Transport of Delight
Some talk of a Lagonda
Some like a smart MG
Or for bonny army lorry
They’d lay them down and dee
Such means of locomotion
Seem rather dull to us
The Driver and Conductor of
A London Omnibus
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
If you are lost in London
And you don’t know where you are
You’ll hear my voice a calling
“Pass further down the car!”
And very soon you’ll find yourself inside the
terminus
In a London Transport diesel engine 97 Horse
Power Omnibus!
I stops when I’m requested, although it
spoils the ride
So he can shout “Get aht of it we’re full
right up inside!”
We don’t ask much for wages, we only
want fair shares
So cut down all the stages, and stick up
all the fares!
If tickets cost ten pounds a piece why
should you make a fuss?
It’s worth it just to ride inside
The 30 foot long by 10 foot wide
Inside that monarch of the road
Observer of the highway code
That big 6 wheeler, Scarlet painted
London Transport Diesel Engine
97 Horse Power, 97 Horse Power Omnibus
Hold very tight please! Ting ting!
Clang clang clang! Went the trolley
Ding ding ding went the bell
Zing zing zing went my heart strings
From the moment I saw him I fell
Chug chug chug went the motor
Bump bump bump went the brake
Thump thump thump went my heart strings
When he smiled I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn’t stepped
upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I couldn’t speak because he scared my
half to death.
Buzz buzz buzz went the buzzer
Plop plop plop went the wheels
Stop stop stop! Went my heart strings
As he started to go then I started to know
how it feels when the universe reels.
Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga
Choochoo?
Track 29 boy you can give me a shine
I can afford to board the Chattanooga
Choochoo
I’ve got my fare and just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania Station
‘bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you’re in
Baltimore
Dinner in the Diner
Nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing 8 to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in Got to keep it rolling
Whoo whoo Chattanooga there you are!
There’s going to be a certain party at the
station
Satin and Lace I used to call funny face
She’s gonna cry until I tell her that I’ll never
roam
So Chatanooga Choochoo won’t you choo
choo me home!
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying
Machines
They go up diddly up up
They go down diddly own down
They enchant all the ladies and steal all the
scenes
With their up diddly up up
And their down diddly own down.
Up. Down. Flying around
Looping the loop and defying the ground
They’re all frightfully keen
Those Magnficent Men in Their Flying
Machines
They can fly upside down with their feet in
the air
They don’t think of danger they don’t really
care
Newton would think he had made a
mistake
To see those young men and the chances
they take!
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying
Machines
They go up diddly up up
They go down diddly own down
They enchant all the ladies and steal all
the scenes
With their up diddly up up
And their down diddly own down.
Would you like to ride in my beautiful
balloon?
Would you like to ride in my beautiful
balloon?
We could float among the stars together
you and I
Or we can fly!
Up up and away in my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful
balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful
balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the
silver sky
Or we can fly
Up up and away in my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
Balloon, Balloon, Balloon, Balloon!

VERSE 1
Life is a mystery
Full of uncertainty

Doesn’t anybody care when you’re crying,
You’re crying

The world is going mad

The Lightning Tree
VERSE 1
Down in the meadow where the wind
blows free
In the middle of a field stands a Lightning
Tree
Its limbs all torn from the day it was born
For the tree was born in a thunderstorm
CHORUS
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
It’s never too late for you and me
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
Never give in too easily
VERSE 2
Down in the meadow where the wind
blows right
The lightning struck in the middle of the
night
Its limbs stripped bare by the lightning
flare
The lightning flare was a wild affair
CHORUS
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
It’s never too late for you and me
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
Never give in too easily
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
VERSE 3
Down in the meadow here the wind
blows cold
The Lightning Tree stands stiff and old
Branches bent by the lightning rent
The lightning rent from the firmament
CHORUS
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
It’s never too late for you and me
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
Never give in too easily
VERSE 4
Down in the meadow with the wind in
the West
The Lightning Tree faced up to the test
Its heart went snap when it took the rap
The terrible rap of the thunder clap!
CHORUS
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
It’s never too late for you and me
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
Never give in too easily
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
VERSE 5
Down in the meadow where the wind
blows free
A whisper of green in the Lightning Tree
Dreams come true when you want them
to
If you want them to it’s up to you
CHORUS
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
It’s never too late for you and me
Grow, grow the Lightning Tree
Never give in too easily
Double repeat (na na na...)
Lightning Tree!
Lightning Tree!
Utter Madness
I’ve been driving in my car
It’s not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill
From a bloke from Brazil
It was made in ‘59
In a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door
The GPO owned it before
I drive in it for my job
The governor calls me a slob
But I don’t really care
Give me some gas and the open air
Father wears his Sunday Best
Mother’s tired she need a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep (ahh)
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang around
Our house in the middle of our street
Our house in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There’s always something happening
And it’s usually quite loud
Our mum she’s so house proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
Our house in the middle of our street
Our house in the middle of our
Our house in the middle of our street
Our house in the middle of our
Our house was our castle and our keep
Our house in the middle of our...
I tell you I didn’t do it
‘cause I wasn’t there
Don’t blame me, it just isn’t fair
You listened to their side
Now listen to mine
Can’t think of a story
Sure you’ll find me sometime
Now pass the blame and don’t blame
me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One, two three)
Then I’ll be gone and you’ll forget
The broken window TV set
I never thought I’d miss you
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I’d feel this way,
The way I feel about you
Soon as I wake up every night every day
I know that it’s you I need to take the
blues away
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more, nothing less, love is the
best
One step beyond!
My girl’s mad at me
I didn’t want to see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I’d had enough of her
Why can’t she see
She’s lovely to me
But I like to stay in and watch TV on my
own every now and then
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Playing football in the park
Kicking pushbikes after dark
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Teacher comes to break it up
Back of the ‘ead with a plastic cup
Oh what fun we had
But did it really turn out bad?
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways to make a
difference to the days
Baggy Trousers X 13
Invincible
Hear those drums
Feel our heats grow stronger,
See the crowds draw near
Fears dissolve our heads held high,
To dream the dream
To feel the fight Ah!
United strong, forever faithful Ah!
To dream the dream
To feel the fight Ah!
United strong, forever faithful Ah!
To dream the dream of victory,
We feel the fight that drives us on to
victory!

Pop Medley 2016
Standing in a crowded room
and I can’t see your face
Ooh
Put your arms around me, tell
me everything’s OK
Ooh
In my mind, I’m running round a
cold and empty space
Ooh
Just put your arms around me,
tell me everything’s OK
Ooh
Break my bones but you won’t see me
fall, oh
The rising tide will rise against them all, oh
Darling hold my hand
Oh, won’t you hold my hand?
Cause I don’t wanna walk on my own
any more won’t you understand?
Cause I don’t wanna walk alone
I’m ready for this, there’s no denying
I’m ready for this, you stop me falling
I’m ready for this, I need you all in
I’m ready for this, so darling, hold my
hand
The garden was blessed by the Gods of
me and you
We headed West for to find ourselves
some truth, oh
What you waiting for? No
What are you waiting for?
We counted all the reasons, excuses that
we made
We found ourselves some treasure and
threw it all away, oh
What are you waiting for? No
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for? No
What are you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun’s
beating down, blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil’s
overused, blame it on me
When I dance alone, I’ll know I’ll go
Blame it on me oh
What are you waiting for? No
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for? No
What are you waiting for?
When my hair’s all but gone and my
memory fades
And the crowds don’t remember my
name
When my hands don’t play the strings the
same way (mmm...)
I know you will still love me the same
‘Cause honey your soul could never
grow old, it’s evergreen
And baby your smile’s forever in my mind
and memory
I’m thinking ‘bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
May be it’s all part of a plan
Well, I’ll just keep on making the same
mistakes
Hoping that you’ll understand
That baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
May be we found love right where we are
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Crying with the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in years I’ve wasted
Being around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hard and
colder
No one ever know the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the battles we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope
For the best don’t want you rest on my
bones
And you’re calling me now
I will see you all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching oh
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the light is gone
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before the day goes off
Tonight gonna live for
Gone live for these days
Tonight we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
