Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 19

On the Turning Away

Happy 80th Birthday to David Gilmour!

“Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud”

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 95

A Night at the Opera

This groundbreaking album was released 50 years ago today.

“Talk like a big business tycoon,
But you're just a hot - air balloon,
So no one gives you a damn,
You're just an overgrown school - boy
Let me tan your hide.”
