Something for the Weekend



I’ve long thought this was one of those pop songs that were secretly about drugs but apparently it isn’t. Shame.

I was never a big fan of Cilla’s voice but she really nailed this one. Pretty much any version of this song gets me choked up but hers turns me into a puddle.

I loved this song when I was kid because I thought it was literally about the fire brigade. I’m sure it’s actually about girls or sex but I’d rather stick to my my youthful illusions.

What a beautiful, beautiful song this is. An extra ration of Grog for the Procol Harum boys.
