Pickettywitch – “Same Old Feeling”

In 1970 English band Pickettywitch, with female lead singer Polly Brown (sometimes billed as Polly Browne) had a hit single with “Same Old Feeling”.

It reached Number Five on the UK singles chart that year, and No. 67 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1970.

Pickettywitch only actually existed, with several lineup changes, from 1969 to 1973.

I’m not surprised “Same Old Feeling” did so well, even if it didn’t make it to the very top of the charts.

It has a very memorable tune, and I can still remember at least some of the words…

“I still get the same old feeling, Tearing my heart inside out, Telling me without a doubt, I’m still not over you, I still get the same old yearning…”, that’s about as far as I go. 🙂

Anyway, see for yourself, or rather listen, here is “Same Old Feeling”:

OK, so I went back and checked… turns out I kind of remembered the words. Just got them a bit mixed up.

This is what she really sings:

“But I still get that same old feeling, Tearing at this heart of mine, Telling me that baby I’m, Not really over you, I still get that same old yearning, Tearing my heart inside out, Oh but now there can’t be any doubt, I’m still not over you.”

Oh well. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. But it’s all over now, baby blue…
