Broken Down Radio 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I reached out for a timeless branch of hope A call out from the rooftops A story from a broken down radio Pack your bags and shelve your fears Now you’ve gone and missed your ‘blue sky boat’ For a generation… Dangled by the rise of tomorrows sun Smell your blood and chase your fears I won’t march alone I’ll sing until my throat runs dry Building bridges over forgotten tales On a broken down radio Broken Down Radio - Broken Down Radio Standing there with your eluded smile Are you ready to jump? Turn the volume up and change your gear Are you ready to run? Run, run, run, run, run, run, run… Caught inside a storm of bedtime stories Luckily kings will crumble Tired of all the mid ships gathered round Spread your seeds and take your clear I won’t march alone I’ll sing until my throat runs dry Building bridges over forgotten tales On a broken down radio Broken Down Radio - Broken Down Radio

Lowborn Sundown Stargazing Tomorrow The maps are set To be redrawn Lowborn Stargazing Tinderbox Memories Hymnal Blessed Beliefs Starless and bible black Under a red moon glow Tomorrow Hymnal Promises. Of harvesting. Of hope. And home Dreams. From the embers. Ashes. Gold Ashes. Gold. Go! Go! Go! Gold The Future: Inside You in my arms. You in my arms… You… Here… You in my arms. You in my arms… You… Here… You… Here… Sunset Sunrise… HEY! the sunrise

Saint Marie 05:20

At 55 Saint Marie How you stole my heart on a summer breeze The wind and rains had took this breath away We rumbled home on a downtown train At 55 Saint Marie A piano played with naivety A 3 note phrase that would replay ‘I love you’ We’ll walk this earth as ‘a’ one Daughter to mother, father from son All is love At 55 Saint Marie Lies the safe house for the meek The Great Western for the wanderer A song unsung In this book of days, a day to daydream Love is all, love is all, love is all that you need Illuminate Illuminate Be still my heart with the fading light Be still my heart in these changing times How the magic comes to the spaces in between The rain drenched flags of Saint Marie At 55 Saint Marie That piano played with naivety A 3 note phrase that would replay ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’

September came like a Pacific breeze In the air and on a wave The best since '76 From a boy… I came all the way back here again A man on a rooftop over a sunrise rhythm And the waters of my soul The waters of my Ocean soul will call me for the first time Spread these words my bless-ed boys Going to be here Always be here The ocean bird has burned my soul I'm wild as a fire The battle horn Like a bullet to my soul From the valve and on a skip The best since '81 From the coast land Running my way back home again A tale from a b-side under a new soul vision And the waters of my soul The waters of my Seven souls will call me for the first time She could see those dancing flames Pastel fields to the river bankers The ocean bird has burned my soul I'm wild as a fire September came like a Pacific breeze In the air and on a wave The best since '76 From a boy... I came all the way back here again A man on a rooftop over a sunrise rhythm Over a sunrise rhythm A man on a rooftop over a sunrise… A man on a rooftop over a sunrise… A man on a rooftop over a sunrise… Rhythm

about

The Gorstey Lea Street Choir image

The Gorstey Lea Street Choir Burntwood, UK

The Gorstey Lea Street Choir formed one cold winters night in December 2016. Two friends on a life long journey.

Michael first met Russ in 1985, Michael was 15, Russ was 19.

31 years later we have started making music together.

Here are the fruits of our labour, brought to you with realism, hope and in glorious technicolour...

To be continued...
