Zoot (band)
Zoot were a pop/rock band formed in Adelaide, South Australia in 1965 as Down the Line. They changed their name to Zoot in 1967 and by 1968 had relocated to Melbourne. They had a top five hit on the Go-Set national singles chart with a heavy rock cover of The Beatles' ballad "Eleanor Rigby" released in 1970; but they disbanded in May 1971.
Mainstay bass guitarist, Beeb Birtles, was later a founder of Little River Band in 1975 and guitarist singer-songwriter, Rick Springfield, who moved to the United States in 1972, achieved international fame as a solo artist, songwriter and actor.
Zoot reunited for the Rick Springfield and Friends cruise in November 2011.
Early years
Plympton High School mates John D'Arcy on guitars and vocals, and Gerard Bertlekamp (later known as Beeb Birtles) initially on lead guitar and vocals formed Times Unlimited in Adelaide, South Australia with drummer Ted Higgins and a bass guitarist in 1964. Birtles moved to bass guitar and they were joined by Darryl Cotton, lead vocalist from local rivals, The Murmen. The new group of Birtles, Cotton, D'Arcy and Higgins formed in 1965, and were named Down the Line from The Hollies version of Roy Orbison's "Go Go Go (Down the Line)". Soon Gordon Rawson, an ex-school mate of Birtles, briefly joined on rhythm guitar.

Upsets And Downfalls
by: The Ready SetIt's hard to write out an apology
Am I the person I'm supposed to be
Cause I'm a lover in a fighter's club
If my words fail to hold true
Then I think you should know
(Should know, should know)
I couldn't tell you to leave if I had to
But I can't make you believe that I want you
So please come over and I'll make right
All the sad nights and hard lines
And I will look you in the eye
Cause it's not over yet
Here we go
Give me your heart
Because I need it like I used to
You are a star shining down on me
I had a chance
And the chance is that
Baby this is all I need
See I've been running races on my own time
Shutting out the people
Who have stuck with me my whole life
So if there's something I could say
To re-stitch the ties that I let fray
Then I would surely patch that tear
Cause loose ends can go nowhere
Give me your heart
Because I need it like I used to
You are a star shining down on me
I had a chance
And the chance is that
Baby this is all I need
Give me your heart
Because I need it like I used to
You are a star shining down on me
I had a chance
And the chance is that
Baby this is all I need
Go ahead
My mouth won't say
I love that you love me
I swear that's the case
If you're left with only tears
I'm stuck with these nightmares
These ghosts and these fears
I won't let you down
I'm gonna run through the night
Till my soul's taking flight
Live in the stars
I'm watching the skies open up
With my arms waving out
Oh I've missed you badly
Give me your heart
Because I need it like I used to
You are a star shining down on me
I had a chance
And the chance is that
Baby this is all I need
Give me your heart
Because I need it like I used to
You are a star shining down on me
I had a chance
And the chance is that
Baby this is all I need
