Richie Now - Stevie Jackson

He was my Best Friend at school

He was handsome and cool

Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?

The girls would all follow him home

The bad boys would leave him alone

Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?

He has every Beatle record and me I only had one…

The ‘Twist and Shout' EP from 1963

He talked of ‘Rubber Soul' and wonder would unfold.

At lunchtime we played our guitars

We dreamed of being stars

Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?

«Worry, worry, worry, don’t you worry

Everything is sure to go our way

Talks never cheap and our thoughts are always streamed

In our own mind

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry on our way

The past is behind us, it’s also up ahead so don’t delay»

Though we dreamed the air of magic

The magic failed to recognize us

Tried to seize the day, the days got in the way

They hurtled past, our plans all went astray

We were so youthful and bold

We never thought we’d grow old

Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie?

Come back and play and we’ll know where we’re going

Why Richie, won’t Richie, say where is Richie Now?
