Theme : Pull My Finger Ring out the old Sing in the new I found outside in the cold Cause I thought that they knew I won't let you go But I've let you down I won't say what I know Some day they'll find out I'd do it again Cause that's who I am Help you carry on Things change But it's foolish to think only you could be pulling my fingers So bring out your dead Hear what they say I will carry you Into the grave

An old fashioned Christmas song. Written on 24.12.2021, and recorded on 25.12.2021 Words and Music Nik Newark Theme : Whiteout Smells like winter, tastes of Christmas Feels like it could snow Hanging on to days like this that happened long ago Time to shake the snow globe and watch 'em disappear Whietout and snowbound Ready for another year Nights are long in late December, never see the sun Days so short do you remember nights when we were young Waking up on Christmas morning, magic in the air Whiteout and snowbound ready for another year Years go on spent circling the sun Time to face another one In Christmas past and Christmas future blurring into one Rasie a glass to Christmas present now the days are done Time to shake the snow globe up and watch it disappear Whiteout and snowbound Ready for another year

Theme : Pu Pu Platter

Theme : Tell me everything Tell me everything you know 'bout how to write a Broadway show Who are you? Stephen Sondheim Sometimes it's hard to overlook in the musical arts you wrote the book Who are you? Stephen Sondheim You can see the truth in a perfect rhyme You can break the rules at the end of a line You can do it all , with even a non-rhyme Stephen Sondheim! And you're content that less is more and that content dictates for, Who are you? Stephen Sondheim And if you'd shown me what you knew then I could do the things you do Who are you? Stephen Sondheim You could write it all, the music and lyrics The rise and fall and fun with phonetics No problem at all completion on time For Stephen Sondheim But now you're gone and the world carries on They've got to find someone new to take your place Somebody consumed with a passion for words Amazing tunes for the chorus and verse Or maybe for all of these reasons combined It's Stephen Sondheim!

Theme : Pun Intended

Theme : Antidisestablishmentarianism

A collision between Remembrance Day and Cop26 (and this week's Song A Week theme of "Out of sight"). Remember the soldier Divided Europa Imagine a future Falling before you so many years ago What is that to you? It’s out of sight, out of mind We sing Hallelujah and pray for the future That it’ll get better when its all over You say its not enough Well, don’t be so stupid It’s out of sight out of mind Mind your own business You cannot boil the ocean in a day Tear it up and throw it away Why don’t you live it up Carry on and go about your day Waiting for something to change Waiting for someone to say Abracadabra and make it all better Look to the future where everything’s warmer by 1.5° And what does that matter? It's out of sight, out of mind
