A Lovely Tune, One of my favorite songs. Woody does some nice work on it as well.

...a tear to the heart every time I hear ...

Brilliant song and performance. I wish Ronnie Lane's music was more readily available, other than out-of-print versions from many years ago, and the odd cheapo compilation.

Both Ronnies are excellent on this beautiful song, imo.

Reminds me of London and all its derelict buildings and bombsites where we used to play as kids in the 60s. Extremely wonderful.

sublime song, as were many of Ronnie Lanes's. Very talented man of the old school style of british song British.

This one is also fantastic!

LANE: Oh, "Debris" is basically about my old man. Yeah, the Debris used to be… The Debris was down… not Petticoat Lane. Adjoining Petticoat Lane-- which is famous, everybody knows about it—is another market called Club Row, and that was all on Debris. People just used to come out there with all their chuck-outs and flotsam and jetsam and spread it out on the Debris, you know? And my father used to go down there every Sunday. Every Sunday morning, he’d take me down there and he’d root around for hours in all this shit! (Laughter) And, uh, it wasn’t until I was in New York that I realized that I quite missed it! I was feeling homesick at the time.

Ronnie with Slim Chance doing Debris+Ooh La La for a BBC broadcast:






One of those cheapo compilations mentioned earlier ( "How Come" ) was my soundtrack for the drive home from the Isle of Wight on Monday - and to make up the track quota right at the end comes this live Stones cover. Lovely surprise - I'd forgotten it was there:

Great song and album (a nod's as good as a wink) my favorite faces album..love the harmonies and guitar work

I left you on the Debris
At the Sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends.
You was looking for a bargain

I heard your footsteps at the front door,
And that old familiar love song,
Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs.

I went there and back
Just to see how far it was
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself.

Theres more trouble at the depot,
With the general workers union
And you said, "They'll never change a thing.
Well, they won't fight and their not working."

Oh you was my hero
How you are my good friend
I've been there and back
And I know how far it is

But I left you on the Debris
Now we both know you got no money.
And I wonder what you would have done
Without me hanging around.






Also love Rough Mix with Townsend

"Debris" is definitely one of his best with the Faces - and, as said before, Mr. Wood's guitar tone on that one is all-time.

Totally agree on Rough Mix; also - the Lane & Wood Mahoney's Last Stand soundtrack. The track "Just For A Moment" is total sweetness:

I saw Ian Maclagan in Austin @ Luckys Lounge on 7th Street a few years back where Mac does a regular free weekly gig on Thursdays. Super great guy, had a pint with him and I asked if he would play Debris but he said no, too close to his heart and Ronnie Lane. It's one of the best songs I've ever heard, reminds me of fall in New England, and some of the buddies I use to lobster with on Monhegan Island in Maine. Great song.

Such a tender delicate song of beauty. From the melody to the lyrics and singing, like a gentle breeze of your memories swaying among the branches of a Weeping Willow.

Ian McLagen played/sang Debris and told the story behind it during his gig in Philly Monday night June 17. Lovely song and sentiment.

Beautiful harmony vocals from Rod. Makes you wish for what could have been if they had been able to work through their differences.

Great GREAT tune off one of my fave albums. A Nids as Good.....is brilliant, start to finish
