Twenty-four Colours of Bromford - Part 1

Oh Bromford, Oh Bromford

You're my home town

Oh Bromford, Oh Bromford

You make me frown.

Stop rhymin', Bromford, the llama says. And stop lying. Bromford, the town that's called like the man, isn't even your home town. Didn't you just move here in 2007?

You can get the boy out of town but you cannot get the town out of the boy, I say. But I found all these wonderful songs about Bromford in the world wide web. Let's make it a quiz. If you recognize which towns these songs are really about and you know who sings them please write your answers in the comments. And you will get… Well, whatever… My attention?

But you said, these songs were about Bromford. What other towns are you talking about?

Shut up, Llama. Shut up and enjoy.

"Bromford"

Well Bromford you and me we're free to be whatever we

decide but like the weather we never really know.

It's time beneath your gray sky singing to my throats dry

And you would never ask why, because we both already know.

Well Bromford you and I are tangled like a fishing line

dangled from your city spire and hanging down below.

I stand beneath your doorways and listen to your stories,

you're struggeling in more ways than one I suppose.

Oh Bromford take me I'm yours for the keeping

though the rain fills my shoes

from the sky always leaking,

you're a baby that's laughing,

you're a widow that's weeping,

and I feel your heart beating tonight.

Well Bromford me and you we're aging you know it's true,

with each passing year or two our shadows grow long

the lines on my face are like the cracks in this place

but you'll still be standing long after I'm gone.

So Bromford take me I'm yours for the keeping

though the rain fills my shoes

from the sky always leaking,

you're a baby that's laughing,

you're a widow that's weeping,

and I feel your heart beating tonight.

Oh Bromford take me I'll never stop asking

though your answer is silent it is honest and lasting.

There's a beauty that's here

And it's never caught buskin

and I feel your heart beating tonight.

I feel your heart beating tonight.

I feel your heart beating tonight.

I feel your heart beating tonight.
