We welcome you all to our hood
and hope you find this workshop good
There are some things you need to know
So listen up and here we go.
Immobilise your mobile phones
Don't ring your friends and don't call home
Go to the lifts, turn left and see
the toilets… Don't forget the key
and bring it back and put it where
the water is… Just over there!

Housekeeping Rap
We don't do coffee …. sorry it’s true
But downstairs Starbuck’s is there for you.
We'll have a break at half past, then,
Make sure you come back up again.
Without any more ado
Let me introduce the crew.

The Town ChildI live in the town in a street,It is crowded with traffic and feet.There are buses and motors and trams,I wish there were meadows and lambs.
The houses all wait in a row,There is smoke everywhere that I go.I don’t like the noises I hear,I wish there were woods very near.
There is only one thing that I love,And that is the sky far above.There is plenty of room in the blue,For castles of clouds and me too!

Water
Water has no taste at all, (4 beats)Water has no smell. (3 + rest )Water’s in the waterfall, (4 beats)In pump, and tap and well. (3 + rest)

And bathes me in its afterglow …

It seems like only yesterday ...
It seems like only yesterday,That I was born and life began.That year I learned to laugh and play,It seems like only yesterday.
It seems like only yesterday,I met my love and we were wed.Life was good, what’s more to say?It seems like only yesterday.
Now 80 years have been and gone,My life’s complete, I don’t have long.Treasure each moment, don’t lose your way,Or you will wish for yesterday. (see handout for full poem).
