    YOU'RE A LADY
    Now the evening has come to a close
    And I've had my last dance with you
    On to the empty streets we go
    And it might be my last chance with you
    So I might as well get it over
    The things I have to say won't wait until another day
    You're a lady, I'm a man, you're supposed to understand
    How these things are often planned to be
    You're romantic, I'm a fool,
    You're the teacher, I've come to school
    Here I sit and hope that you'll love me
    You're pure magic, unlock my chain
    Nothing ventured nothing gained
    And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine
    Hard to answer this I agree
    But then I've got to know
    I'm not asking you to marry me
    Just a little love to show
    Oh I know I could make you happy
    So the things I have to say
    Won't wait until another day
    You're a lady I'm a man
    You are suposed to understand
    How these things are
    Often planned to be
    You're romantic and I'm a fool
    You're the teacher, I've come to school
    Here I sit and hope that you'll love me
    You're pure magic, unlock my chain
    Nothing ventured nothing gained
    And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine
    And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine

    I love this song. I first heard it in 1972, whilst driving from North Wales to London in my little green Mini - had to pull over to the side of the road to listen to it properly. I’m immediately taken back to those days whenever I hear it. It brings back so many happy memories. Peter Skellern was a much-underrated performer and songwriter. RIP sir.

    My stepdad was a DJ for hospital radio a great many years ago - so he had a wealth of music (which he still possesses), and I first stumbled upon this absolutely brilliant track when I was 12 - 1990. It was on a cassette (sadly I can't remember the name of it). I still absolutely love the brass band - and then I heard Stilgoe and Skellern and loved them because they were a real corker and I loved listening to Stilgoe taking the mickey out of this track with his own lyrics, which Skellern played along with obviously. The only other pianist that I reckon was also a great was Dudley Moore, and his demise was also a sad and tragic one. Such miserable and horrid endings for such very talented and wonderfully gifted people that gave others so much joy with the things they did.

    Loved this when it first came out and I still love it. Great words, a great tune, what's not to like? I wrote to BBC's Martin Holness who had a programme called "Anything goes" because I wanted to hear it again and didn't know the name of the singer and he played it for me.

      Yes, it was a hauntingly beautiful song. I was 17 when it was released. I had a crush on a boy in school and had my heart broken for the first time. Paul murphy, if you see this I was the boy who called to your house drunk to declare my love. I'm sorry that this must have upset you as you had exams the next day. I wish you well, Ger.
