Sun Records

I couldn’t believe I was standing

In the spot were you once stood

I couldn’t believe I sat at the piano

My god it felt so good

 

The décor reeked of success

From the stars that continue to pass through

Legends of the music world

Some old and some very new

 

I can’t begin to imagine

The fun you all must have had

So much talent in one small room

And ‘The Million Dollar Quartet’ wasn’t bad

 

Chills sent down my spine

As I grabbed the microphone

I felt I was living the impossible dream

In some previous twilight zone

 

I thanked my lucky stars

As I left that special place

Visiting a piece of music history

And a smile across my face

Thinking of Others

As winter approaches and Christmas draws near

Some people have no-one they have lost their cheer

A helping hand can be all that they need

Make someone happy and do that good deed

 

(Chorus)

Thinking of others at this Christmas time

Playing games with strangers, singing festival Rhymes

The community working giving all that they can

Bringing together every woman and man

Thinking of others this wonderful Christmas time

 

A little boy at school who doesn’t believe in Santa Clause

Never given a present, there’s been a greater cause

Like having hot water, and food on the table

Doesn’t know the story about the baby and the stable

 

Everyone let’s celebrate and show people that we care

Make sure everyone’s involved let’s have no-one spare

Take someone’s hand and show they’re not all alone

Make someone’s day and call them on the phone

 

It’s not what you buy or it’s not what you receive

It’s about helping others, those that are in need

Trying to survive day after day

Hoping to provide this Christmas Day

 

Chorus

(Repeat with Children’s Choir?)

Mr Gascoigne

Growing up watching football

You played the game with style

Laughing and joking on the field

Beating opponents with your guile

 

You were England’s greatest hope

Famously crying during the world cup

Lineker saying ‘Have a word’

Please Mr Gascoigne don’t give up

 

On more than one occasion

You lit up the football world stage

Dazzling opponents with your skills

Leaving them full of rage

 

And now your biggest challenge

One that you have faced before

But this time will be different

A different game with a different score

 

I don’t know the pain you are in

Or claim to be a friend from the past

You must seek help from somebody

Or this chance could be your last

 

I cried when I saw your face

Headlining the news once more

Your body a sign of your former self

For your riches you looked so poor

 

Please seek help Mr Gascoigne

And pass this challenging test

To me you will always be a hero

Like the late great Georgie Best

Depression

The public face we want the world to see
Making us laugh for no extra fee
Tears of joy when we see your face
A hole in our lives that no one can replace

 

Why is this illness such a taboo?
It could happen to anyone, including me and you
Starting off as a low point, getting worse by the day

For all of our highs is this the price we pay?

 

A situation we can’t escape, there is no end
Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend
An olive branch to offer or a helping hand
A short step away from more sinking sand
A situation we can’t escape, there is no end

Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend

An olive branch to offer or a helping hand

A short step away from more sinking sand

 

Depression can happen to people who are quiet or loud

Someone in the shadows or standing out in the crowd

Be aware of this illness and don’t judge too soon

Goodbye Mork, enjoy your trip past the moon
