Nice Chuckie. Thank you so much. Takes me right back to Barcelona, where I lived for 7 months.
I don't remember whether I've already posted this earlier, because I did post a series of songs from that album a while ago. It's a really clever thing, really — a song within a song. "Drowning on dry land" is the parent song, and "Fish Soup" is the embedded instrumental piece.
The song was written by Dave Flett (lead guitar), Manfred Mann (keyboards) and Chris Slade (drums).

Sitting in a silent room
The walls around me screaming
Rely on nothing wait on no-one
Standing between light and dark
Watch the mirrors gleaming
Shine on nothing showing no-one
Drowning on dry land
Cast adrift on an empty sea
Drowning on dry land
Put aside with the will to be
Stranded at the break of dawn
And where the story's ending
Tells of nothing hearing no-one
I stand without a word to say
The silent room is empty
Sings of nothing changing no-one
Drowning on dry land
Cast adrift on an empty sea
Drowning on dry land
Put aside with the will to be
Here's a couple more covers from them as they're quite good. "Nothing left for me to do but dance"

That is just a great song...but I have to admit that I think this is the best rendition I've heard:

I used to listen to the original song a lot in my teens.
