lyrics

SAM'S BIG DAY

Not a dry-eye in the church hall, as we left in single-file
It's seems a long way from Southampton
When you're walking down the aisle
My sis, she told me about that time
When you're walking down the aisle
She said "You're childhood passes through your mind."
But that's all history now, so come on

From the rolling lips and rusty ships to the heart of London town
Somewhere, someone to pick you up
When your highs still get you down
And after working hard through the winter months
You took some money from the kitty
And you headed south for a final fling
In the place we call 'Stress City'

Skipping through the prairies, rolling in the hay
Once you've seen the look that says it all
There's nothing left to say

Well, there'll be signposts across the channel showing us the way
Making tracks on Sam's big day

Bob looked dazed as the flag was raised
But he kept both feet on the ground
He said "I hope you can see, it's a new scene to me
I've got to study what I've found."
I've done my time and I need to work
But don't get so down big fella
Because there's times you win and there's times you lose
And there's times you've got to tell her

Chorus ... Rendezvous on Sam's big day

Chorus ... All made up on Sam's big day
