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.
