24 Jun 03 - 06:25 AM (#971449) Subject: Lyr Req: You Can Have tomorrow From: Gurney My boy would like the lyrics of 'You Can Have Tomorrow' by Alan Bell, for his philosophy group, no less. If anyone has them already digitised, he would be obliged. If not, he doesn't need links to music, only words, as we have it on CD. He's busy swotting for exams, and the tape-recorder is on the blink, and it isn't easy to get the words off a CD, and......etc. |

CDs go back pretty quickly where on a tape, it's always harder to get to the right spot. With the time display on a CD, you can always back-track to the correct spot to listen to that passage again. |

It's on the 'one of these days' list. We can do it, it just takes more concentration. Sorcha, it isn't 'Christian,' it is philosophical, "You can have tomorrow, give me yesterday," looking back on simpler/happier times. We met Allen when he came over to NZ and attended the Auckland Folk Festival. A nice guy, and a founder of The Taverners folk group and director of the Fylde Folk Festival. Thanks for your efforts on our behalf. |

04 Feb 13 - 09:19 AM (#3475619) Subject: ADD: You Can Have Tomorrow (Alan Bell) From: s&r YOU CAN HAVE TOMORROW (Alan Bell) By the broken bridge on the old canal Where the water is muddy and brown I met an old man sitting on the bank With his dog lying on the ground With a face so worn and tired And a flat cap on his head He leaned on his stick as he looked around And this is what he said CHORUS You can have tomorrow please give me back yesterday You can have tomorrow please give me back yesterday For I know how my story's ending And if my dreams came true So I'll re-live all my yesterdays And leave tomorrow to you CHORUS Barges once glided by With cotton and coal for the mill Looms were busy in the weaving sheds Steam rose over the hills Black smoke filled the valleys From a thousand smoking spires Engines sang as wheels turned round And men made steel with fire Engines sang as wheels turned round And men made steel with fire CHORUS The mills are empty quiet and still Mice run over the floor Factory gates are bolted and barred The chimneys smoke no more Industrial desolation Where the silence can be heard Microchip technology Is now the only word Yes Microchip technology Is now the only word CHORUS By the broken bridge on the old canal Where the water is muddy and brown If you meet an old man sitting on a bank With his dog lying on the grund He'll tell you all his stories Of his life and times gone by He'll tell you of his memories He'll tell you why he cries He'll tell you of his memories He'll tell you why he cries CHORUS Stu |
