Bram Tchaikovsky (born Peter Bramall, 10 November 1950, Lincolnshire, England) is a British vocalist and guitarist.
He first came to prominence as a member of UK punk/pub rock band, The Motors, whom he joined in 1977. After he left them, he led an eponymous power pop band, with Micky Broadbent (bass, keyboards) and Keith Boyce (drums). The group scored a US Top 40 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979, with "Girl of My Dreams". In the Netherlands, "Sarah Smiles" was a minor hit, reaching number 32 in April 1979. Nick Garvey and Denis Forbes were also involved in later band lineups. After disappointing sales, the band split up in 1981 and Tchaikovsky left the music industry.
Tchaikovsky was also credited with cowriting "Solid Ball of Rock", from the 1991 Saxon album of the same name.
In 1998, as part of a "British Rock" reissue series, WEA Japan rereleased both Strange Man Changed Man and The Russians Are Coming albums on CD, using original master tapes and artwork. In addition to the original artwork and liner notes, each CD contained extensive historical information, song lyrics and musical commentary (albeit in Japanese). These CDs were only available in Japan and are now out of production.
Sarah smiles, takes my breath away
Sarah smiles, nothing I can say
Oh, it hurts, with a pain down to the balls
Yes, it hurts, every time you'll
Every time you'll go
So goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Sarah smiles, as I brush her cheek
Sarah smiles, softly she's a
Softly she's asleep
I must sleep before the daylight breaks
I must sleep before she awakes
I'm finally gone and her alone again
So goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
So goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, my love, goodnight
I'll see you when the morninglight comes
Creeping through my windowpane in frosty white
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
