What does STAINSBY GIRL mean?
When reading Chris Reas's lyrics, I can see the words that are not in the dictionary.
For example,
Some girls stole your heart
Like most girls do
But a Stainsby girl, she could break it in two
So, who is a Stainsby girl?Sorry, I mean Chris Rea's lyrics

comments: Awesome song!
Fact - Chris is from my hometown of Middlesbrough and this song is written about the girls at his and mine Secondary school STAINSBY SCHOOL (now known as ACKLAM GRANGE SECONDARY SCHOOL) Which in Chris' day was split into a boys and girls school....Not a lot of people know that.

It's a great pity you have missed out on this opportunity to see such a well liked performer, I hope you have another chance soon, meanwhile keep singing:)
