Текст песни Spotting on Top of Blackpool Tower - George Formby

We must do our duty nowadays, and fire spotting happens to be mine
For when the warden said "Old man get high
Up if you can", I told him that suited me fine
And I go spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
When the evening shadows fall
There you′ll find me hour after hour
While seagulls up above drop messages of love
We must keep on watching, we're going to win you bet
Though luxuries are scarcer and maybe hard to get
But I′ve seen lots of articles they haven't rationed yet
While spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
Spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
When the evening shadows fall
There you'll find me hour after hour
While seagulls up above drop messages of love
Down there on the sandhills I hear the happy throng
One girl with her boyfriend kept bursting into song
But later on she sang, "Oh Lord you made the night too long"
While spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
Spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
When the evening shadows fall
There you′ll find me hour after hour
While seagulls up above drop messages of love
I had a fellow worker, he said "This job′s a gift"
But when the siren sounded you should have seen him shift
He shot down fourteen floors and found he'd gone without the lift
While spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
Spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
When the evening shadows fall
There you′ll find me hour after hour
While seagulls up above drop messages of love
One girl came to help me, her name was Mary Hope
She said she'd spot the fires and get to know the dope
But all she did was fiddle with the little telescope
While spotting on the top of Blackpool Tower
