• Song:

    Excerpt From A Teenage Opera - Grocer Jack

  • Artist:

    Keith West

I grew up listening to this song, and it brings back fond memories of
 traveling up to London in the back of my Mum and Dad's car with my Sister,
 to visit my Nan and Grandad. My Sister used to cry her eyes out every time
 we put it on (without fail) much to my amusement. She got her own back on
 me though by getting them to play 'Everything I own' by Bread.
