sorry if this is in another thread somewhere - I still can't access the Forum :

Can someone please check these words for me - I can't quite make out 2 of the words (just got a compilation CD with this track on it - with the divine voice of Polly Bolton - who IS she???!!!) :


I am a traveller, old England left behind

I am a wanderer, I search for peace in time

Hard Hats in Paradise
Protect you from the stones of War (?)


And when I looked for you, I could not find the way

And when I found you, I had no words to say

Hard Hats in Paradise
Protect you from the stones of P ...(?)


there it is - tantalisingly short, but very lovely ...



Thanks, Cheers! R-J

I don't know how to make links, but you could check out: www.pollybolton.co.uk
Phil's site is being overhauled at the moment, so it is not going to be easy to get anything from there. Why not simply e-mail Polly directly and ask her? Good Luck. Alan.

I place the link to this thread to th SoH list, in the hope that someone there would be prepared to answer. This was the response.

If no answer from listees why not try the SoH guestbook -

Will you let us know if you find out where to find the missing words and what they are?

Here's how I hear it:


HARD HATS
As sung by a female vocalist unknown to me on Phil Beer's album "Hard Works" (2000)

I am a traveller, holding the lamp behind.
I am a wanderer; I search for peace in time.
Hard hats in paradise protect you from the stones that fall.
And when I looked for you, I could not find the way.
And when I found you, I had no words to say.
Hard hats in paradise protect you from the stones that fall.

If Bill Wyman fell on the head of someone famous, like Kerry Katona - that song would be a classic.
