“In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep

From the mountains of faith

To a river so deep

I must be looking for something

Something sacred I lost

But the river is wide

And it’s too hard to cross.”

Billy Joel – The River of Dreams

And you need some loving care,

And nothing, nothing is going right,

Close your eyes and think of me…”

Nightwish cover The Phantom of the Opera from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical of the same name.

(My wife who is a big musical theatre fan, on hearing this, says that just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should.)

For #JukeboxFridayNight, wondering #WhatIf I Was a Punk Rocker in the 1960s or ’70s:

“I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair,

In ’77 and ’69 revolution was in the air,

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care,

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.”

Sandi Thom – I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker

Venus in Furs – The Velvet Underground

“Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Comes in bells, your servant, don’t forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart…”

At the end of Nightingale Place in Ōtautahi there’s a very small public reserve called Berkeley Green. Whoever named it must have been familiar with this old song, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, in this case performed by Vera Lynn.
