From the sountrack album to the film, Blade Runner. I do not recall this song playing in the movie, but it's a great addition to its film noire ambience.

Here's a credit found elsewhere:-


Performed by Don Percival
Lyrics by Peter Skellern
From the album ''Blade Runner'' (1994)






One more kiss, dear, one more sigh
Only this, dear, is goodbye
For our love is such pain and such pleasure
That I'll treasure till I die
So for now dear, Aurevoir, madame
But I bow dear, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Our love story to tell
Just as every autumn leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime like sweet memories
They will return as will I
Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye
One more kiss dear, one more sigh
Only this dear, is goodbye
For our love is such passion, such pleasure
I will treasure until till I die
Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye

Charles Kennedy, former Liberal Democrat leader, dies aged 55. Read the BBC news story
here.

This news came as an unwelcome surprise this morning. I'm no Lib-Dem fanboy and I did not follow the man's career particularly. But he seemed to me to be one of the decent politicians and 55 is too young to go. When he was the Lib-Dem leader Charles Kennedy made a mark and he was an entertaining TV personality.

I noticed how the tributes were pouring in, out of every crevice, on the news this morning. The newsmen referred, of course, to his problem with booze, which was one of his "demons".

But I noted that the tone was much more forgiving than it was back in 2006, when Kennedy was effectively ousted from leadership, not by the party en masse but by his colleagues; and quite brutally. I wrote about it at the time:-

My article: not so liberal and certainly not democratic

Hugh Laurie calling it, in a performance of "All We Gotta Do".

Insightful observation.


The outtakes are as funny as the finished article.They appear to be having such fun, too. It's no surprise that Stephen Fry has said he regards his work with Hugh Laurie as that which he is most proud of.

Nik Kershaw does it again with this interesting song, "Made In Heaven".

This tune comes from his album "15 Minutes" (1999).

The stand-out lyric moment for me is:-

"And you will be everything you're not / When she's around."

Make of it what you will.



Nik Kershaw - Made In Heaven - Lyrics

You can have it if you want, it's on a plate
With southern fries and a salad dressed
Or, better still, undressed
And she'll come microwaved and hot
Loving all the things you've got
And you will be everything you're not
When she's around

And she'll be made in heaven,
in heaven, they said
That she'll be made in heaven,
forever in your head

You can keep it if you want, or throw it away
She comes free with metallic paint and a three
year guarantee
You can pull her on like a pair of jeans or
drink her down like the real thing
And she'll have a mind to call your own
And she won't wait to get you home
To get you home

And she'll be made in heaven,
in heaven, they said
That she'll be made in heaven,
forever in your head

She'll make you fly, she'll take you deep
When she comes walking in your sleep
But they made you a promise they
couldn't keep
When they told you
