I couldn't get to sleep last night oh Tossing and turning in the dead of night oh Wishing I was going on a holiday Too busy thinking that I don't get satisfaction I can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied Can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied I couldn't stay awake today oh Too busy dreaming i was far away oh Wishing I was going on a holiday Too busy thinking that I don't get satisfaction I can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied Can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied What do I get in my bed I don't get satisfaction What do I hear in my head I don't hear satisfaction I have come to realise I'm looking for perfection And I know who's fault it is But its a, yes its a Yes it's a waste of time Yes it's a waste of time And i don't get satisfaction I can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied Can't get satisfaction Just can't keep myself satisfied

I don't know you When I see you My mind goes round in circles Every night I lie awake in my bed I think of things I should have said I think of things I did instead My mind goes round in circles When I'm out I see you everywhere I go I ask my friends why is it so That you're the only girl that I don't know My mind goes round in circles I don't know you When I see you My mind goes round in circles Tonight's the night I realise i've got a problem I saw you looking at my best friend And I don't want the friendship to end My mind goes round in circles So I suppose I should find myself another girl Who's living in another world Who looks just like the other girl That made my mind go round in circles I don't know you When I see you My mind goes round in circles When I lie awake at night Something deep inside of me Tells me that it should be alright I don't know you When I see you My mind goes round in circles

Live without her love I've got a new girl Best one in the world I've got a new girl And i just can't live without her love Down at The Flamingo She's the one I dig the most I've got a new girl Best one in the world Together we've got something And i just can't live, i just can't live without her love And all my friends they think i'm cool They copy me -that's a groove Together we break all the rules My girl and i we get around We don't hang out much with the crowd Now we're going steady And she's always ready Together we've got something And i just can't live, i just can't live without her love

I've got you on my mind You're on it all the time I've got you on my mind And i don't know why I see you every day I don't know what to say I've got you on my mind And i don't know why It's not the things that you say It's not the things that you do But when you say you want me You make me say i want you Why - Have I got you on my mind... I try - But i just don't understand Why you're always on my mind You're on it all the time

B.A.B.Y. baby love My heart was full of ecstacy B.A.B.Y. baby love You're love was like a symphony But now i wish the sky would open up and let it rain, And hide the tears rolling down my face Since you left me i've been thinking that i should let go. But i just can't make up, I just can't make up my mind. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. B.A.B.Y. baby love Do you think that love will tie you down B.A.B.Y. baby love Don't you have the time to hang around You came into my life and left a thousand times, You left a thousand heartaches behind. Since you left me i've been thinking that i should let go. But i just can't make up, I just can't make up my mind. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. B.A.B.Y. baby love I bet you're wondering how i knew B.A.B.Y. baby love About your plans to make me blue My best friend saw you leave town with another guy, You just keep telling me lies. Since you left me i've been thinking that i should let go. But i just can't make up, I just can't make up my mind. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. My heart's in love with you baby, but my head tells me maybe baby. I should let go. I said i should let go.

about

Hits From 3000 Years Ago was originally released in 1980 under a different cover. The album, together with the 'Kings Road' and 'Face Of Youth Today' singles contains the songs Squire would play live during the 79/80 period. The sound has an upbeat, almost 'beat group' sound, vocal harmonies and simple guitar/bass/ drums arrangements. It contains the original versions of 'My Mind Goes Round In Circles' and 'Does Stephanie Know?', later re-recorded as a single with Kirsty MacColl on angelic harmonies.

released August 1, 2010

When the Jam moved up from punk upstarts to mod statesmen in 1979, the British kids turned to other mod outfits to satisfy their craving for everything well-dressed and retro. While the Chords followed in the Jam's footsteps, the three other main contenders for the mod followed different musical paths: Secret Affair were a magical blend of punk, soul and pop with a mild dose of prog; the Lambrettas were straightforward power pop; and Squire were a mix of all of the above and more. In fact, if the mod scene hadn't existed, Squire would have still made brilliant, timeless records, no matter what was going on around them. While only releasing one full-fledged album (Get Smart!), singer/songwriter Anthony Meynell would embrace the '60s wholeheartedly while releasing a batch of singles that still managed to sound contemporary while exposing the many influences he wore on his sleeve. While briefly retiring the Squire name, Meynell issued this album of unreleased tracks under his own name in 1981. Not surprisingly, it sounds just like Squire (in fact, this album boasts an alternate version of the Squire favorite "My Mind Goes Round in Circles"). Once again, the songs are top-notch odes to his '60s influences. While The Singles Album is a varied collection of songs, Hits from 3000 Years Ago is a far more cohesive album. The songs are filled with an excitement and wild-eyed innocence that may not get punk enthusiasts excited, but mod fans and power pop fans will eat this up with gusto and passion. It's sugar sweet and ballsy enough to crank up loud while cruising down Main Street on a Saturday night and not be embarrassed about. The music is timeless and more melodic than most albums released in the last 25 years (one tune here has probably more hooks than a modern power pop album). ""I Don't Get Satisfaction"," "B-A-B-Y Baby Love," and "To Keep Me Satisfied" are pure magic with power chords! While not Anthony Meynell's finest work (that honor goes to the Get Smart!), this is solid from beginning to end and actually out-pop's the excellent Singles Album! (The CD version uses the artwork from the second issue of the album, when it was re-re-released in 1983 after the success of Get Smart!). Stephen SPAZ Schnee - All Music Guide
