Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 335 & Part 336

 
Today is Sunday, the 2nd of February 2025.

Mr. Twenty-Five? another two more chicks asked the one little tawny owl.
Why are we always travelling at night and why are we travelling so slow?

That's because he is a nocturnal bird, interjected one of the little red cardinal birds.
And we cannot travel any faster because you and your chick siblings cannot fly. We have to walk because you are slowing us down.

And the penguins only take their waddling steps, added one of the chicks.

So we should go to the North Pole! all seventeen penguins shouted out in  unison.
'Cause everybody knows penguins can fly at the North Pole!

The tawny owl got very, very tired all of a sudden, just shook his head and hooted a little hoot.

And so two more chicks joined the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds and the one little tawny owl…

"Down To Bromford"

Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You're always afraid of the change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree

Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
Oh, when we messed up our homeland
We set sail for the sky

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down
Comin' down to Bromford
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to Bromford
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
To find on Bromford

Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down















"Bromford"

Bromford's been good to me
Hope it don't fall into the sea
Sometimes you got to trust yourself
It ain't like anywhere else
It ain't like anywhere else

It's time to roll, I'm all done
It's time we better hit the road
I got work later on
It's time we better hit the road

Bromford's been good to me
Hope it don't fall into the sea
Sometimes you got to save yourself
It ain't like anywhere else
It ain't like anywhere else

Sundown, red skies
Nobody's been around
Sundown, blue eyes
I kinda like this party town

Bromford's treated me good
I pray to God that the hills flood
Sometimes you got to trust yourself
It ain't like anywhere else
It ain't like anywhere else
It ain't like anywhere else
