Neil ---- The Pikehands ---- Meet up every year
Bryan ---- To drink some ---- Whisky and some beer
Bob ---- We've been to ---- Wales, we've been to France
Neil ---- We never ---- leave a thing to chance
Alan ---- We've been to ---- Kent and Nottingham
Nick ---- But this year ---- we were in a jam
Matt ---- There wasn't ---- any place to go
Pete ---- So Pete said ---- "There's a spot that I know"

Go North, to Nottinghamshire
North, where the air is clear
North, where they sell cheap beer
North, Sal and Pete live here

Gra ---- The party ---- lets our family
Tim ---- Continue ---- as it likes to be
Rich ---- We eat and ---- drink just what we like
Jeff ---- We play games ---- we present the Pike
Pete ---- In Sidcup ---- we always got the best
Nick ---- But this year ---- Nick and Val can rest
Neil ---- We'll throw our ---- families in the car
Pete ---- And travel ---- very, very far

Far North, to Nottinghamshire
North, where the air is clear
North, where they sell cheap beer
North, Sal and Pete live here

End of the day --- set the senses free --- By Alan

Sitting - in the evening time
Drinking beer, sipping wine
Musing on the day -
What's been happening, what passed your way

Setting sun - horizon glows
Shadows stalking trees in rows
Fading sky of cadmium hue
Darkness falls with evening dew

This is as it should be
Close the day in good company

Quietly talking amongst ourselves
Unravelling our thoughts, our inner selves
Revelations bloom,
Intrigue rises with the moon

This is as it should be
Close the day in harmony

Blow out the candle flame
Close the door, cast no blame
Snuggle into the night
Rise with songbirds in morning light

This is as it should be
Beckon the day, set the senses free
