Chance After Chance

It’s quarter to four in the morning

And I receive a call from you

You simple start by saying

It’s me, How are you?

I get a rush inside me

And my feelings start again

You say you need to see me

I simply ask when

Some how it’s happening again

You’ve pulled me right back in

It’s just a another game to you

A game I can not win

If life was just a waltz

Then I need a different dance

Things need to change

I can’t keep giving you a chance

I try and ignore your messages

I don’t really want to talk

You shouted me in the street

But I just continued to walk

You ruined what we could have had

You had your chance with me

It has taken longer that I thought

But finally my head and heart agree

Times Change

We can’t stand still

Got to keep moving on

But I can’t because I think you’re the one

I’m still tied to the present

The future I can’t see

I’ve played my cards now we are no longer we

Chorus

Times change

The clock has made its final chime

People change

You’re not even worth a dime

Feelings change

Your love for me was a crime

I’ve tried to move on

You keep dragging me back in

A simple text asking, ‘how have you been?’

When you have no one else

I’m just our substitute guy

I’m hoping that this just isn’t another lie

Chorus

Times change

The clock has made its final chime

People change

You’re not even worth a dime

Feelings change

Your love for me was a crime

I’m tied of being a puppet

Always at your beck and call

I have to be stronger build an emotional wall

Your time has ran out

Don’t even ask me why

Finally, I can the sun shining in the sky

The Royal

The Royal – Royal Court Liverpool

A script is only as good as the cast delivering it to the audience.  This good script is elevated to greatness by the excellent delivery of each line.  If you had to sit down and choose a perfect cast for this show, you wouldn’t get any better than this cast! 

The story takes us on a roller coaster ride of the last few hours of the Liverpool iconic hospital – The Royal.  From the outset Lindzi Germain entertains the audience with a brief and very funny introduction to the play.  This creates a wonderfully warm atmosphere and the audience are now onside to be entertained, and they didn’t disappoint!  What I love about watching Lindzi is the ease she delivers her lines and gets the maximum laughter that is possible.  Lindzi is joined by two gifted actresses, Lynn Francis and Angela Simms.  Lynn plays her part perfectly with a voice that reminds me of a Victoria Wood character.  Angela gives a great performance as a nurse and is fully confident on stage and works beautifully alongside Lindzi.  All three ladies are completely different and their characters all completely different but one thing they all have in common is a warmth the audience can easily relate to as we know each character immediately. 

The supporting cast, made up of a scout master, hunk and old lady, were excellent and provided some very funny physical comedy. 

The set design was brilliant and some great touches with the wrecking ball and helicopter.  The lighting added to the effects, particularly in the second half.

All in all a fantastic play yet again by the Royal Court and if you want to have a great night out, I can’t recommend this play enough.
