Here is a 'pretty ditty' from an up and coming (hopefully) songstress that Wayne adores at the moment...

Hello......

I'm Curtis Bollokov and I am the bearer of good news and bad news. Firstly the bad news...it is with regret that I have to announce the sad parting of Edna Grimethorpe, taken from us tragically by a runaway milk float as she was on her way back from the corner shop on an emergency errand to find lard for her yorkshire puddings....but the good news is that she bequeathed this blog to me in her will and I am happy to continue channelling Mr Austen from the life beyond for you.
I hope you will visit with me regularly.
Salutations.
Curtis.

'Greatest Day' - Take That.

Today this could be, the greatest day of our lives
Before it all ends, before we run out of time
Stay close to me,
Stay close to me
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me.

Tonight this could be the greatest night of our lives
Let’s make a new start,
The future is ours to find
Can you see it, can you see it in my eyes
Can you feel it now, can you hold it in your arms tonight
Hold on
Hold on,
Hold on
Hold on (Tonight)
Hold on
Hold on

Oh stay close to me (Hold On)
Stay close to me
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay closes me

Ooooooh
Hold your head high, (Hold On)
Arms open wide
Yea the world starts to come alive when you stay close it me

Today this could be the greatest day of our lives
Today this could be the greatest day of our lives

Oooooh
And the world comes alive
And the world comes alive
And the world comes alive
Oh oh oooooh
Stay close to me (and the world comes alive) hold on
Stay close to me (and the world comes alive)
Watch the world come alive tonight
Stay close to me (Hold on)
Oh stay close to me and the world comes alive
Stay close to me and the world comes alive

Watch the world come alive tonight
(stay close to me) oh oh ohoooo

'Bell, Book and Candle'

Hello Loves,
Long time no see. I've been unwell after a trip to Whitby where I had some dodgy mussels. I'm back on my feet now and feeling chipper. So here's a little ditty at Wayne's behest. He says the Eddi Reader version is good too if you can find it but this chap, Boo....(by heck! I ask you, will they ever learn?) wrote the song with Eddi. I quite like it and it mentions ghosts...spooky! Enjoy!






'Bell, Book and Candle' - Boo Hewerdine

The blue around the morning moon
The colour of your eyes
I remember holding you
Fall through summer skies
You're everything that I've become, every word I say
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
White horses on a troubled sea
Your smile will flash through time
Up ahead a blackbird's wing
Your hair will come to mind
Every night I see your face when I have to pray
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Keep your ghost away, keep your ghost away
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Just before the thunder roars
I sense you next to me
And as I move through nature
I know where you will be
So I must keep myself apart,here is where I'll stay
With a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away

'The Only Living Boy in New York' - Everything But The Girl

Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know here.
Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York,
The only living boy in New York.
