Thanks for the offers of help and all the other comments, and I really don't know any of the words - all I was given was the title ("The Lift Song") and the author's name. I'm assuming the 'proper' title is Lift Girl's Lament because that was mentioned several times in JT's discographies, found through Google.

And yes, Eric, I was at Fylde on Saturday, singing with the Shellback Chorus. I was in the Steamer late morning/early afternoon before going on to our first spot. You must have extremely good eyesight if you could see me in the Steamer while you were going past in the car! I had been hoping to see you to get T-shirt and patches, but perhaps next time...
