Chris Rea - The Mention Of Your Name

“The Mention Of Your Name“ appears on the album “Auberge“. Auberge (a French word meaning “inn“) is an album by Chris Rea, released in 1991. The album as well as the title song was mostly notable for the association of the Caterham Super Seven that he owned, in which he called it the “Blue Seven“. That car appeared on the album cover, illustrated in oil by renowned motoring artist Alan Fearnley. The album makes several reference to the car over several tracks, as well on the video of the title song and its cover illustration was used for its adverts. In 2005, Rea sold his car in an auction. Auberge was a #1 album in the UK in 1991. The title track also gave Rea one of his biggest chart hits, reaching #16 in the UK charts. Lyrics: Time goes by and every single tear It must have well run dry And the lonely nights Become a strange accepted way And the years go past Just like the old song says The pain with time has healed, it couldn’t last But oh a friend like a fool Mentions your name Sunny days, drunken nights You smile and say, it’s alright But oh the cold cold rain At the mention of your name Forgive me please If I shrug my shoulders When I put my friend at ease As I get older It’s not that I don’t feel colder than before Oh I’ve become so good at hiding What I feel without confiding It’s still the same, darling still the same At the mention of your name.
