Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 5


Today is Thursday, the 19th of April 2018

Dear folks and friends and readers, animals and llamas...

Are you ready for the song quiz in a weekly basis?

I know, you are probably only one reader and only one llama.

And you do not have sleepless nights waiting for my next post.

You are not sitting at the edge of your chair biting your nails

with excitement...

But come on, Bert! It's fun. It makes the worse worth while.

At least I hope... At least I dream... My life is a stream...

It's all one song, dudes!


"Bromford"

Down in Bromford
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that

Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout


If you're looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I'll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station

So come away, won't you come away
We could go to...
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Ahh anywhere in Bromford

Anywhere in Bromford
Anywhere in Bromford

Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song

Mmm... Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords, good Warlords
And an English song

Oo if you're looking for a cheap sort
All glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station

Now come away, oh say you'll come away
We'll go to...
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, NEW-CAST-LE

If you are looking for a cheap tart
Don't glint with perspiration
There's a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won't you come away

We'll go to...
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Bromford

Anywhere in Bromford
Anywhere in Bromford
Anywhere in Bromford
Anywhere in Bromford...
