Back Street Luv
Salad recorded this cover of Curved Air's 1971 top five hit for the 1996 Childline LP. This bizarre charity record also featured Alisha's Attic covering Suede's Still Life along with songs by Pulp, Tricky and more top artists of the mid '90s.

Summer's comin' time to dream the day away
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
Will she make it?
Can she take it?
Like to try love
Such a shy love
Ragged back street, leanin' on the wall
She weaves a story of her life before it all
Did she give love?
Could she feel love?
Did she find love?
Was it real love?
Where's your smile today? Did she let you down?
Try to see she didn't mean to make you feel so sad
Ragged back street sittin' on a wall
She tells of men that she knew before it all
When she made love
She tried to find love
When she gives love
She will find love
Summer's comin' time to dream the day away
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
Will she make it?
Can she take it?
Like to try love
Such a shy love
Ragged back street, leanin' on the wall
She weaves a story of her life before it all
Did she give love?
Could she feel love?
Did she find love?
Was it real love?
Where's your smile today? Did she let you down?
Try to see she didn't mean to make you feel so sad
She tells of men that she knew before it all
When she made love
She tried to find love
When she gives love
She will find love
