Seems like an appropriate time for a re-issue of this particular seasonal classic #rowinglyrics
FAIRYTALE OF BARNES BRIDGE (with apologies to The Pogues)
FAIRYTALE OF BARNES BRIDGE (with apologies to The Pogues)
It was Scullers Head babe
On the Tideway
An old man said to me, please spin around this buoy
And then he told me just
To tap it round on red
I turned my boat away
And checked my gate threads
On the Tideway
An old man said to me, please spin around this buoy
And then he told me just
To tap it round on red
I turned my boat away
And checked my gate threads
Got in the tidal stream
Steering just like a dream
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So keep the rate up
I love you baby
I can see our quickest times
When all our dreams come true
Steering just like a dream
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So keep the rate up
I love you baby
I can see our quickest times
When all our dreams come true
Given the news about @ThamesTradesmen issues yesterday, this number from the #rowinglyrics archive seems seems to fit the bill. Fingers crossed that common sense prevails and if you haven't already, please do sign the petition.
MY BELOVED BOAT-CLUB (with apologies to Eels)
MY BELOVED BOAT-CLUB (with apologies to Eels)
My beloved boat-club and me,
We go everywhere together.
Wearing a splash-top and one-piece,
Gets us through all nasty weather.
It will always be the only thing,
That comes between me and the awful sting,
That comes from living in a world
That hates rowing.

In my boat-club, the training’s tough.
If you’re weak it will destroy you.
And if you try a 5K test,
Your little heart, it could explode.

A special new entry, written just for @ThamesTradesmen. About as much practical use as 'Thoughts & Prayers' of course but if it only raises a smile... #rowinglyrics #rowingfamily
THE ROW MUST GO ON (with apologies to Queen)
THE ROW MUST GO ON (with apologies to Queen)
Empty boat racks, what are we training for?
Abandoned races, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know who we are looking for?
Another zero, another faceless man
Behind the curtain, of the ‘masterplan’
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?

The row must go on
The row must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My boat club may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
The row must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My boat club may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
