Liverpool Town
Life was simple then, back in the old days
Seems like another world, and so long ago
I’d skip down Corinthian Avenue, & then along Doric Road
Past the Gordon Keeble, I made my way from school
To my humble abode
Upwardly mobile
In my ‘hand me downs’
When I was a boy, in Liverpool Town
Then off to High school, in over my head
Though I’d fall in love every day
It was Radio Caroline, I took to bed
The Dansette played ‘Love Me Do’ & ‘The Tears of a Clown’
When I was a boy, in Liverpool Town
Though I’m many miles away
The Mersey still wends it’s way
From Widnes to Wallasey
As I remember me
When I was a boy, in Liverpool Town

Song For Alfie

Here's one for you
My bonny boy
One for you
My bundle of joy
One for you
And it's one to keep
One for you
Now go to sleep

Things Gotta Change
Kids dyin on the TV
Seems like, everybody’s gotta gun
Whatever happened to living and laughing and lovin and having fun
Things gotta change
Things gotta change
They just can’t stay the same
This killin, it’s insane
Things gotta change
Ain’t it strange unemployment is rising
Just when they need more soldiers on the line
Costello told you this years ago,
You boys from the Mersey and the Tyne
Things gotta change
Things gotta change
They just can’t stay the same
Oliver’s army found someone to blame
Things gotta change
Bobby Dylan your country needs you
You said the answer was blowin in the wind
The New York Times they are a changing
This is the cross we bear for our sins
Things gotta change
Things gotta change
They just can’t stay the same
With God on our side, we can’t be to blame
Things gotta change
We got genocide in Zimbabwe
Bob Geldof where are you now
I guess war just doesn’t sell records
But lets phone Harvey Goldsmith anyhow
Things gotta change
Things gotta change
They just can’t stay the same
So lets fill Wembley once again
Things gotta change
So what’s the answer I hear you say
Well I swear I do not know
The Beatles said All You Need Is Love
And that seems like a way to go
Things gotta change
Things gotta change
They just can’t stay the same
Let’s give peace a chance once again
Things gotta change

She thought about it one time
She thought about it twice
But she didn’t have the bottle
To pay the price
HEAVEN CAN WAIT
HEAVEN CAN WAIT
SHE SAID HEAVEN CAN WAIT
HEAVEN CAN WAIT
She said ‘nobody loves me’
Nobody cares
Everybody’s talkin about me
And everybody stares
HEAVEN CAN WAIT
HEAVEN CAN WAIT
SHE SAID HEAVEN CAN WAIT
HEAVEN CAN WAIT

Johnny Boy
Born a cold November morning
Bright red hair, a true Liverpool boy
Under an Orleans Road lamplight
Shone our mothers pride and joy
Now years have gone by and I do my best to try and
Remember how it used to be
Those were the days my friend, I wish they’d never ended
So, come’n have a drink on me,
Here’s to …..
Old Johnny boy, Oh Johnny boy
Raise your glasses high
Raise them to the sky
Oh Johnny boy, Oh Johnny boy
Here’s to my brother, my best friend
I can see you now, rollin a cigarette,
Planning the revolution
‘The Crack’ was the place to be
Among the drunken disillusioned
Taken away, by the angels that day
Proving ‘only the good die young’
Taken away on the eve of your birthday
It’s over the fat lady’s sung
(Come back Johnny, come on, come back Johnny, come on come back Johnny boy)

Experience
So what’s new, everybody makes mistakes
It’s not the end of the world, it’s just another heartbreak
Oh I know it’s an understatement, to call what you’ve got the blues
But take it from me, what’ya got to do is…
Just put it down, to experience
What will be, will be
Just put it down, to experience
Believe in yourself, be free
She’s not the first, she won’t be the last
You’ve got a broken heart, but your learning fast
And the things that you needed to know, they didn’t teach you at school
Like how to get through a sleepless night, when you’ve just been somebody’s fool
Just put it down, to experience
What will be, will be
Just put it down, to experience
Believe in yourself, be free
Solo: Just put it down etc…………………

Forever In Our Hearts
You left this world
Heaven hurled
We never even said goodbye
Never even knowing why
Now there’s an empty space
In an empty place
But (its) full of our love for you
Yes, full of our love for you
Forever in out Hearts
And ever in our minds
You’ll always be there
Till the end of time
Always my love
I’ll always try love
To be true
True to you
One day we’ll be together again
Till then, one day at a time
Till then, I’m doin fine
Forever in out Hearts
And ever in our minds
You’ll always be there
Till the end of time
Always my love
I’ll always try love
To be true
True to you

This mortal coil
Will fade away
