Roger Cook和Roger Greenaway這兩位老兄，原本都是四重唱團體The Kestrels的成員。某日，在參與巡迴演唱的某家戲院中，Greenaway告訴Cook說他寫了一首曲子，接著拿了一把烏克麗麗走到戲院外彈給他聽，並問他是否能協助寫歌詞，結果倆人花了2小時完成了這首《You've Got Your Troubles》。這首歌算是倆人的處女作，之後，倆人搭擋寫了不少的歌曲，其中包含了英國樂團The Hollies非常知名的《Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress》。





Cook & Greenaway

歌曲寫好後製成了demo帶，除了歌曲被Mills Music出版公司接受，Cook和Greenaway也簽入該公司由Tony Hiller所負責的寫歌團隊。Tony Hiller之前曾寫過幾首包含《Caroline》在內的歌曲給The Fortunes樂團，但均未入榜，這次再將這首《You've Got Your Troubles》交由The Fortuns來唱。此時的The Fortunes因之前表現成績不佳，正被Decca唱片公司考慮不擬續約，但公司內部的製作人看好這首歌，在其爭取及安排下，Decca唱片終於在1965發行了此首歌。

再說到英國未合法註冊而以船隻作為發射基地的「海盜電台」--- Radio Caroline，由於之前The Fortunes所唱的《Caroline》幾乎被視為是該電台的台歌，當然對The Fortunes感到特別親切及給予照顧。《You've Got Your Troubles》在Radio Caroline的DJ大力播放的推波助瀾下，終於登上了英國排行榜的冠軍寶座，此也為The Fortunes歷來最為知名的歌曲。


Radio Caroline ---80s

The Fortunes真的滿幸運的，背後有良好的人脈關係和資源，當時機成熟，終於使其嶄露頭角，該樂團至今仍有演唱活動。



I see that worried look upon your face,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She's found somebody else to take your place;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
I too have lost my love today,
All of my dreams have flown away.
Now just like you I sit and wonder why;
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You need some sympathy, well so do I,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
She used to love me, that I know,
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking, that we were talking
The way that lovers do.
(music break)
I too have lost my love today,
All of my dreams have flown away.
And so forgive me if I seem unkind,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
(Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend
That I ain't got no pity for you,
Well, that ain't true,
You see I lost my lost my lost my little girl too

I'd help another place, another time,
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
You've got your troubles, I got mine.
