    Does anybody remember the E.S.B ad from the 90's with a son coming home and his mother is making the bed and the car pulls into the drive and she's looking out the window etc etc? does anybody remember the theme song? It goes something like "And then I'll play the game of life/love and win..." :confused:

    Artist: Dusty Springfield
    Album: Very Best Of Dusty Springfield
    Title: Goin' Back


    (gerry goffin & carole king)

    I think i'm goin' back
    To the things
    I learned so well
    In my youth

    I think i'm returning to
    Those days
    When i was young enough
    To know the truth

    Now there are no games
    To only pass the time
    No more colouring books
    No christmas bells to chime

    But thinking young
    And growing older
    Is no sin
    And i can play
    The game of life to win

    I can recall the time
    When i wasn't ashamed
    To reach out to a friend

    I'm pretty another E.S.B ad title song was by Paul Brady, titled "Follow On". I was searching for it for ages!
