 :disbelief ::)  Why is LH so popular among fans?  Beggars belief!!! :hmm

It's an inoffensive enough song and not terrible (by modern music standards), but it's a b-side at the very best and I just don't get why so many fans think it's so great when it has very simple lyrics, no great guitar and a general lack of inspiration about it.  It's just got nothing going for it as far as I can see and yet so many fans love it - not just like it, but consider it a favourite!  I find it totally baffling.  Please help me out here.

You can vote on the poll, and if there are enough votes maybe we can send it to Guy and if lucky, maybe they would consider one or two...

They start rehearsing in a month, so go and vote

yes but requests from a single person and from a worldwide poll are 2 completely different things

Imagine if the whole RAH starts to sing Portobello Belle loud and clear. How Mark would react to this?
Just a dream.

I know these aren't covers but they played these in the early days:

Me and My Friends
Real Girl

I really like Real Girl.  Would have made a great b-side or maybe even album release.

Then they did lots of covers during The Billies days.

Oh, I love both songs. From time to time I use to write this, but an album with all these rarities would be soooooo pleasant.
