![]() It started raining golf balls, she protected me So I could watch the golf girl, could see she fancied meĪnd later on the golf course after drinking tea So, of course I had to have one, in fact I ordered three She asked me did I want one, asked me with a grinįor thruppence you can buy one full right to the brim I chanced upon a golf girl selling cups of tea Of course Trisha became Pat and the rest is history!” All of that was happening in his life at the time. The original version of Golf Girl was a very personal song about him and Trisha, his wife to be. When a song reaches its final stage, he changes lyrics to become less personal. “He writes about things that are very close to him, like his friends and family and so on. “Richard is a very endearing writer,” says guitarist Pye Hastings in the liner notes of the 2011 album reissue. The song is a charmingly naïve story about falling in love with the lady who sells tea at the golf course, and finding a secluded spot safe from flying golf balls where they can share a first kiss. Written by bass player Richard Sinclair, this is a personal song that took his domestic life as its inspiration – more specifically, the story of how he met his wife. Golf Girl is the track that opens the album. The original line-up would eventually reunite on 1982’s Back To Front. It was the last album to feature the original line-up of Pye Hastings (guitars, vocals), Richard Sinclair (bass, vocals), Richard Coughlan (drums), and Dave Sinclair (keyboards) due to the latter’s departure later in the year. The album was produced by David Hitchcock (also known for producing other prog acts like Genesis, Camel, Curved Air, and Renaissance). They had started to build a live following in the very early 1970s, during which they created their third and most critically acclaimed album In the Land of Grey And Pink (1971). This utterly belies their historical importance to the British rock landscape, as they are considered a key part of the Canterbury scene of progressive rock acts that grew into prominence in the 1970s. They never achieved widespread commercial success, only racking up a total of two weeks on the official UK album chart in their career. Caravan is an English band from the Canterbury area formed in 1968. ![]()
