[John Peel Day!]

it's been one year since the great man's last broadcast, and there are hundreds of gigs all over the country in honour of the late john peel. was supposed to play the Cuban Boys' commemorative track "The Nation Needs You" - made with snippets of peel on air - at noon, but that happened to be in the middle of a lecture. hrmmm.

it's sad cos all the good gigs around here seem to sell out mysteriously the moment they're announced. needless to say, i'm miffed!!

anyway. in honour of john peel, his favourite track of all time, which is a great song in its own right.

The Undertones - Teenage Kicks

---

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos i'm all alone
I need excitement oh i need it bad
And its the best i've ever had

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
