One of the Great Lost Bands of the 70 s. Zuider Zee was led by the amazing
Richard Orange and deeply influenced by the Beatles. Paul McCartney wishes
he could write song like this one.

I wish you d never blown out the candle
Wish you d never turned out the light
it didn t help me see
it didn t help me fight
and it put a waking sleep in my night (sleep in my night)
Why d you come here from Dallas?
Memphis couldn t offer a thing that you don t already have
and you can t even sing
and you were looking for a husband and you would ve chose me if I was one
and the whole world knows it I know that you know it too
Why don t you ever listen to the words
why don t you ever listen to the words
it s the stuff in the middle I know you ve never heard
now that you re still in specifics
I don t want to push too fast
I m only concerned with happiness and that s not too much to ask
wish you d
wish you d never covered my threshold
wish you d never stood in my door
it didn t help me much and it hurt me more
you could have let me know before
well the whole world knew it you must have had some idea
