about

A song dedicated to our friend Paul 'Lenny' Dennis 1970 - 2018

Recorded @ Gorstey HQ and polished into shape by Mr Gavin Monaghan at the Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton, UK

lyrics

‘Lions’

Chambered in your heart, boxed into your soul
Magic rivers flow
Turn the radio up, turn it up, turn it up
Let the rivers flow

You realised the truth was always chasing you
Listen to the songs now, wake up and listen,
Only when you walk it only when you know
When you know, you know, you know, you know it yeah

Sing us a song
Come real close yeah, so we can hear you
Sing us a song
Turn it up yeah, so we can hear you

Hear the church bells chime,
Let the day begin, let the day begin
Smell the morning light, take the first breath in
I'm so glad that I am a dreamer

Everybody says you won't get anywhere with your schemes
So get a job, wake, wake up yeah
Play the numbers right so you can get the right
To wake up like a lion, rise from the slumber

Sing us a song
Come real close yeah, so we can hear you
Sing us a song
Turn it up yeah, so we can hear you

Keep us on the bright side, bright side of the road
Keep us never knowing where we're gonna end up
All we want is freedom, all we want is real
Even if we don't know, when you know, you know yeah

Sing us a song
Come real close yeah, so we can hear you
Sing us a song
Turn it up yeah, so we can hear you

Gorstey Lea AKA

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...
