It's such a magical place

This track was conceived as a celebration about the delights of the Weymouth and Portland area and it’s been deliberately recorded in the style of a busking ‘one man band’ (it’s quite different from John’s usual musical style) and it has a lovely happy holiday feel to it. The lyrics try hard to capture what’s special about Weymouth for instance, “bobbing yachts and lots of pots on the Lobster Fishermans boats, Oh it’s such a magical place”. Weymouth has something going on all the year round (there are Donkeys on the Beach, even on sunny February weekends!) and many festivals and outdoor music events hence the line “when music hits the Quay it puts a smile on your face” .. in a nutshell … “take a trip down South - we’re more than a Seaside Town”

Any time of the year

when you're feeling low, and down in the mouth

take a trip down South

we're more than a seaside town

Yo, we've got History here, there's cannon balls in the walls

and bobbing yachts 

and lots of pots

on the lobster fishermens boats

​

Oh it's such a magical place

when music hits the quay it puts a smile on your face

see the children beam with pride on the Donkey Rides

oh it's such a magical place

​

Yo, it's such a magical place

live music streams for Pubs all over the place

out in the bay where the sailors play

oh it's such a magical place.

​

it was the race that did for the Spanish Fleet

down to the Moonfleet Church where the smugglers meet

wave to the mulberry boys as they sail away

back to the sunshine beach where the children play

​

Yo,  Any time of the year

when you're feeling low, and down in the mouth

take a trip down South

we're more than a seaside town

Yo, we've got History  here, there's cannon balls in the walls

and bobbing yachts 

and lots of pots

on the lobster fishermens boats

​

and oh it's such a magical place

when music hits the quay it puts a smile on your face

see the children beam with pride on the Donkey Rides

oh it's such a magical place

​

Yo, it's such a magical place

live music streams for Pubs all over the place

out in the bay where the sailors play

oh it's magical

yo, it's  fantastical

woah, it's such a magical place.
