Hi,

I love the music of  The Peddlers.

My father had an album who used to play a lot.

I heard the songs many times, heard them later in life and I loved them even more. What a voice, I love it.

People, In the Still of the night, I'm a boy in love, Prime of my life, Basin' street blues are some of my favorite songs.

Now I would like to have the lyrics of the Peddler songs.

Who knows where I can find them.

Thanx.

Why don't you contact Roy Phillips himself via his website for anything original? The rest, all the brilliantly performed standard classics that you mention, can be found quite easily on the net. Just "Google" the title and add the word "lyrics". You'll be amazed at what's out there! Good luck!

 Thanks Brian,

I think I will try the website.

I tried to find "The Prime of My Life" but couldnt find it.

No Lyrics of the Peddlers, maybe one.

I see a lot Smut Peddlers though, but they are of no use to me... hehe.

Thanks again for answering.

Bye.

Hi Eva,

If I had a pound for every time I have played this song, I would be a rich man !

What a superb track from the fantastic Peddlers and demonstrates their remarkable talent.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Derek

Here's the lyrics as I see them :-

THE PRIME OF MY LIFE HAS BEGUN TONIGHT

THE WORLD AT JUST ONE DAY OLD

THE RHYME OF MY LIFE HAS A REASON NOW

MY HAND HAS LOT TO HOLD

HELLO TO LIFE MY HEARTS COME TO GREET YOU

HELLO-OH ITS SO NICE TO MEET YOU

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ?

OH THE PRIME OF MY LIFE HAS ARRIVED AT LAST

WHEN YOUR LOVE CAME THROUGH THE DOOR

AND I'VE LEARNED THE TRUTH OF ETERNAL YOUTH

HMM AND JUST A LITTLE MORE

LOVE IS WHAT THE PRIME OF LIFE IS FOR

ORGAN SOLO

HELLO LOVE OH MY HEARTS HERE TO GREET YOU

HELLO LOVE ITS SO NICE TO MEET YOU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

NOW I MEAN THIS

THE PRIME OF MY LIFE HAS ARRIVED AT LAST

WHEN YOUR LOVE CAME THROUGH THE DOOR

AND I' VE LEARNED THE TRUTH OF ETERNAL YOUTH

HA AND JUST A LITTLE MORE

LOVE IS WHAT THE PRIME OF LIFE IS FOR

Following my posting re :- "Prime Of My Life" lyrics I would like to change two words, one of which was spotted by my good friend "Down Under Brian" !

4th line should be "Love to Hold not "Lot to Hold"

6th line should be "Hello Love" not "Hello-Oh"

OK so no quips about my age and hearing !!!!

Near enough for Jazz now I think !

Regards to all Peddlers fans worldwide

Keep the faith

Eva, ... between Del and myself, I reckon we could supply you with the lyrics to all of them! Contact me directly at my email address with any that you need / want and I'm sure Del and I could fill in any gaps that you may have! I've been a Peddlers fan for 40 years and Del's an authority on them, so between us you should get everything you want. I imagine they're out of copyright by now, but even so, I'm sure Roy and the boys wouldn't mind us "spreading the word"s, ... literally!

And to all you other Pedds nuts out there, complete the following ... "If only I had the powers ... of great unlimit", ......................................................................................
