And to hear it coming out of the mouth of that pristine songstress Petula Clark, who was approved of by everyone's parents, it just seemed incredible. I thought it was an astonishing line to hear in the repressive atmosphere of 1960's pop radio, when songs were being banned all the time. Matthew from Toronto, OnWas I the only one shocked by the line, "Take off your clothes my love and close the door." No one seemed to react but me.I think she knows her boyfriends faults but loves him anyway.A sign of true love. Martin from Fresno, CaI think there is a lot of witty lyrics in this one such as "Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show". ![]() Clark will celebrated her 82nd birthday this coming November 15th, 2014.
