Song(s) of the Day # 3,907 Peter Perrett -The Cleansing

 'Just another dead survivor.'

Doing the best work of your careet at the end of your life in Rock & Roll. An interesting article that's yet to be written. Johnny Cash. Can't think of too many others off the top of my head. Here comes Peter Perrett.

A man who didn't look as if he was going to make it out of the Only Ones is now heading into his eighth decade and may have made the best record  of his lifetime.Well we've just had a fantastic Cure album. Wreckless Eric's last album was triff. Maybe the New Wavers cavalry is about to hit town. I must say I hope so. Who next Elvis Costello.

In the meantime the coolest and certainly the most wasted wastrel ever to come out of Catford. Now a cool kitty in shades and raging against the dying of the life with a magnificent rwenty minute and hour long album of lessons in life and love. Stunningly articulate. Wonderful tunes lyrics and attitude.
