It's a thinline between heaven and Hull ,Hull only one letter from Hell

O

As we look at our situation sometimes we want it to be well perhaps just different 
Being dropped off in my home town city the 2017 City of Culture
You may think it's seen better days
Except it has not
It still at the end of the line
Still a former fishing town
That was badly bomded during the War

Still neglects the homesteads and the occupants of that famous City 
by the dirty river filled with Mud called the Humber
Still place l grew up
Place of memories
Somehow l cannot see the culture year changing that 
Because so much is finically out of pocket for those living there 
who by and large are money poor
There been a lack of communication with these people about 
what they want from a city of culture

They are going to get what they always get
The chance to have things done to them 
By so called experts
The money will be spent
The year will roll by
The `toffs and hairyarsed basket` cases running the show 
Well . ..they will be more enabled at the end . . with more cash for themselves
The community of Hull 
They will just get what they are given....at a cost
Fireworks and fresh air 
That will be the legacy of the year of culture for the good folk of Hull
Nothing else...same as it everwas!

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
