Expert: Sean Wright Date: 7/3/2008 Subject: Identify a song
Question In the early 1960s in the UK I bought a record and part of the lyrics were :
I got a hole in my shoe, everyone everyone of my toes is sticking through and i love you baby and i love you to, i got a hole in my shoe. The singer might have had the first name Sacha. It's a pretty daft record, I know, but it existed and it is frustrating that I can find no-one who can identify it for me.
Answer Hi Tom
Sorry pal I drew a blank on this one. The closest I could come to it was a song written by Nick Mason and played by Traffic (of Stevie Winwood fame) However, one look at the lyrics shows that only the title actually fits your lyrics. I tried Googling Sacha but it turns out that every man and his/her dog was a musician called Sacha! Good luck with your search and I'm sorry that I couldn't help further.
Cheers
Sean
I looked in the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe that
Was letting in water (letting in water)
I walked through a field
That just wasnt real
With 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe which
Was letting in water (letting in water)
(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
And music played ever so loudly)
I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
Had stuck to my coat
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe which
Was letting in water (letting in water)
