John Peel faking Ray Jackson's (Lindisfarne) mandolin solo (Got £15 as a session player). Didn't even give Ray proper credit on either the single or album.

About 20+ years ago, back when we were getting on well, my now ex-wife had a real go at me about this song.

 

It came on a jukebox and I just said what a great song it was - and she got angry about it being a sexist song. 

She mainly based this on the line: "the morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age"..........which continues "that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything".

Is honest admiration a crime against the fair (if aging) sex?!

 

There might be a mood of regret about an affair with an older woman, but it's nostalgic regret and he's full of adoration for her. Couldn't be less sexist, I reckon - and still a great song!

 

My ex was 4-5 months older than me, so maybe she was more sensitive about that than I realised....or maybe she was just a nutter and we were always doomed!

I don't think its sexist at all, its a real classic, i like a bit of Rod Stewart.

 

I am of a similar age to yourself and i think my last 3 boyfriends have all been way way younger than me ..

Clearly a sign of your natural youthfulness, Suzie.......he said, grovellingly.

The "X Factor" and "The Voice" generation will never "get" this.

Not the original but enough emotion in it.
