The wind is fresh
The wind is cool
The blowing breeze makes its own rules
The wind is restless
It can harness power
I see its features changing hour by hour
Chorus:
And the wind is always beating
Everything within its range
And I’m forever facing
The emotional winds of change
The wind is rough
The wind is wild
Its gusts are like a temperamental child
The wind is stormy
Causing devastation
Hurricanes always get our attention
Chorus:
And the wind is always beating
Everything within its range
And I’m forever facing
The emotional winds of change
Bridge:
And the winds of change
Are in my mind
They can help me sail my ship
To better times
Chorus:
And the wind is always beating
Everything within its range
And I’m forever facing
The emotional winds of change

Twickenham Town

Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
Ten miles south west of London fair
Since ’26 a borough there
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
There stands the first home that I knew
18 Gladstone Avenue
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
With Howard and Theresa I would play
On swings and slides on sunny days
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
The home of English rugby games
A hundred years it’s held that name
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
The rugby game’s on Saturday
We’ll call at Lily’s on the way
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
At the Cabbage Patch we’ll sing out loud
There’s always such a friendly crowd
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)
To make a film where will you go?
They closed that famous studio
Go down, go down
Go down to Twickenham Town (Repeat)

Love and harmony combine
02:17

Love and harmony combine
And around our souls entwine
While thy branches mix with mine
And our roots together join
Joys upon our branches sit
Chirping loud and singing sweet
Like gentle streams beneath our feet
Innocence and virtue meet
Then the golden fruit dost bear
I am clad in flowers fair
Thy sweet boughs perfume the air
And the turtle buildeth there
There she sits and feeds her young
Sweet I hear her mournful song
And thy lovely leaves among
There is love I hear his tongue
There his charming nest doth lay
There he sleeps the night away
There he sports along the day
And doth among our branches play
Love and harmony combine
And around our souls entwine
While thy branches mix with mine
And our roots together join

It's only a rehearsal

7pm on Sunday
The music’s on the stand
Instruments are being tuned
My bow is in my hand
The conductor starts us off to play
It’s not this piece, I find
But it’s only a rehearsal
I’ll get it right next time
And now we’re playing happily
The tunes are flowing free
But what’s this funny noise – oh
We’ve actually changed key
5 flats? Oh de-e-ar
Well, it could sound quite sublime
But it’s only a rehearsal
I’ll get it right next time
And now it’s going at a pace
With semiquaver runs
You need 20 fingers to play this
That’s not counting the thumbs
And now it’s getting worse
Up the scale we climb
But it’s only a rehearsal…
Now we’ve got 20 bars
Of exactly the same note
This really is quite easy
No need to practise this, I gloat
Woops, we’re in bar 34
I thought we were in bar 29
But it’s only a rehearsal…
Well, we practise every Sunday night
In all kinds of weather
You can tell there’s been rain tonight
The pages are stuck together
And trying to get them unstuck
Is quite a pantomime
But it’s only a rehearsal…
It’s the day of the concert
Mistakes? There’ve been a few
The horns got two bars ahead
And the ‘cellos missed a cue
The percussion were far too loud
But cheerfully we chime…
It’s only a rehearsal
We’ll get it right next time
It’s only a rehearsal
We’ll get it right next time

Picking hops
03:02
|
|||
|
See the families arrive
In the warm September sun
Aunts and uncles, cousins too
Though it’s work they have good fun
Joan and her sisters hand in hand
How they’re laughing as they learn
To the fields they’re heading now
The harvest starts now they’ve returned
Going up, going down
Picking hops near Alton town
Those ripened flowers are ready now
For the beer they’re brewing
In the fields of yellow flowers
Every morning they’re installed
Running up old King John’s Hill
The children play until they’re called
Joan and Tommy talk a while
A strong aroma wafts on by
The fruits of their labours now
The hops are in the kiln to dry
Going up, going down
Picking hops near Alton town
Those ripened flowers are ready now
For the beer they’re brewing
Evening comes with harvest moon
Sometimes brighter than the sun
Round the campfire singing loud
With George on his accordion
Finally to bed they go
In huts, their shelter from the rain
Weary, sleeping sound all night
Till morning when they start again
Going up, going down
Picking hops near Alton town
Those ripened flowers are ready now
For the beer they’re brewing
Years pass by, the families leave
The sisters visit every year
Staying at Three Horseshoes Inn
Now old enough to taste the beer
Joan paints pictures of the huts
Reminded of the good times passed
Thinks of Tommy her old friend
And how these memories still last
Going up, going down
Picking hops near Alton town
Those ripened flowers are ready now
For the beer they’re brewing
Going up, going down
Picking hops near Alton town
Those ripened flowers are ready now
For the beer they’re brewing

The Motorola mobile song
03:39
|
|||
|
I’ve got this snazzy smartphone
It sits in my bag over there
It gives a little announcement
That someone has something to share
Is it a text or an email
An update or someone’s new tweet?
I’d check it but after the tenth time
I’d rather save my poor feet, oh
When I’m at work on my own
Or watching the TV at home
My phone goes do do do
But I don’t know which app it’s on
Perhaps I should keep it by me
For as soon as I’ve put it down
It gives that little announcement
And I curse with a colourful noun
Sometimes it’s quiet for hours
I wonder if something is wrong
Then three times in five minutes
The icons don’t show very long, oh
When I’m at work on my own
Or watching the TV at home
My phone goes do do do
But I don’t know which app it’s on
Yes, I admit it’s a Godsend
Phone, email, text in one place
You can play games and listen to music
It’s amazing it’s got all that space
Oh I love my Motorola
It’s probably my second best friend
I even love its do-doing
Though it sometimes drives me round the bend, oh
When I’m at work on my own
Or watching the TV at home
My phone goes do do do
But I don’t know which app it’s on
Repeat Chorus

One simple song
03:48
|
|||
|
When little frustrations are getting you down
When smiling is being replaced by a frown
Lift up your heart and sing for the day
Just one simple song can drive dull cares away
Drive dull cares away
Drive dull cares away
Just one simple song can drive dull cares away
When feeling downhearted and dead on your feet
When you don’t want to mingle with people you meet
Music brings colour when feelings are grey
Just one simple song can keep sorrows at bay
Keep sorrows at bay
Keep sorrows at bay
Just one simple song can keep sorrows at bay
When listening carefully to a song that you’ve found
A harmony can rearrange a whole sound
A third or a fourth or a fifth from the tune
Just one simple song can fly you to the moon
Fly you to the moon
Fly you to the moon
Just one simple song can fly you to the moon
A tune can be whistled or hummed quietly
Develop a rhythm, establish a key
Words tell a story or give feelings away
Just one simple song will shine on, come what may
Shine on, come what may
Shine on, come what may
Just one simple song will shine on, come what may
Believe in yourself, keep great company
Sing out or listen, let emotions run free
It doesn’t matter if the tuning’s astray
Just one simple song can brighten your day
Can brighten your day
Can brighten your day
Just one simple song can brighten your day
Can brighten your day
Can brighten your day
Just one simple song can brighten your day

Round the clock
05:25
|
|||
|
Maggie and Jo arrive at 11
Part of the Marie Curie team
District nurse Penny at 2pm
To check is all is well as it seems
Then Jodie and Laura at 4 o’clock
At 7 the Rowan nurses take their turn
Twilight nurses on hand through the night
For life goes on
And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile
They have the kindest of hearts
The bravest of souls they remain
Like angels of mercy they spread their wings
As they call on the sick to ease their pain
Uniforms of blue, daffodil pins
Pocket watches showing hours gone
No one could fault their dedication
And life goes on
And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile
And for someone their life is ending
It is ending today
And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile
And they’re working round the clock
24/7, it never stops
Giving their time all the while
Always caring with a smile

All through the night
02:31
|

|
Every star in heaven is singing
All through the night
Hear the glorious music ringing
All through the night
Songs of sweet ethereal lightness
Wrought in realms of peace and whiteness
See the dark gives way to brightness
All through the night
Look my love, the stars are shining
All through the night
Lighting, soothing and beguiling
Earth’s sombre plight
So when age brings grief and sorrow
From each other we can borrow
Faith in our sublime tomorrow
All through the night
Holl amrantau'r sêr ddywedant
Ar hyd y nos
"Dyma'r ffordd i fro gogoniant,"
Ar hyd y nos.
Golau arall yw tywyllwch
I arddangos gwir brydferthwch
Teulu'r nefoedd mewn tawelwch
Ar hyd y nos

The dancing flames
03:46
|
|||
|
In the dancing flames I can see my life
It’s the youthful promise of a better life
My energy, ambition and my hope are unchanging
The impulsive child, my soul is raging
Like the flames I want to leap and touch the sky
Frustrated ‘cause I can’t reach that high
And the flames dance on, dance on
In the auspicious light of the full moon
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the glowing embers I can see my life
It’s the sweet contentment of a simple life
Nurturing, enriching, giving warmth to others
Lying below the flames, the love of fathers and mothers
Like the embers I am satisfied to be
And accepting that I’m not always free
And the embers glow and glow
In the auspicious light of the full moon
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the still grey ash I can see my life
It’s the resolution of an aging life
Remembering, reflecting on the time that’s passing
All that’s left are memories just for the asking
Like the ash I am frail and grey
For centuries it’s always been that way
And the grey ash settles in the ground
In the auspicious light of the full moon
Will the end come too soon?
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the dancing flames
And the glowing embers
And the still grey ash
In the middle of the night
