On the Limehouse Cut

 

Water lapping
People jogging
Coots are cooing
Under the bridge

Engines roaring
Sirens wailing
Rubbish floating
Under the bridge

The Limehouse Cut is a short cut
It was made over 200 years ago
It brings in goods from all over the world
The Limehouse Cut is a short cut

And they built the Cut
The boats went up
And they brought in tea
Along the River Lea
Now the gates are shut
On the Limehouse Cut

Roads and cars
Riverside bars
All on the side
Of the Limehouse cut

People throw
Litter in
They're just too lazy
To use the bin

The Limehouse Cut is a short cut
It was made over 200 years ago
It brings in goods from all over the world
The Limehouse Cut is a short cut

And they built the Cut
The boats went up
And they brought in tea
Along the River Lea
Now the gates are shut
On the Limehouse Cut

You've Gotta Take a Shortcut

Well I've got a life
And you've got one too
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to get through
When it gets tough
With all that stuff
Well this is what you do

Oh, you've gotta take a short cut
Yes you have
Oh, you've gotta take a short cut
When life gets too tough
You've gotta take a short cut

The Sail Makers Song

Cold

Dark

Fragile

Dusty

Slimy

Spooky

Rotten

Crusty

At 12 O'Clock it's Midnight
Everyone's asleep
The ghost comes out and haunts us
The wheels begin to creek

The candlelight is flickering
The shadows in the sky
They laugh, as they are sewing
I wonder how they died?
