Southampton, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Hull
Places in England that give you the pull
going by ****** or National Express
Wherever you want it can cost you less
booking in 3 or more months in advance
lets you see scenery takes only a glance
from down south and London and places above
get into Scotland you'll need to wear glove
Cross the border and hear the sound of the pipes
or get into wales - a choir - ooh cripes
a sound that gives you goosebumps
a sound that makes you cringe
keep going north my friend
and watch the Edinburgh Fringe

we are in the essence of time
a time that ne'er stands still
a time that stands for no one
the plants on the window sill
time is such like music
that moves to the weary beat
our hearts are marching onward
time will give us that treat
We'll move on forward together
right to the end of the age
and peace and harmony reward us
our lifetime time shall gauge

Patricia Ellis known affectionately as Mum
bought me up and named me Son
from England to New Zealand
and other locations abroad
opened my eyes to the blessings that were poured
now she has claimed eternal rest
Thank you Mum you were the best

Christmas is over and families have gone home
The dinner has affected me lying here like a garden gnome
The snow is falling round about and lights are on my tree.
My band is quiet now and enjoys a break like me
There's only all the leftovers that we have to polish off
And then the bugs our families left its given me a cough
We only have to wait for the brand new year to come
That was Christmas 2014 another year is done

I met Rowen 20 years ago didn’t really
know him at that time. 2 years ago I was visiting my mum in nz
and was staying with Dee and shells friends of mine for the full
7 weeks and Dee said I could go and meet someone for a coffee
which is still going on today don’t know what was in the coffee but has bought some big stories .I went on a site in New Zealand called NZ dating and this someone  started talking to me for a lengthy amount of time saying he was from the uk and talking about how I was on holiday 1 night before I was due to fly home and by this time staying with him at his house in mount maunganui he said I should go and pack my suitcase for going home I just went and stared at my case and did nothing he came in 10 minutes later and said why haven’t you done any packing yet I just broke down which got him going so we went for walk on the beach and as the full moon shone down I got down on 1 knee and proposed . 2 years on has bought 2 awesome families together

I am a sheet of music
I start quietly building on the quartet of Strings
the Violin starts a shimmering sound
backed up with the viola
the solemn sound of the cello
and the ground breaking bass
united in harmony

There is a rest a break in note
I am part of a Symphony an overture
out of the heart of the music
a quiet roll
the timpani building in sound
full orchestra building in amazing ******


Fireworks, Percussion, Brass, Woodwind, Strings
Combined together in unity
performing to the quality levels of sound
the amazing Tchaikovsky in 1812

Creativity and Imagination
shaking the core of the earth

One fine day on a sandy beach
I saw something in the clouds
slightly out of reach
It was my dreams inside my mind
my life in full and intertwined
I've traveled near and far away
from Liverpool to Cayton Bay
I love to see the various sights
and when with friends we put the world to rights
through rain and hail and sun and snow
I can show you where to go
now I'm married and acheiving my dream
Me and hubby are an expert team
He helps me and I Help him
when put together we're proper and prim
our dream keeps going round and round
but at the moment is sound on sound

What's today I hear you say
hmm another birthday
39 coming up am i young am i old
I am young or so I'm told
a cake, a party, music and food
what i did that last year dude
do I have to go through this again
come see me in another ten

End of November and Christmas is nearly here
It's time for families far and near
presents at the base of the tree
and children shouting what's for me
Brass bands playing round the street
gives me goosebumps tapping to the beat
Snow is falling all around and the fire is burning bright
and lights shine down on my inner soul it just feels really right
What could be better than what I have got
I've had a crap year but it's Christmas so what!
Everything is going really well
and I'm going to ring the Christmas Bell

The beach lies under the golden sun
surf and sand and food and fun
getting burnt and feeling fine
why not share some sparkling wine
a picnic prepared the night before
and missing the glass as you pour
the day has past its time to go
but we do it again if the wind don't blow

Born in Beverley, to Holme on spalding Moor
Leven and Knaresborough opened up the door
Ripon was the first time to leave my home so true
Parents to New Zealand Boo hoo Boo hoo Boo hoo
Auckland to Tauranga and finally home to stay
Southport and York not quite montego bay
on to the edge of the world at kingston upon Hull
before the move to Bridlington to live a life so full
and then the move that made all moves Liverpool it was
I love the life of the mersey it really is the boss
I'm so made up to feel the love and life of the Mersey beat
Tuebrook Toxteth and wavertree are places I've moved my feet
I am really privilaged to see the windows of the world
from Singapore and Scotland and Australia's fields of gold
I've been to Canada, America and Luxemburg as well
The windows of the world in a small nut shell

While doing Guy Fawkes the night before
I received some surprising news
My Father said some things to me
I nearly blew a fuse
He said to me when tomorrow comes
A sad event will start your day
and i was so upset to wake up
to find my dad was taken away
this happened over 20 years ago
and it's still feeling like new
The anniversary comes but once a year
and Oh! I feel so blue
It was the day that changed my life
but things have improved as such
My awesome husband is in my life
and changed me oh so much
my love of life is music
and it brings me so much cheer
but my husband and my father
I love them both so dear
I really now must finish
before I go on to long
but I want you to remember
Go on! sing a song!

While sitting here one sunny day
my favourite music started to play
It started soft and grew in sound
when the ***** boomed around
Emotions running high and low
while the sound of music ran its show
The sound of brass echoes through
with string quartet making things anew
The concert hall is filled with tone
chilling you right to the bone
the audience goes wild at the end of the show
and maestro conductor takes his bow
for the encore there's the sound of Bach
the audience leaves for now it is dark!

Get me down to the local band stand
traditional and modern grand
Cornets, Euphoniums and tuba's in tune
I love the sight I'm so immune
from the pits of Yorkshire and round the globe
Scores resounding from Adobe
The Conductor's baton keeps the beat
and if its wrong they stamp there feet
from amateur to championship
all you have is brass to lip
contests regional every year
and music reading not play by ear!

Liverpool on the Irish sea
Tuebrook, Toxteth and Wavertree
Home of the beatles and full Mersey beats
and yummy scouse is no mean feats
Baby beetroot served on top
and when it rains its no mean flop
you can visit museums or travel abroad
from railway or airport to the norwegian fjord
City of culture for two thousand and eight
why not have the day here or more with your mate
book on national express or take a fast train
and sing sounds of liverpool with a merry refrain
it's the home of 3 graces who welcome you home
and all will be proved with google chrome
