The City Of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society (CLPGS) is an English society and registered charity dedicated to the research in all aspects of early recorded sound. Founded in 1919, the CLPGS is most likely the oldest society of its type in the world.
The CLPGS was founded under the name "The Edison Society" in 1919, when Norman Hillyer and some members of the North London Phonograph and Gramophone Society decided that a group was needed within the City of London. The founding members agreed to approach Thomas Edison to ask if he would become a Patron of the new venture. Edison would only agree if the group changed its name to the City of London Phonograph Society, so this was done. The group's initial membership numbered about forty.
In the 1920s, with the shift away from phonograph cylinders, the group changed its name to "The City of London Phonograph and Radio Society", reflecting many of the members' interests in early radio technology.
Every move you make is wrong
Another bump on a road that is long
You fight back again
Try harder my friend
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
And you fall on down again
Failure is your best known friend
You try hard but you lose
(I really got to give it to you)
Yet you refuse to give in
(But I Won't)
Give it all up and go on home
Nobody will care you'll be left alone
Just leave here now and go on home
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
So as you fall
does it hurt
So as you fail
does it burn
to learn that no one wants you
So leave here
Go on home and be all alone
And may i ask you why
Do you try
It hurts to watch you
And i know how it feels
It kills to watch you fail
Everything boils down to one wrong move
Never makes sense and then you lose
Again you fall
Lose it all
You try again
and then my friend
You fail again
So as you fall
does it hurt
So as you fail
does it burn
to learn that no one wants you
So leave here
