Cracker Night - John Williams[00:00:00]
Teary eyes at the window [00:00:07]
Where did Mum and Dad go [00:00:10]
I wish someone would hurry up[00:00:12]
And come and get me [00:00:14]
Gee I'm scared[00:00:14]
The cat shot through [00:00:18]
She saw the light and fled [00:00:19]
Cracker night was a real big deal [00:00:23]
When I was a little kid[00:00:26]
They started lettin' them off[00:00:29]
After tea I ran inside and hid[00:00:30]
And all the dogs from everywhere[00:00:34]
Were underneath me bed [00:00:36]
We all went down in our dressing gowns[00:00:41]
To see the big bonfire[00:00:43]
Wide eyes watched the straw man burn[00:00:46]
On a mile-high pile of tyres[00:00:48]
Hot as hell big black smell[00:00:51]
And red hot rings of wire [00:00:54]
Sky rockets zinging [00:00:59]
Catherine wheels spinning [00:01:01]
What a flamin' evening [00:01:04]
Fire trucks were screaming[00:01:07]
Smoky haze hangin' round for days[00:01:09]
And Grandma's ears were ringing [00:01:12]
Everynight after school draggin' bits of wood [00:01:16]
Boxes and branches and rotten old fences [00:01:21]
And mattresses were good [00:01:24]
We even scrounged a vinyl lounge[00:01:27]
And anything we could[00:01:29]
Little Guy Fawkes's and letter boxes[00:01:33]
Blown all out of shape[00:01:36]
Light the wick and back off quick [00:01:39]
And make the big escape[00:01:41]
Cackin' ourselves and rippin' my shirt[00:01:44]
Scrambling through the gate[00:01:46]
Sky rockets zinging[00:01:51]
Catherine wheels spinning[00:01:54]
What a flamin' evening[00:01:56]
Fire trucks were screaming[00:01:59]
Smoky haze hangin' round for days[00:02:01]
And Grandma's ears were ringing [00:02:04]
A house burnt down on the edge of town[00:02:08]
We all took off with Pa[00:02:10]
This thing whizzed across the road[00:02:13]
And nearly hit our car[00:02:16]
A bang and spark lit up the park[00:02:18]
And everyone went[00:02:21]
Cracker night was a real big deal [00:02:28]
When I was a little kid [00:02:30]
It seems like only yesterday[00:02:33]
Tucked away in bed[00:02:36]
Dreams of schemes and double bunger[00:02:38]
Daring things we did[00:02:41]
