Queen
I'm in Love with My Car
(1975)

The machine of a dream
...
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run-of-the-mill talk jive

#NowSpinning this one from 1980. Danish actor Frits Helmuth tells a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen with background Music by Karsten Vogel.
It’s my first spin even though it’s been years since I bought it in a charity shop. And I didn’t even notice the autographs for a long time. I guess I just liked the cover.
Now that it’s spinning, I still have a hard time forgetting my Lektor Blomme childhood trauma (one of Helmuths notorious movie characters)

Don't Answer Me
(1984)

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Keith Emerson & Greg Lake
From the Beginning
(originally from 1972)
Live from Manticore Hall

(A manticore is a monster from Persian tales that has a human head, a lion's body, and a scorpion's tail.)

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool

Mihail Belchev
Don't Grow Old, Love
(Lyrics: a 1968 poem by Bulgarian poet and playwright Nedyalko Yordanov)

Don't grow old, love, do you hear, I beg of you!
Who was your make-up artist for this trite role?
Who dressed you up so foolishly in this funny costume?
It's all just a play, it's all just a show...

Spread Your Wings
(1977)

Spread your wings and fly away,
Fly away,
Far away...
Come on, honey!
