The Nice - The Five Bridges Suite lyrics

Fantasia - 1st Bridge Instrumental 2nd Bridge Five bridges cross the Tyne And the city sits close by For some go north and some go south But each one seems to cry There's no good complaining 'bout dirty air 'cos there's nothing much else to breathe It's no good shouting from nine to five if you haven't got the guts to leave You do not want to leave But then you make yourself believe That you've got something up your sleeve Won't you take a walk with me down to the Jesmond Dene Very Green Chorale - 3rd Bridge Take me to Northumberland Street Where Northumberland people test their feet On a pavement On a crowded afternoon But no one wants to change this But I bet they'll do quite soon Take me to the new town hall With the light show on the wall In the evening All crimson, green and blue * Has your mother ever noticed? Perhaps she will quite soon Take me to St James's Park Where St James's people park their feet On a Saturday United there they stand Now everybody's dad's there ** With a bottle in his hand Take me down to Grey Street Where no great people ever meet On Grey Street It's all too very calm I don't suppose you've been there That don't change the rule High Level Fugue - 4th Bridge Instrumental Finale - 5th Bridge Five bridges cross the Tyne And the city sits close by For some go north and some go south But each one seems to cry It's no good complaining 'bout dirty air 'cos there's nothing much left to breathe And it's no good shouting from nine to five if you do not want to leave You do not want to leave But then you make yourself believe That you've got something up your sleeve Because you do not want to leave And so you make yourself believe * 'green' might be 'cream' ** or 'Everybody stands there, with a rattle in their hand' - the non-orchestra version sounds like this, but the version on the 'Five Bridges' album sounds like the lyric given
