Sit Down

'James' is a UK indie band from the 90s. 'Sit Down' was a famous hit song from them in the early 90s with its catchy tune and thoughtful lyrics. I think the lyrics is written from the pespective of a handicapped or destitute person, or perhaps from someone who simply needs a friend or company to talk to.

'Sit Down next to me
in love, in fear, in hate, in tears' - Sit Down

A New Flame ; Simply Red

Simply Red is an acclaimed English band known for their adult-oriented pop tunes and ballads, most notably from the 80s and 90s such as 'Holding Back the Years', 'Stars', 'Something Got me Started', 'For Your Babies' and one of the best cover version in 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'

'A New Flame' was a single from 1989 from the album of the same name. It's staccato beat and sensual vocals from lead singer Mick Hucknall is impeccably neat and close to a perfect tune.

Today is a day to remember for the arrival of my first car.
I have named her 'Abbey'.
She is my new flame and yes,
she is simply red

'She's turned me around
A New Flame has come
and nothing she can do can do me wrong' - A New Flame
