half hours sleep...which isn't bad and I should still make enough money today and tomorrow......
Anyway thanks everyone......
