The lyrics for “To Be With You at Christmas” were written by Rob Ashmore.All you good citizens, rest from your labours, come buy your dreams for a penny a bag,Now is the time you can score on your neighbours, get yourself something they never had,Comes in yellow and comes in blue; here’s a special one I saved for you,Name your heart’s delight, I will see you right; look around and you are sure to see me.Door to door, street to street, every day to day, listen I’m coming your way,Door to door, with the words that I always say, to you, behind your door to door.Look at the cloth and just look at the label, genuine bargain, what can you lose?Polish your mind as you polish your table, think of the children, can you refuse?Don’t you worry about what you pay, that’s tomorrow and not today,Here’s the brush to use, shines your dirty shoes, cleans your teeth and then it sweeps your chimney!Door to door, street to street, every day to day, listen I’m coming your way,Door to door, with the words that I always say, to you, behind your door to door.Day to day, week to week, door to door, street to streetAnd I spend every day on my poor aching feet,When people slam their door to see my case - in my face,I know I’d do the same if it were me in their place.And my home’s in a case, with my bed and my face,Never stay on my way, because there’s no time to waste.There’s a side of me I never show, as I go,Flash my pearly smile and say hello, hello!Enough of this nonsense, there’s customers waiting, business is business, money is time,Got to continue this life I am hating, death of a salesman mustn’t be mine,Gather round then at last I’m here, I’ll find a smile and I’ll hide a tear,Tell you what we’ll do, change my place with you, leave me here awhile as you go walkingDoor to door, street to street, every day to day, listen I’m coming your way,Door to door, with the words that I always say, to you, behind your door to door.
APRIL CAME IN AUGUST (Ashmore-Payne) 1968 by Robbi Curtice & Tom PayneThis song was originally intended as the follow-up to When Diana Paints the PictureThe girl had the look of the SpringAnd Spring had her nameBut in Summer she came ....I thought she’d never arrive.April came in August - better late than never,April came in August - better late than not at all.I searched in the whispering rainThat showered the groundBut nothing I foundTill the sun came to show me the way.April came in August - better late than never,April came in August - better late than not at all.April came in August - better late than never,April came in August - better late than not at all.Barbara Carlotti official website www.barbaracarlotti.comProfessional Reportage Wedding Photographer based in Cardiff, South Wales. www.tomashmore.co.ukwww.poke-music.co.ukwww.superstoremusic.co.ukRob, with his son Jimi, and Belinda Cullen (from The Bush, Tree and Me) co-wrote the first track - FRIEND OF MINE - on the new Zeamu Music CD (available to buy on i-Tunes and from the Zeamu website.
