LOST IN LEWIS'S
I have only just learnt of the death of Paul Ambrose Croghan (the person you call "Paul Connor". I can remember some of the lost "Lewis's" song - see below - but there are several ines including at the beginning which I can not remember. If anyone has a copy of the full lyrics I would be interested to hear. I am wondering whether any copies exist of the rest of Crogahn's poetry, as I always felt that much of it was worthy of preservation for posterity.

For I rose up on the up escalator
And oh my sweet darling descended the down.
Should escalators now separate us
As well as the fight of the previous night?
.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
I charged and barged with "Excuse me, excuse me"
To follow my darling, but saw I should fail.
I last saw my love in the Lewis's shoppers,
I saw her go out of the Market Street door
.   .   .   .   .   .   . on the Market Street pavement
And I never saw my sweet lover no more.
