island of gentle decay time capsule still lost world of its own time the detritus way of life whirlpool tidal races

drink thy wine to a fine dine in the three blackbirds with blueberry pie red rose to a prose to see the mary rose

Remain the old clock of thee old tower with all his might still a old battle site Cromwell still in the fight

for thee fall in the lurking lake move me like morning cakes books and food summer pain knock me down my heart in vain lord take me to thy resting place

Mr plump and mr plimp to meet and have tea by the sea they both stink not had a wash

Whence we go as far to thy door to shop on the floor have a drink at the bar And find a movie star

deep heart tears i miss thee groans of pains not to see thee dark despair

to a bairns cuddle doon to a misty moon tis a home poet from the toon remember the miners

There are bridges. to cross and the way is long but a purpose in life will make you strong

Bless thy thee shine may you always dine down the railway line sing a song for all time the room was so bare

past the time cilla was so fine sing a song to shine she was all mine in our world

In spite of fathers sternest strictures sue spent each evening at the pictures you see a lot of reels he said

Nothing but tit for tat scratch my back jack and i will scratch yours pitifully world we live desperate pain to gain
