Strawbs
Strawbs (or The Strawbs) are an English rock band founded in 1964. Although the band started out as a bluegrass group they eventually moved on to other styles such as folk rock, progressive rock, and (briefly) glam rock.
They are best known for their hit, "Part of the Union", which reached number two in the UK charts in February 1973, as well as for "Lay Down" a popular Progressive Rock hit from the same LP. The Strawbs also toured with Supertramp in their "Crime of the Century" tour, doing their own "Hero and Heroine" tour, which drew musical similarities and themes.
History
Early days
They were originally known as the Strawberry Hill Boys — from St Mary's Teacher Training College, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. Their long-time leader and most active songwriter is guitarist and singer Dave Cousins (guitar, dulcimer, banjo, vocals) (born David Joseph Hindson, 7 January 1945, in Hounslow, Middlesex). In the early days Strawbs played with Sandy Denny, (later lead singer of Fairport Convention and Fotheringay).
Strawbs (album)
Strawbs is the debut studio album by English band Strawbs. (The Sandy Denny & The Strawbs LP All Our Own Work released in Denmark is generally not counted.)
Not initially issued in the US, US A&M did issue two singles ("Oh How She's Changed" b/w "Or Am I Dreaming", and "The Man Who Called Himself Jesus" b/w "Poor Jimmy Wilson").

Heartbreaker
by: StrawbsWell anyway it's a long story. She's been waiting for so long.
Still got the songs in her mind and the autograph on
the photograph. She's got a past full of secrets. She's got
a clock on her feelings. Back from the days when she used to
have wings. She had a dream full of anger. She had a dream
full of action. Afraid to get old she feels so cold. Such a typical
reaction.
Chorus:
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. She wanted to be a heartbreaker. Oh yeah,
she was so greedy but lousy lovemaker. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
She wanted to be a heartbreaker. (Oh yeah)
She used to be a queen of the scene. She had a key
but she lost it. Nothing's gonna last and the time goes fast
-she knows. She had a man but she messed it up again.
She had a chance but she blew it. She's gotta little babyboy
in her womb but she doesn't have a clue yet, she doesn't have
a clue yet.
Chorus
Striking her down. Crushing her to the ground.
(Heartbreaker. (6x))
Chorus
