    1960s-1970s song - recording available
    Hallo everyone, I've got a recording of a song in English that my father copied to his reel tape recorder in the early 1970s when he played in a band. That was in the Soviet times so hardly anyone knew foreign band names. My father tells me the song was recorded on the same reel with the Searches but it doesn't seem to be their song. The recording is very poor because my father made an mp3 from that reel tape only a few years ago. Surely I catch several phrases from the lyrics so I tried Googling but it doesn't give any results.
    You can download the song here: http://allcorrect.ru/files/files/for...ined_music.mp3
    Please help identify the song! Thanks in advance!
    The song begins with something like:

    I have known from what I['ve felt]
    Surely now she's got all right
    Aaah she gets me down all right
    ...
    No no no no

    Not the Beatles, but the music sounds like it could have been influenced by them. I can't find any songs with the lyrics, which I have posted as I heard them:

    I come home from work at night
    Sure enough she's full of fight
    Aww, she gets me down all right
    (garbled) mine?

    Ah, hey hey hey

    Says she has too much to do
    Ah but if she only knew
    How I am/I'm not willing to
    With her all the time?

    She's always throwing trouble at me
    She doesn't seem to care about me now no
    And I'm not coming home to you Roland Dro? (rolandro)?

    Nah, no no no

    I return to _ _ drink
    Watching _ _ in the sink?
    Little did I ever think, that would be so

    Ah, no no no

    How I wish I could return
    To the thing for which I yearn
    But we haven't/have no _ _...

    (who knows?) not me

    Hallo hauser5, thank you for transcribing the song - it makes some sense now ;)
    By the way, I would interpret
    "Roland Dro" as "moan and groan",
    "I return to _ _ drink" as "I return to final drink",
    "But we haven't/have no _ _ ....." as "But we haven't ever learned"
    What do you think?

    I think what you are interperting as Roland Dro or moan and groan is actually him saying the girl's name - but I can't make out what it is.

    I feel like I know this group - but I can't put my finger on it. At first I thought The Byrds, but I don't think that's right. Do you have anything else by them?

    Hallo Everyone!
    At one forum a girl answered my question - the song is actually "Trouble and Tea" by Manfred Mann (As Is album, 1966).
    Thanks all :)

    Thanks for getting back to us with the answer. I never would have guessed it was Manfred Mann.
