3) The English Band
The jazz-inflected, London-based group Charlie was as well-known for the sexy babes on their album covers as they were for their close, smooth harmonies and slick, catchy singles like ´Turning´ and ´Watching TV.´ The band´s core lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Terry Thomas (who had also been in a band with Free and Bad Company´s Simon Kirke), bassist/vocalist John Anderson (formerly of Axe) and drummer Steve Gadd (not to be confused with the american session-drummer), and a wide array of supporting players, including keyboardist Julian Colbeck, guitarist Martin Smith, auxiliary drummer Shep Lonsdale and former Argent members Bob Henrit and John Verity. Their radio-friendly sound debuted in 1976 with ´Fantasy Girls´ and the group managed a steady stream of moderate FM hits in the US and the UK, including 1978´s ´Killer Cut´ and ´She Loves To Be In Love.´ However, Charlie´s biggest success came with the 1983 hit ´It's Inevitable,´ which recieved considerable airplay from MTV and was featured on their self-titled 7th album. Despite the added prominence this single and tours with the Doobie Brothers, Styx, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and the Kinks brought them, the group remained primarily a cult favorite for their nearly decade-long career. Charlie´s swan song came in 1984 with ´In Pursuit Of Romance´, which featured Thomas as the only original member. Four of their albums -- ´Fight Dirty´, ´Good Morning America´, ´Here Comes Trouble´ and ´No Second Chance´ -- were re-released as CD two-fer packages from Renaissance Records in the late 90´s; the label also released ´Best Of Charlie´ in early 2000.
In 2009 the band released a new album named Kitchens of Distinction

It's Your Life
Charlie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I make up my mind, what shall I do?
Solutions aren't easy to find with no help from you
Put all these troubles behind, start something new - it's your life
It's very hard just to say, we're wasting time
There's always another day to make up my mind
You also must have your say in what we must find - it's your life
That we can ensure nobody can lose
But where do you start when love's been around
For such a long time, oh how do you choose
We know very well how good it can be
How good it has been for these past few years
Can we chuck it all, now knowing what's next
Without breaking hearts, without shedding tears
The lyrics to Charlie's song "It's Your Life" convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty about making a big decision that will impact one's life. The singer is struggling to make up his mind on which path to take and feels lost without any guidance from others. He urges himself to leave his troubles behind and start something new. However, the decision isn't just his to make, and he acknowledges the importance of considering his partner's perspective as well. The song highlights the difficulty in giving up on something that has been good for a long time, but also the fear of not knowing what will happen next.
The lyrics suggest that the decision the singer is struggling with is related to love, and whether or not to end a long-standing relationship. He acknowledges the good times and memories they've had but still wonders if it's time to end things. This internal conflict is relatable, as many people grapple with similar decisions in their own relationships.
Overall, "It's Your Life" is a song that encourages listeners to trust their instincts and make the best decision for themselves. It acknowledges the difficulty and fear of change but ultimately empowers individuals to take ownership of their lives.
