Costa Del Dance

 The Dancers are set and enter the stage

With Song and Dance out to amaze

Us and You they will fill with joy

Filling the hearts of every girl and boy


Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You


The troupe start to dance with partners in tune

They move to the sound of The Moulin Rouge

Followed by Roxanne by the police

Its mesmerizing a grand showpiece


The lighting and mood changes the play

Italian opera a Ballet displayed

Keeping the audience fully engaged

People listen bewitched and amazed


Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You


In costume of white with Sapphire Blue Twist

The last dance of the evening hard to resist

A Disney classic Jasmin and Aladdin

Performed with dance and choreographing


The curtain comes down to pleasant applause

It dies down around the soft sea shore

All you could hear was the sound of the waves

Reminding us of our day at the caves


Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You


We go back to the Room

settle in for the night

Knowing tomorrow will be just as bright

As every day we bathe in sunlight


Planning walks along the Beach

Beautiful palms just out of reach

Back home on Friday as our holiday ends

But the positive is we have the weekend.


Next year we hope to see another show

In our dream hotel on the costa-del-sol


Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You




Ready to rock

Lets take a trip"

Where should we go?

Uptown or to a late picture show?

I'm in a tizzy "Not sure what to do"

But I'm guessing you have some kind of clue? 


Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe


Cant see no point of staying in

Lets roll the dice on where to begin

A quick phone call could be the answer

Are you up for anything " Yes! followed laughter"

I'll start the car "Be at yours in a trice"

We could end up somewhere nice

Wont be long give me a minute

I promise not to break the speed limit


Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe


Enjoying ourselves yeah our own company

Going places just you and me

Dressed up winter coat pashmina and boots

With you looking cool in pin stripe suit

Up and ready for a mystery ride

Life feels so good with nothing to hide


I'm parking outside so put down the phone

Leave a note " You might not get home

Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard


Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe

Dance all the way from here to L.A

Jive all night let the juke box play


Its a fabulous night lets enjoy together

Feeling so good in warm summer weather

Days of old and out come the stories

As we reminisce of days of past glory


Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe


It don't matter where we go 

Come rain or shine or even deep snow

We always will hit those dizzy heights

When we escape for one of those nights


We could pass each other like ships in the night

But still  have passion behind the cars headlights


Will we make it back

You know we just might

Or maybe throw the dice and stay out all night

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah why not

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah what time you got?




Glam Rock King

 You were the Main Man Yes you were Yes you were Yes you were

Your people were fair with sky in their hair

And always content to paint stars on a cheek


Maybe our Prophet seers and sages

sent you to us by angels of ages

Did you ride in upon a Unicorn?

Upon a white swan were you born


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


To Boogie and bop to Cosmic Rock

Your compadre Steve looked a little weird

With mangled hair and stars in his beard

Why did you shorten your band name to a T

Tyrannosaurus suited thee


Maybe you thought that it looked better 

When printed on a Glitter dusted sweater

You pushed the pedal and became the man

The first of many whom were so Glam


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


The blues in you then came into view

Getting it on with Hot love too

My favorite Time and maybe yours

When your lyrics changed to include Cars


The sound of the Sax and Flugel Horn

Flo and Eddie keeping it warm

Tony Visconti Pulling strings and some

Life was a gas under a Mambo Sun


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down


Taking no prisoners Banging Your Gong 

Jeepster Followed Get it on

Telegram Sam turned up the Heat

Metal Guru with blistering Beat


The Period between seventy and Seventy Four

The best in life I wanted more

The Wax company doing it for Me

For I was a child born to Boogie


I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp

I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around


I was nothing but a cosmic child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time twentieth Century


I was nothing but a Cosmic Child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time Twentieth Century


The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around

Keeping The Peace

 Have you ever wanted to make yourself small

Unseen like a spider above in the hall

Your mind just blank nothing to store

Your purpose to be totally ignored


Being introverted Holding on to the Night

Not wishing to talk you don't have the fight

Never strong enough to spit out the words

So cowering away like a caged bird


I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young


The words are there but never come out

But stay in your brain forever no doubt

I don't really know why I have always been cursed

Living with this affliction ever since birth


Through thick and thin I have heard it all

But never reacting even at school

Just me I guess so easy going

You have to believe " I'm really more knowing"


I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young


Feeling insecure and afraid

My anxiety takes hold and displays

The Cellophane in front of my eyes

Clear as day " I cant even lie"


I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young


Born to be mostly alone

In a small dark place on my own

Torment and people in crowded places

Makes me hot while my heart races


I cannot control how others perceive me

After all I am just only Me

Too old now set in my ways

But tomorrow is another day


A while ago when I left Home

For all the wrong reasons I wished to roam

Get away from what seemed to me

An institute of mentality


I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young


I have now found my Soulmate

But even now I hesitate

To speak my mind on how I find

I would have brought my mind but left it behind


Still the old version of trying to please

everyone else while keeping the peace.


I am hoping before I die

I find my voice and never more cry

For keeping inside what I want to say

Isn't right and not the best way


I will sit at home and maybe will find

One day stand up and speak my mind.

I am too nice I am Too nice

I told You once wont tell you twice


Have you ever wanted to make yourself small

Unseen like a spider above in the hall?

Teenage Tramp

 My Teenage years were so rewarding

Looking back on so many friends

No photo's no video no recording

To look back on share or defend

The Bonneys  were poor but rich in real life

 Realization cut like a knife


 Truthful  honest, Just two nice guys

Bermondsey  perfect I'll tell you no lie

I used the late night café at the Blue

Surrounded by people who looked out for You


A different life to anything known

when being the Rebel  in a broken home

Ride a white swan was given to me

A gift from a beauty on my birthday


This started a chain of a fabulous time

T, Rex were my Band and the music sublime

Every track that I heard

Gave me reason to live

Bolan was magic with wonder to give


Every move every gesture every word

Left me Happy and rest assured

That life had new meaning

The Slider was king

The Ballroom of Mars doing my thing


I  banged along to Get It On

With Debora could not go wrong

Telegram Sam became the Main Man

Jeepster soon arrived bringing more fans


Metal guru Cars and love

This was pure heaven a gift from above

The children joined in the revolution

Bolan boogie the wild solution


For all my problems and criminal intent

Truck on Tyke You had my consent

Everything after Twentieth century boy

Was always to be a time of pure joy.


Solid gold Easy Action The Groover screams for reaction

I loved loved loved loved loved the light

of love it made me feel so right

Oh Venus loon that was such a tune

 As we lived upon a Crimson Moon

I would have not made it through

 without the Seventies " How about You"?

You were our main man a bright shiny star

The idol whom rocked with chrome Sitar.

Turn up the V, Turn up the Amp

Cuz you aint nothing but a raw ramp

I aint nothing but a T.REX  tramp  You aint Nothing but a Raw Ramp

I aint nothing but a T.REX  tramp 


Turn up the Vee Ramp  up the Amp.

Yeah! Turn up the Vee You T .REX Tramp

Detective Dreams

 Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal


Placing people in a certain order

Of where they were at the time of Murder

Scrutinizing Evidence

The motif surely Inheritance


I really need to analyze

of what went on behind my eyes

The dream I had that seemed surreal

Was it deadly or no big deal


Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal


I can't explain or truly express

Why I feel so down and dammed depressed

My body hurts and my mind too

Will Sherlock help me find the clue


Watching Miss Marple and her thoughts

on the body found on the Tennis Court

Blood red on his back where the knife still lurks

Fingerprints so vital for the detective experts


Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal


Watching Detectives on my screen

May one day help solve the dream

The One I had while I slept

The fatal blow when I just wept


But dreams it seems do sometimes lie

As Sherlock finds no alibi

Miss Marple had too finally agree

Turned off my dream and made the tea.


 Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream 


Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream


Wake me from my latest dream

Dream on Dream on dream on and dream.



 

Moonbeam

I heard a sound in my forest grand

So on the ground my eyes began to scan

I found a light of true majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me


Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter


The Moonbeam spiritually started to dance

I could only watch as if in a trance

Like Fireworks sparkling all around

My knees felt weak as I knelt down

Something from above fell into my land


A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter


This stunning piece of artistry

Came down from somewhere just for me

I held my breath beheld its presence

Sending my gaze toward the heavens


It bought a sense of peace and calm

And gave to me a song of charm

It floated up toward the sky

And whispered a sweet lullaby


Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter


I thanked it kindly as it rose

For making me the one it chose

Returning to Angels waiting above

Filling Me with eternal love


Knowing that I was loved and not alone

Blessing the forest my spiritual home

Every morning I praise the way

The Moonbeam came to save the day


Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter


I found a light of  majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me


I found a light of  majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me
