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.
