RichardB Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 At the other site I visit on a regular basis we had a site song; a silly mystery tune by an unknown band from the 60's, but it summed us up. I've been on that site 10 years come the end of the month, I've visited America three times, stayed with several great friends (they remain friends to this day). The wife and me have been driven approximately 10,000 miles by road by our friends. Last year we even travelled to Dallas to keep a friend company on her drive to South Dakota to visit her Mother - some drive ! So, in thinking, here's one I've come up with, strange choice maybe, but, read the lyrics, see if you can do better for SheffieldHistory ... There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more Beatles http://interlyrics.com/B/Beatles/In_My_Life.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobberd Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Not as good as the Beatles lyric but one for the pub section perhaps. Once upon a time, there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours, Think of all the great things we would do Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La Then, the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern, We'd smile at one another and we'd say Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La Just tonight, I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass, I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me? Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La Through the door, there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we'd choose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days http://artists.letssingit.com/song-v7x2lgm Mary Hopkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have a song that always reminds me of Sheffield - in particular Tinsley. It is called Dirty Old Town which was originally written about Salford but the images it creates for me could so easily be Tinsley in the 50-60's. One verse in particular goes: I heard a siren in the night Saw a train set the night on fire Smelt the spring on a smoky wind Dirty Old Town Dirty Old Town Looking across from the Sheffield Road bridge (between Vulcan Rd and Bawtry Road) at night - this was how I remember it.

Soon - Bing Crosby (1935) "Soon, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, there'll just be two of us" Dedicated to the ugly buildings on The Moor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
