an old cynic's view

A rainy night in Glasgow

Not very often I try night shots I am usually tucked up by dark.
Jane and I went to see the King's Speech, I wasn't sure if it was my type of film but I must day it was good.
I thought for me the star of the show was Lionel the speech therapist
Colin Firth was very good as well and it gave in insight into how detatched the Royal family are from normal life.
As Billy Connolly once said "the Queen must think the world smells of paint"
Then a chinese meal and home, drawbridge up and portculliis down
Another day in the life.

I read the news today oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
if he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today oh, boy
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on.


Woke up, got out of bed
dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
and looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Ah


I read the news today oh, boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes
it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
