mayfly (formerly guruperide) - blue sofa

Not an edit. The Dutch band "Mayfly" (the band started as "Guruperide", a name formed by the band members' initials) was founded in 1970 and disbanded in 1975. The band released one lp, "Mayfly" and six singles: Blue Sofa/Orphan Girl, Topless Bertha/Dawn Of An Old Man's Life, It's Illusive/Orphan Girl, Quite A Surprise/Signed By The Time, Skew Eyed Jimmy/Second Hand Dream and the last one was Johnny/From Now On. Producer Martin Duiser was the a$$hole who came up with the idea of releasing the total failure "Johnny". Someone put it a bit gentler than me: "'Johnny' from late 1974 was the last straw. A noisy nobody and an idea of their young producer Martin Duiser. Mayfly performed in Van Oekel's Discohoek. To tease them, director Wim T. Schippers prominently portrayed a few young ladies. It will have been allowed to live in the tipparade for a while because of this performance. For Ariola, the measure was full. Without a contract, Mayfly broke up in 1975." http://soul-xotica.blogspot.com/2011/04/

BLUE SOFA

blue sofa won't you sit me down
blue sofa I'm so tired now
I worked hard the whole day
and I looked forward
to sit'n stay on, your belly today

rained the whole day and the wind blew cold
got the feeling I was crawling on
I worked hard (I'm tired) the whole day (so very tired)
and I looked forward (I'm sighing)
to sit'n stay on, your belly today

we've got a friend who's always around (oooh)
we've got a friend who carries you when are down (oooh)

we've got a friend who's always around (oooh)
we've got a friend who carries you when are down (oooh)

blue sofa with your four sweet legs (ooo)
blue sofa with your spring that cracks (oooh)

when I see (I love you)
your body (I want you)
then I pity (I need you)
everybody
who's out a sofa like you (a sofa like you)
