You are right Corelli...I was just a "twinkle" back in the 60s when the beach battles took place!....and was only 5 when Quadrophenia came out! I discovered it later in life and fell in love with the music,styles and, of course, the film. Ive seen lots of pictures from that period...chrome scooters and mirrors everywhere plus, flying deck chairs during the fightscenes..lol
Now I must get down to Brighton on my vespa in time for the bank holiday...............
Johnny...I doubt you remember the original mods n rockers in the '60's (I just about remember them from my childhood!) but as you know from Quadrophenia they had many a famed battle on the beaches of southern England!
Ahhh...bank holiday Mondays down at Southend, Brighton and Hastings...memories! Lol.
It is indeed the fantastic Mr Paul Weller! Wrote so many great songs.This is one of my faves from Wild Wood album. A legend. See, Im called Johnny Blaze but more a Mod than a rocker/biker really...lol

know a place not far from here Where lifes sweet perfume fills the air And if you want I'll take you there If you want I'll take you there
Into the light out of the dark Where only love can heal your heart And if you want I'll make a start If you want I'll make a start
This place I say - half hour away Is that so far to go - so near And further on we'll find the time And lose the discontent we feel - that we feel
I feel the time we've yet to reach Is not within our own belief But I feel sure that time'll come If it goes on at all, said - if it goes on at all, whoa - if it goes on at all, hey - it goes on and on and on and on
I know a place not far from here Where fresh cut grass will fill your hair And if you want we'll lay a while there If you want we'll lay a while there If you want we'll lay a while there.

Artist: Ray Wylie Hubbard Tabs/Chords Song: Snake Farm Tab By Ray Wylie Hubbard (with Wade Bowen & Cody Canada) Tabbed By Larry Mofle rmofle@satx.rr.com 3/14/2006 If you were looking for any crazy chords, you came to the wrong place Especially with Ray Wylie. This is all done in E. Taken from a live recording from Roots & Branches on 92.1 radio E Well a woman I love is named Ramona E She kinda looks like Tempest Storm E And she can dance like little Egypt E She works down at the snake farm Chorus: E Snake Farm – it just sounds nasty E Snake Farm – well it pretty much is E Snake Farm – it's a reptile house E Snake Farm – Uuuggghhhhh...... Well Ramona's got a keen sense of humor She got a tattoo down her arm It's of a python eatin' a little mouse Wearin' a sailor hat that says snake farm Chorus I asked Ramona how come she works there She says it's got it's charms Nothing to do in the winter Now and then some kid gets bit at the snake farm Chorus Solo Repeat Chorus with audience participation Well Ramona likes the Shiner Bock beer And the band from England that's called The Alarm She said she cried when they broke up She still plays their records at the snake farm Chorus Sometimes Ramona calls me up And says come on down here, it's getting warm She runs everybody off And we...you know...it's a snake farm Chorus Chorus
