lyrics

Cheddar Road
by Barry Dickins with Leo Francis

Cheddar Road my spiritual load
Towards the moon you love to go
I have followed you to Mars
Now all you are is cars!

In the days of yore
Around the genesis of Reservoir
Someone dreamt you up I suppose
Unreal you are Cheddar Road!

Oh I love you Cheddar Road!

In the forties about that time
They put in the old pipeline
The pure genius that truly showed!
People walked their cows up it
Admiring the plops of shit
It was rather primitive then
I kicked the shit with my dad Len!

Oh I love you Cheddar Road!

I used to see The Highland Fling
Met a lady who knew Errol Flynn
The overheated bus it croaked
Up Cheddar Road just for the joke!

I miss seeing its deep pot holes
In its splendid puddles some tadpoles
All the men were Chris or Noel
How I love Thee Cheddar Road!

Oh I love you Cheddar Road!
Unreal you are Cheddar Road!

We waited for the bus all night
The summer moon burning like a light
People out in it were shelling peas!
I still see all the pioneers trudge
Up Cheddar Road in the ooze and mud
All the way from Lalor they have come
To walk the pipeline everyone!

Oh I love you Cheddar Road!
Unreal you are Cheddar Road!
Oh I love you Cheddar Road!
