Friendship
The story
Written nostalgically by a husband to his wife about their time living near the Tyneside Metro in the 1980's.
What we were aiming for
Eighties indie with a male vocal, so the chorus addresses the lover it is about, including personal memories — the club names would be known to people who lived in Newcastle in the 80's.
From the lyrics
Madison dancing, Tuxedo Junction,Running on laughter and youthful assumption
What they said
“Took me back to the 80s and 90s, travelling on the Metro for a neet on the toon.”
