Belle Vue Blues Poem by Richard Thornton

We all get the blues
Even babies get the blues!
But not them nor you
Ever get or have got the blues
Like I do in Belle Vue

There used to be a zoo
A cinemas too
And all sorts of places that serve fast food
For a couple of slow burners like me and you

But now when you got to belle Vue
To view a film or get some food
They'll be nothing there except me and you
After a while you'll be crying too

You'll get a dash or a dose of the Belle Vue blues
A place full of ashes and ghosts
But it's not all bad news

If you need some Paint
Or need to be fed
There is a bad kebab shop
And a Glynn Webb
