Walking through the streets of Brady Square
Memories of all the people there
Feeling like a stranger lost without a care
Walking through the streets of Brady Square
Heading to my house but there's no one there
Feeling like a ghost on the streets of Brady Square
Well it had to be some time, could never be no time
I see the Tarmac beach and the green of the Terraces oh yeah!
I'm thinking about Tot Lewins, Ernie Hardy, Polly Ferry
And a whole host of locals been and gone
I'm a boy from St Joseph's and I’m on the run
I’m roaming around with my ping pong bat
I see the Shiney Row boys heading up to attack
I have my birds egg collection hidden in the wash house yeah!
My uncle Charles was a dog-handler in the army
But when he hits the Vic baby he goes barmy
See the cobbler’s sunflower high above the prefabs yeah
Jimmy Chadwick, Mary Todd, Howard Kendal and John Kinross
Just ghosts of my memory shape the way I see
Catherine wheels, London lights, Jonty Colson doing Tarzan with all his might
And the bus shelter was the HQ of the BSAB!
I love the deceptive simplicity of so many of Boo's songs. A master craftsman at songwriting. I bought the album even though I already have most the songs...because he deserves to be recognised. And he is funny. helenflunder
Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow
