Leapfrog

 I walked my way to this cliff

I knew I'd be our last kiss

I leap I fall I leave it all

But find that I can fly

I soar, I spiral, I dive

I come up again, alive

Amazing feeling of being free

But I had to jump in order to be

Me

Swallows who amaze on time

 Oh but those people I've left behind

Or did they leave me

Or did time just fly

Oh in the wind we lie

Like swallows on the wing

Asleep for most of our lives

Until we realise we can sing

Thinking of let

 I'm thinking of letting you think

If you're thinking of letting me let

And if you are getting with letting me get

What I think you are thinking of getting

Me drinking until getting me wet

Well if you are drinking of lettings and gets

Or Getting on with drinking and thinking

There should be nothing you forget

Except to let go of your thinking

For we all need room to think

And some need a space to drink

A gold fish has both in his bowl

As wiseman may have in his tower

And who said a man's home is his castle

When the walls of the mind are so thin

That a barrage of Amazon parcels

Could disturb the good mood he is in

Tinker

My name is Tinker 

I live on the ground floor

I live downstairs from you

Yes, I think you’ve seen me before

 

If you hear something in the day

Some kind of barking, some kind of bay

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

 

I think it's because I'm a black dog

That they made me bark so loud

They wanted me to fight wild hogs

Just so I could please the crowd

 

They only tease you until you bark

After that you're afraid of the dark

You just aren't friendly anymore

You just aren't friendly anymore

You just aren't friendly anymore

 

Yes I think it's a nice day

I'm going for a walk again

If you ask Becky that's what she'll say

And she's my friend now and always 

 

I guess I like it when we are alone

With nice words spoken, and a juicy bone

Just don't ask me what’s the plan?

Becky says we’re moving to Ilfracombe

Just know we’re going to the sea and sand

 

My name is Tinker

Now I live on the first floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes, I think you've seen me before

 

If you hear something in the day

Some kind of laughter, some kind of play

Just know that I'm happy now

Just know that I'm happy now

Just know that I'm happy now

 

Yes, I think I’m happy now

I walked along the shore again

If you ask Becky, that’s what she’ll say

And life’s good in Ilfracombe all the way

 

Now they only please me when they pass

And I can go run in the sea and play at last

Now we'll just be happy forevermore

Now we'll just be happy forevermore

Now we'll just be happy forevermore

Rooves of the land

 Rooves of the land

Unite all under one roof

Let not the weather take

The upper hand

But defend, defend the house of truth

All the red riding hood summer plans

All the pigs in their brick houses, goof

Oh all the wolves who are outsiders

Trying to blow down the roof

Rooves of the land unite against

The common threat of rain

And hail

Make yourselves bullet proof

Oh, tile not carelessly

Ye roofers spiralling high

On ladders and on scaffolding

Shaky stilts of ill design

Let not the rooves of England fail

Whether thatched or English shingles

Dingle not, nor dangle your crop

In guttering like pringles

For once you pop you can't stop

Your roof repairing jingles
