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

Charlie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, until then

That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want
A girl
To call

I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream

Line by Line Meaning
Every night I hope and pray
I spend every night wishing and asking for something
A dream lover will come my way
Specifically, I wish for a romantic partner to appear in my life
A girl to hold in my arms
Someone to embrace physically
And know the magic of her charms
To experience the unique qualities that attract me to her
'Cause I want
Because I desire
A girl
A female romantic partner
To call
To have as mine
My own
Exclusively mine
I want a dream lover
I want a romantic partner who exists in my imagination or dreams
So I don't have to dream alone
So that I don't have to experience my desires alone and can fulfill them with someone else
Dream lover, where are you
I am still looking for my dream lover
With a love, oh, so true
Someone who loves me genuinely and sincerely
And the hand that I can hold
Someone whose physical touch is comforting and fulfilling
To feel you near as I grow old
Someone to share my life with as I age
Someday, I don't know how
At some point in the future, although I am not sure how or when
I hope she'll hear my plea
I hope that the person I'm searching for will somehow receive my message and respond positively
Some way, I don't know how
In some manner or method that is unclear to me
She'll bring her love to me
She will offer me her genuine feelings of love and care
Dream lover, until then
Until I find my dream lover in reality
I'll go to sleep and dream again
I will continue to imagine and dream about my ideal lover
That's the only thing to do
There is no other option or solution
Till all my lover's dreams come true
Until I find someone who fulfills all my romantic desires and wishes
Please don't make me dream alone
I don't want to continue wishing for someone who doesn't exist
I beg you don't make me dream alone
I plead with anyone who may be listening to bring my dream lover to me
No, I don't wanna dream
I no longer want to solely imagine or desire something that may never exist

@gordonioni
Ranks right on top with all other songs in this style. Too bad their record company screwed them. Charlie blows away all the bad bands who win awards these days. Shows us where the industry has declined - Real talent out there but hard to find.
