RINGO STARR "ringo the 4th" vinyl, 1977
his sixth,
my fifth from his first sixth and MH's final Ringo purchase...
Mr Starkey goes all pop/dance and funk orientated on this one...
didnt chart in many countries and where it did it really didnt do that well, #65 in Australia was the best it got anywhere...
again, most of the tracks are just okay, Ringo does try his best to do his best but his best just never seems good enough IMO...
only one track i really honestly love on here, an acoustic based ballad about growing up called "gave it all up", wasnt a single but should have been IMO.
rest of the album is very so-so.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
best by a country mile:
Me and Billy were a couple of kids
Nobody knew about the things that we did
Sharing our toys and riding our bikes
We thought it would last for the rest of our lives
But we gave it all up
We gave it all up
We gave it all up for school.
Then my family had to move out of town
Made some new friends and started hangin' around
Started stealing like the rest of the guys
My friend got caught, I saw the fear in his eyes
So I gave it all up
I gave it all up
I gave it all up for love.
She was eighteen and I topped her by one
She said she'd heard about the bad things I'd done
But she loved me and she just didn't care
But one night she needed me and I wasn't there
So she gave me right up (gave me right up)
She gave me right up (gave me right up)
She gave me right up for love.
As I look back and wonder
Have I wasted my time?
Will I ever learn the meaning of life?
Will I learn it in time?
So I sit here with a couple of beers
Wondering how I've lasted all of these years
You're beside me and it's feeling so right
How I'd like to that you for the rest of my life
'Cause I gave it all up (gave it all up)
I gave it all up (gave it all up)
I gave it all up for you.
Gave it all up
I gave it all up
I gave it all up for you
