A Shropshire Lad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Second greatest time I had
Was when they asked me and my dad
To organize a festival
Along the lines of Donington
We picked Chirk airfield as our site
Booked the bands we thought were right
Received the long-range from the Met
They said it could be very wet
With this in mind, we thought it wise
To call the whole kaboodle off
The greatest time I ever had
Was when we didn't tell the bands!
BOOM BOOM BOOM
LEMME HEAR YOU SAY
HOSEPIPE BAN
My childhood, my family
My screwed up relationships
My girlfriend, my boyfriend
My suicide to come
The drugs hell, the drinks bill
Colombia, hotel rooms
I do believe I'm going to pln
What say we go the Isle of Man
Welsh rockers
Welsh rockers
Rockers
Rockers
The charlie in Bali
The Drake and the superglue
The oneness in Stromness
The hit and the miss
These hand towels belong to my Islamic landlord
Achtung, Edwardian lampoon
Oh no, my head feels like sponge
