Looking at this old photograph
I have to say it makes me laugh
Those underpants that Rob had on
To Uncle George did they belong
A happy childhood so carefree
Leaving me with pleasant memories
Sometimes they make me feel sad
Despite the fun times that we had
The photographs are black and white
Smiling children with great delight
Eating ice cream on a holiday
A faded happy yesterday
A happy childhood so carefree
Leaving me with pleasant memories
Sometimes they make me feel sad
Despite the fun times that we had

I Can See Much More
03:09
|
|||
|
So much I'd not noticed before
Why I hadn't I'm not sure
Now with a discerning eye
I see much more to my surprise
I can see more than I did before
A fairing in my dining room
Surely it's a family heirloom
On a letter box George the Fifth
A red metal monolith
So much I'd not noticed before
Why I hadn't I'm not sure
Now with a discerning eye
I see much more to my surprise
I can see more than I did before
A blue plaque on the Torbay Hotel
Where Shackleton said farewell
A stone laid by Arthur Cain
So that we won't forget her name
Manhole covers that say Torquay
But many more say Thomas Dudley
So much I'd not noticed before
Why I hadn't I'm not sure
Now with a discerning eye
I see much more to my surprise
I can see more than I did before

God Aid the Marshal
02:29
|
|||
|
To the tournaments he travelled
Testing his mettle in battle
Into the melee to be thrust
Fighting bravely until dusk
Taking prisoners was his aim
To ransom for financial gain
As a knight he tried
For his honour he strived
At the tournament see him ride
Hear the herald his name cried
God aid the Marshal
William Marshal of renowned fame
At the tourney cemented his name
Hundreds of knights he's taken
A record never to be forsaken
At the tournament see him ride
Hear the herald his name cried
God aid the Marshal
Under five kings he served
Fame and and honour he does deserve
At Lincoln the French he did rout
To save the throne without doubt
At the tournament see him ride
Hear the herald his name cried
God aid the Marshal
God aid the Marshal
God aid the Marshal

Love Dies
02:33
|
|||
|
Wake in the morning
Head in hands
The day slips
Away like sand
Beneath the crystal sky we walk
At night the stars shine cold and talk
Reflected in our hearts we cried
And then we knew that love had died
Life gathers dust
And then forgets
Ghosts come home
Climbing steps
Beneath the crystal sky we walk
At night the stars shine cold and talk
Reflected in our hearts we cried
And then we knew that love had died
Beneath the crystal sky we walk
At night the stars shine cold and talk
Reflected in our hearts we cried
And then we knew that love had died
That love had died
That love had died

The Jameson Satellite
03:47
|
|||
|
Professor Jameson sought a plan
Some might think him not a wise man
After death his body to preserve
His solution we shall now observe
His coffin was the Jameson satellite
Propelled into space like a meteorite
For aeons revolving around the Earth
Where he had died and the place of his birth
Generation after generation passed away
The rule of mankind had had it’s final day
Other races would then arrive
But each in their turn would also die
Billions of years in a far off time
Our Sun is no longer in it’s prime
Stars are born and then they die
The Sun used up it’s hydrogen supply
In the Solar System from far off Zor
A strange spaceship the Zoromes saw
It was the Jameson satellite
So small it was an intriguing sight
25X987
Perhaps one with a number eleven
8B52
These were just some of the Zorome crew
They removed the body revived the brain
So the professor might live once again
They gave him a body like their own
Made of metal not flesh and bone
Made of metal not flesh and bone

The Half Angel
03:09
|
|||
|
Such a warm September evening
Thoughts of harvest had me thinking
From my office my soul destroyed
To the museum which I so enjoyed
An angel arrived at the close of the day
A metal detectorist called to say
Something he had discovered
A piece of history may be recovered
Dave Bethell held it in his hand
When I saw it I could understand
His excitement for a special find
The discovery of a lifetime in his mind
A gold half angel so very rare
See the boar’s head just there
The king’s arms on the reverse
But would this coin be a gold curse
A metal detectorist dream come true
News travels fast and soon we knew
Of offers sinister and absurd
For that gold coin of Richard the Third
The devil rides upon your back
And your faith it will attack
But an angel gave me belief
To defy the rich collecting thief

Lease on Your Heart
03:07
|
|||
|
You’ve heard this story many times before
You hope to be in love forever more
You told me that we were doing fine
But now I’m not worthy of your time
I had a lease on your heart
A short lived affair from the start
I had a lease on your heart
I had a lease on your heart
Of your true feelings I’m not sure
But I guess I’ll try just once more
The words my mind cannot convey
I love you so much what can I say
I had a lease on your heart
A short lived affair from the start
I had a lease on your heart
I had a lease on your heart
My heart for sale not for rent
And I thought your love was heaven sent
I know that you used to love me
But it was only temporary
You’ve heard this story many times before
You hope to be in love forever more
You told me that we were doing fine
But now I’m not worthy of your time
I had a lease on your heart
A short lived affair from the start
I had a lease on your heart
I had a lease on your heart

St Albans Way
02:34

Walking along down Woodville Road
I saw Warwick Close
In Lancaster Gardens a red rose
Taken to York Close
Percy Street who might you meet
St Albans Way such a strange day
Clarence Street who might we greet
Back to St Albans Way
Walking towards King Edward’s Court
Can you see there’s York Close
In the Garden a white rose
Right there in York Close
Percy Street who might you meet
St Albans Way such a strange day
Clarence Street who might we greet
Then to St Albans Way
Walking down Beaufort Road
I saw Warwick Close
In the garden a Tudor rose
Right next to York Close
Percy Street who might you meet
St Albans Way such a strange day
Clarence Street who might we greet
Then to St Albans Way

Driftwood
03:07
|

|
I look for your open window
I look for your welcome smile
Just that easy how you doing
Makes me want to stay a while
Lazy, driftwood, waiting for the tide to turn
Take things slowly, watching my sad bridges burn
Seagull skies, wheeling, feeling free again
Laughing eyes, finding I can smile again
Summer days, sunshine on my face again
Things you say clear my mind
Summer ending, chill breeze blowing
Arms around me keep me warm
Sunshines gone but I'm not leaving
Close the door against the storm
Driftwood dreaming fingers lacing into mine
White waves breaking
But love won't break my heart this time
Driftwood dreaming

Wake up

You've got money to burn
Watching the pennies is no concern
You drive a fast car down the street
Pretty girls crawl at your feet
Wake up you're dreaming again
You've been dreaming since I don't know when
Wake up wake up my friend
Your fantasy just has to end
This fantasy just has to end
You're famous and you're on stage
The songs you sing are all the rage
Your latest song is number one
The radio plays it all day long
Wake up you're dreaming again
You've been dreaming since I don't know when
Wake up wake up my friend
Your fantasy just has to end
This fantasy just has to end
Your girlfriend she is so attractive
Hair of gold she looks fantastic
You know she can't resist you
As she leans close to kiss you
Wake up you're dreaming again
You've been dreaming since I don't know when
Wake up wake up my friend
Your fantasy just has to end
This fantasy just has to end

My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
Metal detecting archaeology
When my Dad passed away it was passed to me
My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
My Dad was my hero he looked after me
Took me on detecting trips such fun you could guarantee
My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
Metal detecting archaeology
When my Dad passed away it was passed to me
My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
My Dad and my Uncle out there in a field
Dreaming of what we might find what might be revealed
My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
Metal detecting archaeology
When my Dad passed away it was passed to me
My Dad’s C Scope 600
Oh what a memory
Beneath our feet we never knew what might be concealed
When we dug into the mud what might it yield

Oh what a memory
