Pretty Things – "She's a Lover" (1970)

She sheds her summer dress

Fearing it displeases you

Dick Taylor – one of the two founding members of the Pretty Things – was an original member of the Rolling Stones, but he left the Stones five months after that group formed when he was admitted to London’s Central School of Art and Design.  (Taylor had met Keith Richards while both were students at a different art school.)

Big mistake, Dick!

You can say that again!
