Eurovision past, present, future

It was nineteen seventy six 
When a great band sang about saving a kiss 
Such a jolly song
That anyone could sing along 
I learned the words off by heart 
And entered a singing contest 
While on holiday
Save all your kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
Always  a great memory 
I'll never forget the day that
 As some candy was  awarded to me.

Diane, thank you for taking us on your nostalgic walk in the past, when the Brotherhood of Man won Eurovision for the UK. I do not have any candy for you, but I do offer congratulations on your sweet win in the contest!

Nostalgic verse and nicely written. "Save Your Kisses For Me" by Brotherhood Of Man (Classic Eurovision Song, UK Winner 1976). Take care and wishing you the best.

The UK are always discriminated in this contest, in my opinion.. or maybe we just dont make our songs cheesy enough... nice entry for the contest..

Hi, Diana. Thanks for poetically pointing out the contrast between the unencumbered good-heartedness of the the winning song in 1976 with the tortured vibes of this year's winner --- not to mention the politicization, with the attack dogs going after Israel's contestant. Makes me long for yesterday. ~ Gershon
