lyrics

I once had a girl Hair like the sunset And her eyes were forever blue. I once had a girl She was my soulmate My confidant and my best friend We used to wander down those shady avenues Hand-in-hand through fields of gold Secret lovers in the early evening dew Forever young, not getting old. I once had a girl Smile like the sunshine And a kiss of summer breeze. I once had a girl, She was my true love My companion until the end. We used to watch the world from shady river views, Arm-in-arm through woods we’d stroll, Secret whispers in fading evening light, Wild and young and kisses stole. When the autumn came, she wouldn’t stay She took to the wing and flew far away. What I would give to be with her today? Mandy fly me away; fly me from here! I once had a girl But now I am older Wrinkled eyes and hair of grey I once had a girl, She’s just a faded memory Forever lost but always in my heart. I still wander down those lonely avenues, Semi-detached; a suburban world. No place for secret lovers walking hand-in-hand, I once had a girl, I had a girl. I had a girl, I once had a girl I had a girl, I had a girl. I had a girl, I once had a girl I had a girl, I had a girl. Lyrics & Music by G C Tolley © G C Tolley - 2022 ® New Tradition Music

about

The tracks on this E.P. were recorded with four other original songs in 1978 by THE AVIATORS in a studio in Malvern, Worcestershire, England.

1978 was the height of New Wave and the Mod Revival scene and The Aviators were getting gigs and making a vinyl was high on the band's agenda.

However, the spool tapes from 1978 recordings were lost when the band broke-up in 1980; but thirty years later, the tapes were found again, in a damp cellar!

The Old Smithy Studios in Worcester famed for many of Wizzard's and Judus Priest's recordings in the 1970's, managed to lift the original tracks from the spool tapes in early 2022.

In September 2022, ex-Aviator and composer Gary Tolley (aka Garrington T Jones) and producer top Dave Draper collaborated to re-recorded four of the "lost" Aviator tracks.

The success of "The Danceable Solution" E.P. will determine if the remaining tracks from The Aviator 1978 "lost tapes" are re-recorded in the near future.

Thanks for your support.
