The Stuff of Colin

The Blue of Manchester

I pledge allegiance to the blue of Manchester As did my dad, my brother And my father's father A kinship on the Kipax Together in song As the boys in sky blue Who are playing to win Grace the arena with history And paint the young lads dreams. Emotions move from pole to pole With every misplaced pass A shot, a save, a round of applause The intake of a near-miss gasp. Elation of the win Misery in defeat Yet every step in any direction We stood and kept the faith And now in our new home As the next chapter is being written The highs of gaining some success Trophies being lifted. But if it all went wrong tomorrow If the highlights faded to grey I and my kinship will still be standing Pride in battle Victory on derby day. As one we rise for great or misfortune Together we believe that our faith will be repaid That the next glory will come and reward us soon One voice, one heart, one City... Bluemoon

The fact that performers of this calibre are willing to help me promote my collection, entertain the good folks around here and raise money for Trinity Hospice is testament to the draw Blackpool has."

Amazing

Everything is already amazing

Even the bad

Everything is a wonderment in many eyes

Even the sad

Everything is a tactile journey across the meadows of an open mind

Even the mad

Everything leads to a something that never ends just keeps on delivering

Even the glad

Everything is more than the sum of all our parts

Even my dad

Everything is the smallest unique contribution to the world of just one

Even my lad

Everything is amazing

Even me

Your Journey

Across the universe I seek the truth

In me I read the scriptures

Gaze upon the light of neverending life

I stand before your rapturous denial

Delight, celebrate and enjoy

Bask in the glow of all who create

Never leave the train, never stop the ride

Get off only at you destination

Trust the sun

Smile at the moon

Listen to your own song

The travel arrangements have be made for a long time now

You just need to choose which route suits you

Monsieur, Madame, Mademoiselle
