[peel] Anyone care to play "Name That Tune"?

[Trevor Huddleston]

Eddie

Further to previous message:

There are two copies of the vinyl album "Driving Through Mythical America" 
by Pete Atkin on Ebay at the moment for very reasonable prices!

Hope this is the right track!

Yours

Trevor

>I was contacted via Kat's Karavan recently by a fellow who was trying

>All the usual stuff has been tried: googling lyric snippets, guessing

>from the "1974 sessions" list on the BBC Peel page, and so far nothing
>fits. So I just wondered if anyone who fancies themselves as a mid-70s
>Peel buff would like to have a go? There's no reward, apart from the
>warm glow of smugness that would undoubtedly ensue. Plus the
>satisfaction of helping a guy who's been on a quest to identify this
>tune for over 30 years, of course.

>To help out, I've transcribed the first couple of verses and the
>chorus. It seems to be either called "Practical Man" or "Song For
>You". I'd describe the genre as "soft rock".

>I'm not a practical man,
>But I do most things the best that I can,
>For you.
>
>You were a magical girl,
>And you changed my ways,
>In a matter of days
>With you.
>
>So here's my song for you,
>It should be sung by two,
>It's what I always prayed,
>I had nothing else to do.
>
>Any ideas, folks?

>Cheers,
