From the age of 15 when I first stepped into the world of employment I was told it would be a major advantage to get a job that lasted through to the State retirement age of 65. At the time I'll admit it was not something I took at all seriously.  When you’re that age, the last thing on your mind is bloody retirement.   

However, by the time I reached my early 50’s and had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my mind became a little more concentrated on reaching what might now  conceivably prove to be an eminently missable target.  In the interim, the UK government decided that, given the population was living considerably longer than it once had, they would incrementally be raising the retirement age, meaning that mine now became 66. 

Our dear old Nan was a dedicated Bingo player and knew that number callers used particular phrases for certain numbers, one of the best known being 66, known as  ‘Clickety Click’.  So reaching pensionable age became inextricably linked to Bingo, hence the title and subject matter of this song.   

The number one - ‘Kelly’s Eye’ - seemed a good place to start and having done some fascinating research, I worked my way through the Bingo calls, choosing the ones whose scansion worked best, until I reached the magic ‘Clickety Click'.  

As the chorus explains, there were no guarantees I’d actually get there, it was just a target.  But I did get there and this song celebrates the fact.  

The song ends with the traditional exclamation of the player who has won the game, being either ‘House!’ or ‘Bingo!’.  When I was recording the vocals, my constant and beautiful companion Marvin (it is he who is pictured in the cover art) reacted to my shouts with a loud bark, perfectly in time, so we decided to keep it in.  Marv is with me at 99% of the recordings and enjoys being involved when the opportunity presents.

As always, huge thanks to the wonderful Hans Albers for another brilliant backing track which is, as I think you’ll agree, perfect for the song.  That man is a genius.
Thanks so much for listening.   (Terry Reeves)


It all started with Ned Kelly’s eye (1)
A cup of tea (3) to stop going dry
Tom Mix (6) wearing hat, riding fast
Monkey’s cousin (12) hanging, trying to last
Key of the door (21), two little ducks (22)
Paid half a crown (26), keep up the luck
In a state (28), rise and shine (29) but alive
One dirty knee (33) to help jump and jive (35)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six, a target to achieve

Half way to laugh, more than eleven (37)
As life begins (40), time for fun (41) isn’t heaven
Up to tricks (46) towards four dozen (48)
Five-0, Five-0, it’s off to work (50) with percussion
Danny la Rue (52), a man at the door (54)
The snakes are alive (55) but don’t wriggle more
Shotts bus (56) to Scotland, check the sign
Variety of Heinz (57) to the Brighton Line (59)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six a target to achieve

A baker’s bun (61) all tickety boo (62)
Tickle me (63), almost retired (64) laughing too
Retirement age(65), it should have been fun
Clickety click (66), getting paid
Take the money and run  
Route 66, nearly there
Clickety click, the sound of my wheelchair

Lyrics:
Wait for me
I'm not far behind
I know that i can change
Remembering
All of those nights
Beneath the window frame
Don't know why
We keep going round and round
in the same place
Can't decide
To live my life on the ground or in outer space
Memories
Keep me waiting for you
Leave with me
To the stars above I think I'm ready for you

Wait For Me - Paploviante

A beautiful day and the sun is shining down
Those golden rays help to wipe away the frown
Keep the vibe high
Don't let a 
Thing pass you by
A beautiful day , A beautiful day

Dumb Ass

Post-pandemic euphoric travellers filling jets bound for destinations unknown...jet trails of mystery ..... or misery for the planet?
Cutting down on burning of jet fuel is going to help the climate crisis...but who's going to go first?

My Fusion Heart

Eleventh Generation

In Human Resources

January’s fool steps out into the limelight.
The first day of the year is always filled with fear
and hope and love and good intention.

February’s fool wraps up against the cold
wind blows a hole where a heart used to be
and now doesn’t even get a mention.

March fools, April fools we are
waiting out the winter.

May’s fool is turning over new leaves
hoping spring will bring some clear days,
show new ways to be together.

June fools, July fools we are
regretting and forgetting to surrender.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same.
Trying to take control again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.

August’s fool is holding on to sunshine,
ignoring all the straight lines
between us and the future.

September’s fool is rushing headlong
into something that just feels wrong
and is nothing more than rumour.

October fools, November fools we are
and December’s too.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same,
holding on in vain again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.
Take care of everything.

A Gathering of Sorts

Worried Fools

This is actually a remix of the song “Where We Want To Be” which I shared about four years ago when I first joined Soundcloud.   “Winter's Road” was in fact the original title when the song was written.  So I decided to fall back to that with this remix.   See what you think.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
I cannot speak for all who stem
Long road less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
By words they spoke and did not say.

(Chorus)
All roads lead to where we go
Where we go is where we have been,
So home’s just a word we know,
For where we want to be again.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

Repeat Chorus

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is gonna to be
Another road or just a place.

Repeat Chorus
