TRANSPORT OF DELIGHTS
Some talk of a Lagon--da
Some like a smart MG,
Or ..for bonny army lo--rry
They’d lay them down and ‘dee’.
Such means of locomotion
Seem rather dull to us
The driver and conductor of……….
A London Omnibus.
Home Page
Hold very tight please, ting, ting!
Hold very tight please, ting, ting!
When 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
Of a London Transport Diesel Engine
Ninety Seven Horse Pow’r 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
That thirty foot long by ten foot wide,
Inside that monarch of the road
Observer of the Highway Code
That big six wheeler, scarlet painted
London Transport Diesel Engine
Ninety Seven Horse Power ……..
Ninety Seven 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 me 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 Choo-choo?
Track Twenty Nine--- boy you can give me a shine.
I can afford to board the Chattanooga Choo-choo
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 Chattanooga Choo-choo
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 magnificent 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!

GET LOUD
1. Life is a mystery
Full of uncertainty,
Makes little sense to me but I’m trying, I’m trying
Why is it so unfair,
The rich are slow to share,
Doesn’t anybody care when you’re crying, you’re
crying?

We’ve got to take our chance now…..
Chorus
Time to get loud! Find your voice in the crowd,
It really matters what you say ‘cos this is your day
Time to feel strong, Find out where you belong,
You want to make us proud?
So get loud!
Woh!

2. The world is going mad,
I think that it’s so sad
We can’t tell good from bad but I’m learning, I’m
learning,
We waste so much each day,
So much is thrown away,
Is there a better way well I’m yearning, I’m
yearning
We’ve got to take our chance now;
Chorus
Time to get loud! Find your voice in the crowd

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 Lighting Tree
Never give in too easily!
Home Page
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 Lighting Tree
Never give in too easily!
Na na na na na na na na na na …
Verse 3
Down in the meadow where 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 Lighting Tree
Never give in too easily!
Verse 4
Down in the meadow where 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 Lighting Tree
Never give in too easily!
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 then 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!

Lightning Tree! Lightning Tree!
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!

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 G.P.O. owned it before,
I drive in it for my job
The gov-er-nor calls me a slob,
But I don’t really care
Give me some gas and the open air.

OUR HOUSE
1. Father wears his Sunday best,
Mother’s tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs.
Sister’s sighing in her sleep,
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………
2. 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…..

SHUT UP
I tell you I didn’t do it ‘cos I wasn’t there,
/ Don’t blame me it just isn’t fair.
/ You listen 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 1..2..3!
Then I’ll be gone and you’ll forget
The broken window, TV set.
IT MUST BE LOVE
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!(spoken – One step beyond!!!)
MY GIRL
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.
BAGGY TROUSERS
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 head 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, baggy trousers, baggy trousers, x3
Baggy Trousers!

INVINCIBLE
Home Page
When all is lost, and hope is gone,
When life is frail, and hearts are weary,
The echoed words unbeaten still,
Will show our strength and dignity.
To dream the dream of victory,
To feel the fight that drives us all,
To take a place in history.
And bring home our hearts for thee.
Home Page
Hear--- those drums
Fee---l our hearts 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!
Home Page
Unconquered still we stand as one.
To dream the dream
To dream the drea-------m
To feel the fight
Ah! ------ United strong,
forever faithful – Ah!
When we look back from where we came
We find our place and rise again,
To dream the dream of victory
We feel the fight that drives us on--- to vic-tor-y!
VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR
I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two,
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
Oh a-oh!
They took the credit for your second symphony
Re-written by machine on new technology,
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh a-oh!
I met your children
Oh a-oh!
What did you tell them?

POP MEDLEY 2016
Hold My Hand
Standing in a crowded room and I can’t see your face
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Put your arms around me, tell me everything’s ok
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
In my mind I’m running round a cold and empty space
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, just
put your arms around me, tell me everything’s ok
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Home Page
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
‘Cos I don’t want to walk on my own anymore
Won’t you understand?
‘Cos I don’t want to walk alone.
I’m ready for this, there’s no denying,
I’m ready for this, you’ll stop me falling,
I’m ready for this, I need you all in,
I’m ready for this, so darling, hold my hand.
Blame It On Me
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 you waiting for?
We counted all our reasons, excuses that we made
We found ourselves some treasure and threw it all
away, oh
What you waiting for, no what you waiting for?
What you waiting for, no what 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 over used
Blame it on me.
When I dance alone I know I’ll go blame it on me,
oh---What you waiting for, no what you waiting for?
What you waiting for, no what you waiting for?
Thinking Out Loud
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.
‘Cos 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.
Maybe it’s all part of a plan------I 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, and maybe
We - found - love - right - where we are.
These Days
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 was-ted
Being around enough to feel alive,
And when the world is broken, hard and colder
No one ever knows 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 resting 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 . .
Gonna live for these days,
Tonight . . we’ll remember . .
We’ll remember these days,
