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.

Sorry it appears to be a duff link, but there may be enough to give you the idea?

I tried it from the original message and it worked - so one last go.

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.
