Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.
Underneath the arches,
On cobblestones I lay.
Ev'ry night you'll find me,
Tired out and worn.
Happy when the daylight comes creeping,
Heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining,
And sleeping when it's fine,
I hear the trains rattling by above.
Pavement is my pillow,
No matter where I stray.
Underneath the Arches
I dream my dreams away.

Away with your English religion,
And your baseless meaningless faith,
For the only rock it is built on,
Are the balls of Henry the Eighth.

Woah, the hokey cokey,

Woah, the hokey cokey,
Knees bent, arms stretched, ra ra ra!

Stephen Green Newtonabbey, has it ever occurred to you that someone somewhere, holed up in a cave on a remote island in the South Pacific, was one final lone soldier of the Japanese Empire who was determined to fight the Americans to the last, long after eveyone else had put down their guns and Americans were watching Sony televion sets and driving around in Toyotas? Doesn't it sometimes get cold and lonely in your cave?

Billy, leave it to you to add a sectarian comment. I'm for free speech, though, since it's the best way to shame idiot nonsense like your little ditty.

Not a little ditty as you put it but a forgotten verse from our National Anthem

What an interesting little exchange between Billy and David (Oxford)! What David feels is sectarian used to be part of the National Anthem and Billy feels that it's useful to remember it. All manner of questions prompted by this exchange come to mind..

William maybe you can confirm this. Isn't the person who's sleeping in the picture no other than TREVOR WILLIAMS, one of your predecessors as presenter of Sunday Sequence on the ´óÏó´«Ã½?
