I bought a few singles of theirs at the time, Far Far Away, Skweeze Me Pleeze Me and C’mon Feel The Noize circa 1973/74!
Noddy grew up on a housing estate a couple of miles from me. (The same estate as Rob Halford of Judas Priest)
Was in Beatties, a Wolverhampton department store persusing the dvd players when they first came out, around 1999 and my wife kept nudging me, I was only standing next to Dave Hill! He had the cheek to ask for discount!

Everyday - Slade
Everyday when I’m away
I’m thinking of you
Everyone can carry on
Except for we two.
And you know that our love
And you know that I
And you know that our love won’t die.
And it won’t even show
And no-one will know
One little wave
To say you’ll behave
It won’t even show
How far love can go.
Everyday when I’m away
And there’s been a few
Every land I need a hand
To help me come through.
And you know that our love
And you know that I
And you know that our love won’t die.
And it won’t even show
And no-one will know
One little wave
To say you’ll behave
It won’t even show
How far love can go.
And you know that our love
And you know that I
And you know that our love won’t die.
And it won’t even show
And no-one will know
One little wave
To say you’ll behave
It won’t even show
How far love can go.

Wasted Years - Iron Maiden
On the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I’m traveling on
Far away
But now it seems
I’m just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn’t me but someone else
I close my eyes
And I think of home
Another city goes by
In the night
And it’s funny how it is
You never miss it till it’s gone away
And my heart is lying there
And it will be till the day I die
So understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Playing easy to play
So easily
When you can’t find the words to say
It’s hard to make it through another day
And it makes me want to cry
Throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
So understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
So understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years

I am Iron Man
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fill his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Oh, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Slipping off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devil’s in his hole
Oh, to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh, to touch the dream
Hides inside and is never seen, yeah
Into the sun, the south, the north
At last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
To guide us from the curving path
That turns our feet to stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head, with heavy feet, yeah
Days went by when you and I
Bathed in eternal summer’s glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual child did grow
Oh, the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again
Wandering and wandering
What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth, earth
I know the way, know the way
Know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way
Know the way, know the way
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

I’m so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters, Anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
Oh, where have they been
A hidden passion
Touching a spark
Flame of revolution
Burning wild in your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
Anya, Anya
The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
Ooh
Anya
The light of freedom buried
Deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels
Refuse to dance alone
What do they mean
What do they mean
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
Anya, Anya
The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
Ooh
Anya
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Oh, your gypsy heart
Anya, Anya
The spirit of freedom
Anya, Anya
Ooh
Anya

I got a letter just the other day
She sent a picture, but she didn’t sign her name
She wore high heels and a little black lace
I knew her body, but I couldn’t see her face
She didn’t leave a number,
not an address or a clue
But something in that
photograph reminded me of you
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Love’s like a muscle and
you make me wanna flex
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby,
Let me be your private eye
I got a call in the middle of the night
Heavy breathin’ never sounded quite so nice
She said “Ooh yeah, I wish that I was there”
I asked her who was calling,
but she wasn’t playing fair
Sometimes you gotta suffer
for the pleasure that you seek
You’re beggin’ for an eyeful,
but you only get a peek
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Love’s like a muscle and
you make me wanna flex
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby,
let me be your private eye
Oh yeah (yeah)
I heard somebody knockin’,
so I opened up the door
She wore a hat, shades and a trench coat,
wasn’t wearin’ that much more
She said she knew my secrets
but I didn’t have a clue
Then I saw those black lace panties
and I knew that it was you
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Love’s like a muscle and you
make me wanna flex
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby,
let me be your private eye
Let’s put the X in sex
Love’s like a muscle and
you make me wanna flex
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby,
let me be your private eye
Let’s put the X in sex
Love’s like a muscle and
you make me wanna flex
Baby, let’s put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby,
let me be your private eye

Romeo and the lonely girl
They seemed to hit it off
Till Romeo, he told the lonely girl
“I must take my leave, my love”
It was these few words I overheard
Thought I should move in
But before I could
The lonely girl had fallen in love again
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo
Romeo he had it rough
The guy you’d like to burn
But everything that Romeo had
You can bet it was well earned
For all his good looks
there were scars that he took
And a lesson to be learned
Never judge lovers by good-looking covers
The lover might be spurned
Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo
Romeo he like to put it around
He was everybody’s friend
But in the end even Romeo found
On no one could he depend
For all his charms in someone else’s arms
Lonely girl safely lay
The train came in it had to leave again
And Romeo pulled away

Apparently Phil Lynott wrote this song about Gary Moore, he was scarred and Romeo is an anagram of Moore!

Best I Can-Queensryche
Don’t worry, dear he’ll never find the gun
A child alone in daddy’s room
The gun was hidden here
No one home to catch me when I fall
A young man now in a private chair
I’ve seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive
I’m going to be the best I can
I want to be a busy man
I want to see a change in the future
I’m gonna make the best of what I have
I want to write for a magazine
I’m gonna be the best they’ve ever seen
I know I’ll win if I give it all I can
I won’t let go
Gotta make the grade, no I won’t let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Back street hoop star you’ve got it good
You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived
The tragedy that came into my life
Giving me hope and the new start that I have
And I won’t let go
Gotta make the grae no, I won’t let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Step by step I dream the plan
From my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Chase the light I see ahead
Luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can
Now I’m moving forward and I’m never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
On a roll and I’m never slowing down
I won’t be torn between
The man in the chair and the man that’s in my dream
I’m going to melt the two men into one
And I won’t let go
Gotta make the grade I set no, I won’t let it go
To be the best man,
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
The best man that I can

Driving in my car
We’re headin’ for the local bar
Pickin’ up my girl tonight
Everythin’ a-gon’ be alright
Shootin’ pool with my friends
Smokin’ cigarettes
Tellin’ jokes out loud
Laughin’ with the crowd
And we rock it (and we rock it)
And we roll it (and we roll it)
And we’re laughing (and we’re laughing)
And we’re joking (and we’re joking)
And we roll it
Baby, we rock it and roll it
We won’t get the blues
Because
We rock the blues an’ play
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
Until the light of day
And when I’m on my way back home
I listen to the radio
I hear some great rock sounds
That make you want to sing out loud
And we rock it (and we rock it)
And we roll it (and we roll it)
And we’re laughing (and we’re laughing)
And we’re joking (and we’re joking)

Bitter land of sight unseen
Awaken at the altar
A simple man, a single dream,
to live and never falter
Back from the seas, he had to sail
As time had slipped away now
He lands in a place of mystery,
there’s no way he can stay now
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
One more chance to fight the fire
That’s raging through the forest
The water here’s in short supply,
there’s no way he can store it
Reaching out across the swirl
The wind is a restless danger
Soon he’ll reach the water’s edge,
and no more be a stranger
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Bitter land of sight unseen
The winter sun is so extreme
We’re seeking something different today
Light the lamp from in the earth
A nation from eternal birth
Hold before me absolute sway
Cover me in dust
And hide me now
As light and sound
Come trickling down
Giants turn to rust
It’s all going down
Back to the ground
Still I can hear the sound
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
I will be with you
I will be with you, again
I will be (through the infinite fire)
I will be with you, again
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead to you places you wouldn’t go
So many seeds sown by the sower
Infinite fire come turn us to gold
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you wouldn’t go
Seasons and times may take you over
Lead you to places you would never go

Fury of my Love-Flying Colors
Remember when we were young
Like Eden was in innocence
No looking through the camera lense
And every moment was
A living lightning afterglow
A constant river’s overflow
And somewhere in the back of your mind
Yours was more important than mine
Then you went on your way
Just being who you couldn’t be
Without our love’s intensity
I’ll never go halfway
For me it’s all or everything
There’s just no living in between
And somewhere in the back of my mind
I can’t seem to leave you behind
Baby don’t worry 'bout this intensity
It’s just the fury of my love
Things aren’t what they seem to be
It’s just what you mean to me
And it’s just the fury of my love
Can we start over now?
A place the past has never looked
A pardon closing every book
Love covers all our doubts
Unhindered by the icy shell
That’s grown around your heart so well
Somwhere in the back of your mind
I’m the one you’re looking to find
Baby don’t worry 'bout this intensity
It’s just the fury of my love
Things aren’t what they seem to be
It’s just what you mean to me
It’s just the fury of my love
I hope you don’t think I’m scary
Drowning in the pain
I hope you can recognize that
Yourlove means everything
Baby don’t worry 'bout this intensity
It’s just the fury of my love
Things aren’t what they seem to be
It’s just what you mean to me
It’s just the fury of my love
My love
My love
My love
My love…

Love Is Only A Feeling - The Darkness
The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger’s hand
An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand
'Cos you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be all and end all
Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
When I’m in your arms I start believing
(It’s here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway
The state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved
I had seen, I had touched, I had tasted and I truly believed
That the light of my life
Would tear a hole right through each cloud that scudded by
Just to beam on you and I
Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
When I’m in your arms I start believing
(It’s here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway, anyway
Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
And we’ve got to stop ourselves believing
(It’s here to stay)
'Cos love is only a feeling
Anyway.

I Hate Myself-The Darkness
There goes the best thing that ever happened to anyone
There goes a little miss forever and a day
There goes a girl I was incredibly cruel to
I thought that she was in my way
The girl I adore
Oh, she don’t want to love me anymore
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
Oh, I hate myself, so you don’t have to
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
I really hate myself, so you don’t have to
There goes the best seven years of my life
There goes the girl that only saw me, not my influence
Or my wealth
There goes the only human being I have ever loved
More than I hate myself
Well, I am sure
Oh, she don’t want to love me anymore
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
Oh, I hate myself, so you don’t have to
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
I really hate myself, so you don’t have to
There goes the last of my inspiration
Here comes the pain I endure
She don’t want to love me anymore
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
Oh, I hate myself, so you don’t have to
Oh, I hate myself, I hate myself, I do
I really hate myself, so you don’t have to

Chain Lightning-Rush
Energy is contagious
Enthusiasm spreads
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
Everything turns in synchronous relation
Laughter is infectious
Excitement goes to my head
Winds are stirred by planets in rotation
Sparks ignite and spread new information
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Hope is epidemic
Optimism spreads
Bitterness breeds irritation
Ignorance breeds imitation
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
Dreams are sometimes catching
Desire goes to my head
Love responds to your invitation
Love responds to imagination
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
