Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 3


Today is Thursday, the 15th of March 2018. Did I mention the world will end on a Thursday? Did I mention you shouldn't stop dancing? Are you tuning in?

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk... It doesn't have to be like this. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking...

Did Stephen Hawking know Pink Floyd and David Gilmour were using samples of his electronic voice for some of their songs?

Farewell, Professor Hawking. Farewell in time and space... Keep on playing poker with Albert Einstein...

And now... guess which town this song is about...

"Bromford"

Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?

And I wanted to go
Half my life
And I feel kind of strange
Like I never lived that life

And I'm trying hard
To control my heart
And I always want to know
And I always want to go

Bromford are you tuning in
Bromford big city of dreams
Bromford oh what a city
Bromford

Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?
Are you tuning in?

There's now time to unpack, yeah
Let's get straight out on the street
And feel no inhibitions
This city was built for me

And my head is full of questions
When did I feel this good
In the arms of my lover
Burning through the night of Bromford

And it's funny how time flies
In the city that never sleeps
It's getting after hours
And I'm feeling the heat

I'm almost dead and buried
The day nearly done
But I want to keep on going
I'm going to kiss the sun in Bromford

And I'm feeling kind of selfish
Cause I'm just flying home
I've been busy on your island
Just having my own fun
It's an English tradition

Find some money make some time
Get busy on your island
And slowly lose our minds in Bromford

Read you again on next Quiz Thursday...
