Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 357 & Part 358

 
Today is Thursday, the 15th of May 2025.

I think, therefore I am.

Said Twenty-Five our tawny owl guru? asked one of the little red birds.

Said René Descartes, said the little tawny owl.

Are you planning to go down that channel? asked one of a group of fifteen scorpions. And may we ask you to carry us on your backs to the other side?

You mean like piggy-back? asked one of the penguins.

Sounds kind of familiar and also dangerous, said one of the chicks. Scorpions are not to be trusted.

It's in our nature, whispered the scorpions.

It's a bug's life, summoned the butterflies.

And so fifteen scorpions joined the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitos, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds and the one little tawny owl…

"Overland, West of Bromford"

Overland the desert sands are born
An all too brief exchange
The details somehow got waylaid

Neither of us were born to be leaders
But you made the first move to escape
Closer than me to the equator
I looked you up on graph paper
Not as close as we once were, oh no

Undeterred, a man of words was born
Your vocation came
You found your target and took aim

Take me to where bodies glide
Graceful underneath the waves
Closer than me to the equator
I looked you up on graph paper
Not as close as we once were, no
Not as close as we once were, no

I thought I saw your older sister
I was gonna ask after you
West of Bromford, East of Britain
I was gonna ask after you
'Cause she looked so much like you
I meant to ask after you


























"Bromford Rodgers"

A model, used to be a role model

I dunno, come on, Bromford, I dunno, come on

Go ahead now, Bromford, go ahead now
This for Jersey right here, go ahead now

Bromford Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled (yeah she did)
Kept her tears up in a bottle
She poured them out to save her soul

Ask her what she liked the most
She said she liked to talk to Jimi′s ghost
Fantasy, a bragger's boast
Bromford′s fly like coast to coast

Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (yeah she is)
Earth boots on and flowers in her hair
21st Century hippie, Bromford don't care


Bromford Rodgers was a model (well)
But she really rocked and rolled (yeah ahe did)
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

Try to catch her if you can (c′mon now, baby)
But you never see her with one man
′Cause they must be baptized according to the master plan
Before she give up the good thang, go 'head Bromford (go ′head Bromford)

No blood diamonds or designer chic (no no)
'Cause she′s too original from her head down to her feet
You can hate if you want to, Bromford don't eat no meat
Still got butt like a letter C, go ′head Bromford (go 'head Bromford)

Bromford Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

Come on, Bromford

Ah come on

Next to her, they just a fool
Bromford read more books than a few (oh Bromford)
Like Moses was a Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty
And Rome was chilling in Carthage in 33 BCE


And the day that we stop counting
We live as long as a tree
Go ahead Bromford, teach me
Go ahead Bromford

Make a promise to your higher self
Get true knowledge then fame and wealth
You don't be chasing nobody′s ghost
Of everything make the most (come on)

Bromford Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
She kept her tears up in a bottle (yeah ahe did)
Poured them out to save her soul

Bromford Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

Come on Bromford

Keep that body moving
Come on Bromford
Make that body move
Come on Bromford
Keep that body moving
Come on Bromford
Make that body move

Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice

Ohh ohh ah
Na, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Brom-

Bromford Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

Bromford Rodgers was a model

Poured them out to save her soul
