A Journey Back in Time

TAKE A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME
I WONDER WHAT WE MIGHT FIND
THE LAST ICE AGE HAS DEPARTED
THE HISTORY LESSON HAS NOW STARTED
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
TAKE A JOURNEY BACK THROUGH TIME
I WONDER WHAT WE MIGHT FIND
THE SECRETS OF STONEHENGE REVEALED
THAT THE MISTS OF TIME HAVE CONCEALED
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
TAKE A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME
I WONDER WHAT WE MIGHT FIND
THE ROMAN LEGIONS HERE THEN GONE
DARK AGES LINGERING FOR SO LONG
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME
BACK IN TIME, BACK IN TIME

Sanctuary
03:35
|
|||
|
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
His mother waking with the dawn
Told that King Henry had been restored
The Kingmaker once again supreme
The poor King Henry in a dream
To sanctuary a queen had fled
For the Earl of Warwick she did dread
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
Though leaving England he had sworn
That the House of York would be restored
For King Edward had to flee
For the safety of Burgundy
To Warwick many declared their hand
When at Dartmouth he did land
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
Crying with the waking dawn
Would his father's crown be restored
Greeting Henry as his lawful king
Greeting and freedom he did bring
When Warwick to London he did arrive
The House of Lancaster to revive
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord

They Came to Edinburgh
03:24
|
|||
|
With countless sheaves of arrows
And ordnance from the Tyne
An army of twenty thousand men
Their intent this did define
And when they came to Edinburgh
The castle they could not attack
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
But for this English army
This time there was no fight
They found that the men of Scotland
Had disappeared out of sight
And when they came to Edinburgh
The castle they could not attack
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
And when they came to Edinburgh
The castle they could not attack
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
With countless sheaves of arrows
And ordnance from the Tyne
An army of twenty thousand men
Their intent this did define
And when they came to Edinburgh
The castle they could not attack
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
And when they came to Edinburgh
The castle they could not attack
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
To James the Third of Scotland
The town they did give back
The town they did give back

Who Lays There
03:22
|
|||
|
Upon the hill see the church
The history there to research
Bleak and grey for Tudor folk
Open the door of ancient oak
A corner of this church in Devon
John Evan's chantry his bid for heaven
A missing prince in stained glass
An unsolved mystery of the past
The Princes last seen in the tower
King Richard blamed for misuse of power
But is the truth behind a screen
Lament lament the Woodville queen
From Bosworth perhaps Sir John had come
To Coldridge rewarded for deeds done
Deer park and manor his to keep
To resolve a mystery we now seek
Did he feel a stony stare
Hear witch's tongues so evil there
In the stained glass window did he see himself
Guilt praise despair or something else
See the carved stone of Sir John
Did a Woodville Queen save her son
Perhaps King Edward' s son and heir
Inside the tomb who layeth there

The Spanish Are Coming
01:47
|
|||
|
The alarms were sounded
Church bells rang out
The Spanish are coming
Up went the shout
Greenery thrown onto signal fires
To create smoke as the warning arrives
Lord Howard's Fleet
Awaits the news
On all the ships
Are the anxious crews
In the mouth of the Tamar and Plymouth sound
The English ships are gathered around
Onshore many pray through the night
The sails of the armada seen in the morning light
Smoke and thunder
Of the cannons blast
As the English ships
Fight the Spaniards at last
From the coast they watch the battle unfold
Attacking the armada the English so bold
The Spanish are coming so they were told

King William of Orange
03:22
|
|||
|
With many ships and many men
William sailed for Torbay
This made James think again
When his fleet was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
James took a second wife
Mary of Modena
To help his Catholic life
Sound judgement was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
In fog and mist along the English coast
William came to Brixham
James feared him the most
And bloodshed was evaded
When England was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
A Foolish King James the Second
To be Catholic he had reckoned
Would convert England back to Rome
But due to this he lost his throne
Go to Brixham and you will see
A statue of white marble
William of Orange on the quay
The smells can't be evaded
And the tourists have invaded
But don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created
Oh no don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created

They Kept on Marching
03:32
|
|||
|
The Salvation Army was marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
They'd marched through the town
Unmolested for six years
Saving many souls
Like God's new pioneers
The Salvation Army was marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene
The local board passed
A new harbourside Act
In the thirty eighth clause
Was a little known fact
No procession was allowed
On any Sunday
Except of the military
So the Act did say
To the Salvation Army
Many fines were handed out
Prison sentences served
Of that there is no doubt
The Salvation Army kept on marching in Torquay
With the sound of a trumpet and a joyful tambourine
Sustaining their challenge to authority
This confrontation caused such a public scene

Drinking Fountains
02:52
|

|
First chorus
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
First verse
If you've toiled up Meadfoot Hill
Take a rest and drink your fill
Mr Trant has built a fountain
For those who climb this seaside mountain
Second chorus
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
Second verse
To Watcombe on a cycle run
To Lion Rocks you go for fun
At the fountain take a rest
Mr Bosanquet's name be blessed
Third verse
But Torquay's mayor and corporation
Have caused some local aggravation
Ellacombe's fountians have run dry
The public want the reason why
Middle bit
The drinking fountians of Torquay
Will surely quench your thirst for free
Last verse
At Old Maid's Perch and Penny's Hill
St Marychurch and Chapel Hill
All around old Torquay town
Drinking fountains can be found
Last chorus
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear

Holidays in Cornwall
02:57
|

In Cornwall a holiday by the sea
Childhood memories feeling carefree
Soft warm sand between my toes
Flying a kite into the sky it goes
Feeling so happy as the tide rolls out
Jumping in the surf with a joyful shout
Feeling so happy with my bucket and spade
So many sandcastles that I made
In Bude the holidays I loved the best
With building sandcastles I was obsessed
The clear blue sky not a cloud in sight
The summer sun oh so bright
Feeling so happy as the tide rolls out
Jumping in the surf with a joyful shout
Feeling so happy with my bucket and spade
So many sandcastles that I made
Donkey rides in the sun
Those holidays were so much fun
Watching the Punch & Judy show
And then back to the beach we'd go

The Metal Detectorist
03:22
|
|||
|
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
My gold stater of the Dobunni tribe
The thrill of finding it I can't describe
Two thousand years lost in the ground
Such a precious thing that I have found
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
This Roman coin found on a farm
A Faustina denarii has so much charm
It was in Pershore in Worcestershire
There in a field in the mud and mire
I'm metal detecting tomorrow
If it's a good one I'll let you know
To find a hammered coin would be great
Then a hammy dance to celebrate
Another coin I can show to you
Is dated sixteen eighty two
It's the best one I've found so far this year
The King's head on it is so very clear
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
How they were lost we will never know

The Horseman Came Riding
03:24
|
|||
|
A horseman came riding a riding one day
Upon his steed of silvery grey
His eyes fell upon a glorious sight
A raven haired maiden in a gown that was white
Good morning to you said the young man
May I ask your name and where you are bound
My name is of no consequence to you
Nor where I am travelling travelling to
You know of course that this forest is famed
For giants goblins and dragons untamed
On hearing this the maid stopped short
And began to give her journey some thought
Eleanor sir is my given name
And my home is to where where I am bound
So she rode with him into the forest so deep
But they didn't hear the evil beast creep
From out of the trees a dragon appeared
Barring their way as they had feared
With nostrils aflame and eyes ablaze
The bold young man returned the beast's gaze
His hand reached down to grab his sword
And at them the beast savagely roared
At the dragon's heart the brave man struck
And killed that dragon with more than good luck
The creature died before their own eyes
And the young man had gained a precious prize
His future decided in that very place
As he held Eleanor in a tender embrace

My White Surrey
03:21
|

|
His standard proudly on display
The burnished armour shines
Richard upon White Surrey
His knights fall in behind
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
The medieval cannons blast
At Henry Tudor's men
Richard upon White Surrey
Facing death again
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
The horses reaching gallop
The lances coming down
Richard upon White Surrey
Thunder on the ground
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
My horse my horse my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
For York and England my White Surrey
