My friend John Dike has sent me a large selection of images of his old Torquay postcard collection. I am going to use the images to make a video for one of my Torbay songs. Originally I was going to use one of the songs from the Torbay Pageant albums but then I decided to write a new song based around the images of the postcards.
Postcards of Torquay
John's postcards that he sent to me
Scenes of a past time of that town by the sea
Postcards of Torquay that he sent to me
Scenes of a past time of that town by the sea
Quaint little Anstey's cove
A tranquil treasure trove
With picnics and hot tea
A little house there by the sea
John's postcards that he sent to me
Scenes of a past time of that town by the sea
Postcards of Torquay that he sent to me
Scenes of a past time of that town by the sea
The gardens in Torquay
Such a lovely sight to see
With picnics and hot tea
Beneath a fine palm tree
There's no time to write letters
So postcards must do
Oh no time to write letters
Oh which one should I send to you
Pleasure boats for hire
If you so desire
Then picnic and hot tea
In Torbay by the sea
