lyrics

Past the peeling piers of Bournemouth;
past the edgy Boscombe scree;
through the Southbourne bungalows
where windows eye the aging sea;
Past the crusted cake of Christchurch,
Norman motts and clotted cream;
Britain bids you welcome at the Nelson
- Real Ales and Thai Cuisine.

Spin through Lyndhurst’s leafy lanes and
Burley’s wont for witchcraft kitch;
the gorse and grassy brooks of Sway
where horses pass the curtains’ twitch;
and whilst, by Beaulieu’s bend to Bucklers,
yachter’s yawn for G&T;
Britain bids you welcome at the Nelson,
- Real Ales and Thai Cuisine.

Because we’re needed,
because we’re breathing wipe the
2CB and Mandy from your nose.
Put on all the clothes that get you ready
for a day somewhat more steady
than the midnight gripes from pick-up pipes
let’s see how far the air can blow you. Go!

Past the cans and prams of Springbourne;
past the Winton white-boy fist.
There’s miles on miles of country mile
where toffs lived off their peasants’ grist.
Let’s jump atop their pleasant wreckings.
Pack a parka just for me, ‘cause

Britain bids you welcome at the Nelson,
-Real Ales and Thai Cuisine-
Britain bids you welcome at the Nelson,
-Real Ales and Thai Cuisine-
Britain bids you welcome at the Nelson,
-Real Ales and Thai Cuisine.

Joshua Ward London, UK

Voice of Bath. Hygiene of Bristol. Josh is the songwriter, actor, teacher and poet your parents will, at least initially, approve of.

"Middle class traitor".
"Cracked genius" "Thoughtful fool."

Channelling folk, a choirboy past and his unique lyricism, Josh has finally got off his prodigious backside to, at last, conquer the world.

Songs will be sung.
Hearts will be won.
Cities will fall. ... more
