Oh No Not You Again (Live at Billboard 1981)

“I’ve known Keith since he was a young performer. I think one of his very first recordings was in my house in Mittagong, near Bowral. He’s a really lovely guy and a great guitar player and singer.

I was recording in L.A and Keith was in and out of the studio in three hours. I think his wife had been filming in Morocco.
He was doing American Idol,and he was also doing shows in America, and flying to Morocco on the weekends to see his wife and kids. I rang him up and asked if he would do this song with me. When he got there, he was so tired. I said, ‘Are you all right, Keith? You should have said no.’ And he said, ‘Why am I going to say no to you?’ It was so great.”

Inspired by interviews with Richard E Grant and his book, Pocketful of Happiness, about his love for his wife who asked him to try to find a pocketful of happiness every day after she passed away.

POCKETFUL OF HAPPINESS
Words and Music Stephen Randall

I got your letter
In my wallet
I can’t forgive myself
If I tried
I can’t read it
But I need it
Love is raw
With nowhere to hide

You made it good
You made it last
You made it fun
It went too fast

You were always
The one grounded
I had my head
In the clouds
Now every day
I’m reminded
You gave me
The will to survive

I don’t why
You had to go
I guess that’s something
I’ll never know

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

CHORUS
Will you promise me that every day you’ll be fine
Will you promise me in every way you’ll be mne
Will you promise me that every day you will find
A pocketful of happiness

I’ll write you
Every morning
And wait in vain
For your reply
And I’ll fight you
And adore you
Just to keep
Your love alive

You made it good
You made it last
You made it fun
It went too fast

I can feel you
Like I’m near you
And I hear you
Call my name
And I imagine
You unwind me
By your presence
And your pain

I don’t why
You had to go
I guess that’s something
I’ll never know

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

CHORUS
Will you promise me that every day you’ll be fine
Will you promise me in every way you’ll be mine
Will you promise me that every day you will find
A pocketful of happiness

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

CHORUS
Will you promise me that every day you’ll be fine
Will you promise me in every way you’ll be mine
Will you promise me that every day you will find
A pocketful of ha ha
A pocketful of ha ha
A pocketful of happiness

Here's a cover of a Paul Kelly classic 'To Her Door'.
I remember the first time I heard this song: it was at The Home Tavern in Wagga Wagga.
I remember thinking to myself that I would love to learn how to play it, but nothing came of it. 
I guess I must have forgotten.

Late last year, whilst travelling on the road, I spotted Paul Kelly's biography ('How To Make Gravy') at a booksellers in Warrnambool.
My thoughts of the song were rekindled and I wanted to know more of this iconic Australian songwriter.
The book became my travelling companion for the rest of the tour across regional victoria and whenever I see it on the shelf I'll imagine trying to learn how to play his songs in the backstage of the theatres and halls we performed in.
