Bristol Ho!Trad: Arranged: Wendy Sergeant

Soprano Lead:From Bristol harbour we set sail,When blowin’ it was the devil of a gale,With the ring-tail set all avast the mizzen peak,And the rule brittania plowin' up the deep. Chorus:With a Bristol Ho! Tow row rowFoll dee roll dee rye dolly day.

Bass Lead:Then up steps the skipper from down below,And looks aloft, lads, and looks alow,He looks alow and he looks aloftAnd it’s “Tighten up your ropes, lads, fore and aft”

Chorus Soprano Lead:Then down to his cabin he quickly crawls,To his poor old steward he savagely bawls,“Go and mix me a glass that will make me cough,For it’s better weather here than it is up aloft”

Chorus Bass Lead:While it’s we poor seamen are up on decks,With the blasted rain sliding down our chilly necks,Not a drop of grog will he afford,For he damns our eyes with every other word.

Chorus Soprano Lead:Now there’s just one thing we all do crave,That the captain meets with a watery grave,So we’ll throw him down into some dark hole,Where the sharks’ll have his body and the devil have his soul.

ConcreteRyan Morrison

Note: where only one column is shown, the parts are in unison. Where the mids & lows differ from the highs, they are shown in a second column. So the mids & lows sing the parts in bold. In places where the highs and lows sing ‘oooooo’ on one note, the mids sing a descending scale of three.

Go go, go. Go go, go.Go go, go. Go go.

Constructing our structures is great with mud & sticks,Go, go, ah oooooo

Go go, go. Go go, go.Go go, ah oo, go go.

And building our own homes with gyprock, tiles & bricksGo, go, ah oooooo


But there’s one last material that makes it all completeGet some sand water & stone & mix it with cement to make

Go go, go. Go go, go.Go go, go. Go go, go.

Concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete. <Huh>It’s really quite heavy.

Go go, go. Go, go, go.Go go, go. Go go.

Well the Romans built their empire with cement & aggregateGo, go, ah oooooo

Go go, go. Go go, go.Go, go, ah oo, go go.

Their knowledge of concretion was bloody good mateGo, go, ah oooooo


To build a coliseum was no easy featAnd it’s still standing strong after two millennia of

Go go, go. Go go, go.Go go, go. Go go, go.

Concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete. <Huh>It’s really quite heavy.

Concrete, oi oi oiConcrete, oi oi oiConcrete, oi oi oiConcrete, oi oi oi

But too much structure only leads to trouble Losing ourselves in the concrete jungleEverywhere we turn there’s so much concreteSo much concrete, so so much much

Concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete, ah oooooo,The Romans liked concrete, ah oooooo,We like concrete. <Huh>It’s really quite heavy.

Lay me down a slab of concrete,Ah ooooooWhile I wait 4 or 5 hours <Huh>…….. I wannaFeel the sensation, of a good foundationSo lay me down a slab of concrete.

Concrete, ah oooooo, slab of concrete.Ah oooooo, we like concrete,Ah oooooo, 4 or 5 hours. <Huh>Until it’s ready1

Feel the sensation, of a good foundationSo lay me down a slab of concrete.

1 Stress on first syllable of ‘Until’. Rhythm: dot, dot, dah, dah, dah

Down in the River to Pray

As I went down in the river to pray Studying about that good old way And who shall wear the robe and crown Good Lord, show me the way

O <brothers> let's go down, Let's go down, come on down, O brothers let's go down, Down in the river to pray.

Repeat with sisters, mothers, etc

O brothers let's go down, LoudLet's go down, come on down, O brothers let's go down, Down in the river to pray.

O brothers let's go down, SoftLet's go down, come on down, O brothers let's go down, Down in the river to pray.

Just becauseStephen Taberner

Just because I wear this foolish tieDoesn’t mean my head and heart have gone awryI’m a glow-worm alone in the gloomI’m a flower that’s waiting to bloom

Just because I’m trapped inside this suitDoesn’t mean that I don’t yearn to play the luteI’m a minstrel who waits in the wingsFor his one opportunity – to sing

But one day I will break free…..one day I will break free…..

Just because I work from 9 till 5Doesn’t mean my fantasies won’t come aliveI’m a dreamer in multiple huesBut I’m stuck in these corporate blues

But one day I will break free…..one day I will break free…..one day I will break free…..

Let me through

Let me through, let me throughI've got very important things to do

I wear a suit and I wear a tie,I wear pants with a button-up fly,I wear boxer shorts that are pulled up high

I got up ‘specially early for this,Didn't even get a morning kiss,I'm going to take no prisoners Let me through

Nobody knows how important I am.
