(Piece of) Paradise

This is a song written about my childhood friend Paul Bailey. Between the ages of about 8 till 12 he was my best friend and we were inseparable. Then his family moved away and I never saw him again. That was almost 60 years ago. I still remember him and the times that we had, though I am sometimes amazed that we survived, they were very different times......

I am joined by two Soundcloud friends
On stupendous saxophones - wonderful Georg Böhme https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
On gorgeous guitar - brilliant Dairv Dubbleyew https://soundcloud.com/dairv-dubbleyew
I am grateful to them both for sharing their time and talent and they really illuminate the song. I recommend going to listen to them, if you have not already : )

Me and Paul 

Me and Paul , down at the waters edge
Throwing clodges* to block up the stream 
We'll make a pond to swim in all summer long
Making a pond the size of a dream
Me and Paul, cowboys and indians
Up on the mountain all day long
Building shanties** and lighting fires
10 years old and going headlong

and ohh, we were wild and free
we did what we wanted
just him and me
Oh we did what we wanted
we were kings of our country

Me and Paul , building gambos*** from old pram wheels
rolling stones at the gates like a hammer blow
climbing the rocks in the quarry behind our homes
and breaking into busses in the park below
Me and Paul, collecting bottles for the money back
spending the pennies on bangers**** and cigarettes
making cannons out of old lead pipes
10 years old and we were going headlong

and ohh, we were dangerous
and most of all we were wild and free
10 years old and going headlong
the wildest desperados, in the Rhondda Valley


I have used Rhondda Valleys terminology
*clodges - a rough turf pulled by hand
**shanties – little hideaways or huts built with anything to hand, stones, earth, branches, rubbish
*** gambos – box carts, built with any old wood or wheels that could be found
****bangers - fireworks
