Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 103


Today is Friday, the 10th of April 2020.

The Beatles are history since 1970 today.

I always feel a need to explain things…

… a) so that no-one misunderstands anything.

… b) to explain things that may not have any explaination at all.

Today I do not respect the order because I have discovered this one song that kind of fits today's circumstances - whatever that means. Today is Good Friday- whatever can be good on a Friday that marks the climax of the passion of this guy called Jesus of Nazareth - better known as Jesus Christ. My condolences, Jesus.

So I try to explain an order that is and has no order at all. Well done, Bromford. Well done.


"Simon Zealotes - Poor Bromford"

Christ you know I love you did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Christ you know I love you did you see I waved
I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Jesus I am with you touch me touch me Jesus
Jesus I am on your side kiss me kiss me Jesus

Christ, what more do you need to convince you
That you've made it and you're easily as strong
As the fifth from Rome who rape our country
And who've terrorized our people for so long?

Christ you know I love you did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Christ you know I love you did you see I waved
I believe in you and God so tell me that I'm saved
Jesus I am with you touch me touch me Jesus
Jesus I am on your side kiss me kiss me Jesus

There must be over fifty thousand
Screaming love and more for you
And everyone of fifty thousand
Would do whatever you ask him to
Keep them yelling their devotion
But add a touch of hate at Rome
You will rise to a greater power
We will win ourselves a home
You'll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
You'll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
You'll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
For ever and ever and ever
For ever and ever and ever
Amen! Amen!

Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
Nor Judas nor the Twelve
Nor the priests, nor the scribes
Nor doomed Bromford itself
Understand what power is
Understand what glory is
Understand at all… Understand at all

If you knew all that I knew, my poor Bromford
You'd see the truth, but you'd close your eyes
But you'd close your eyes
While you live your troubles are many, poor Bromford
To conquer death you only have to die
You only have to die.
