The Mersey City

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

Up to the North Down to the South Keep the ships feeding The big Mersey's mouth 14 big docks And 19 big stops Dad's got big hands He works at the 'Brock' He's seen Alexandra And Nelson too He passes the Princes On the way to the 'Loo Jump off at the Sandon For a bevvy with Joe Saturday's half day To the match he will go The merchants at Toxteth Are rubbing their hands There's money in shipping And at Seaforth Sands Jump off at Pier Head If yer wearing a shirt Stay on till Herculaneum To get covered in dirt The EMUs keeping rolling From morning til night Our dockers umbrella What a beautiful sight copyright/all rights reserved Joe Fogg 2011

. I survived Cameron and his band of hatchet men remember when Thatcher took the axe to school milk? but you ******* voted her in as smooth as silk but we see her now as the sows ear she was. I won't vote for Corbyn he never went and yet he's already a has been, never seen that before excepting Jeremy and they named a park after him. Thorpe. Once when I drew a breath in Toxteth and the carnival was the riot I got a bit but that's censored. Anyway in Lancaster it's raining although it was cool down in Blackpool with the Duchess and only a slight breeze and a sneeze or two passing by Blackpool zoo. Goodnight y'all don't fall asleep before you've said your prayers.

Windows of the world

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

The public debate a political ********** reminds me why I hate. But that's Eton and Harrow not Toxteth or Jarrow. I leave the politics to them, the Southern gentlemen Up in the shires where men walk on tight wires and dance to a different song is where I belong, from the Midlands to the Tyne where they drink beer and leave the wine is another place in time a place for me. And while Atlanta burns the gentlemen shall all take turns to **** upon the fire. but when the hands of 'Ben' unlock and count the votes there'll be a shock when some old lady gets the keys to number ten, we all remember them old days, the three day week, the hide and seek, the suss', the stop and search, the powers that interrupt, corrupt and end in a debate, a state of the nation more infiltration, less liberation, more ************ the public schools have fooled us all, we're ******* but we don't know it yet we'll get the letter in the post, the most that we can hope for.

Plug me in and light me stay for the night It might be fun. Falling at Mach 5 you're dying but more alive than you've ever been. Have you ever seen the Sunrise over Alaska? 'Only the young die young' words from a song that has never been sung. It worked, clicked copped off with a chic, seeing her again on Saturday. I practice this look it's one I read of in a book by Blyton, she was right on the money by all accounts, I count the hours until Saturday a hundred and twenty two plus some minutes away, time goes so slow when you just want to know what it's all about.
