It’s the first of December 
and I’m feeling a little down 
I should be on my way by now 
down to good old London Town

Last year I won some gig tickets 
along with a signed CD
It was good to have a date booked
in my empty diary 

But today I’m not on my way 
as I can no longer attend 
I’m not heading to London Town
to see that concert with my friend 

Everything happens for a reason 
and what will be will be 
So instead I am sitting here 
dunking biscuits in my tea 

I placed a post on Facebook
but no one has answered my plea 
For the tickets to go to a good home 
or to a charity

I put the kettle on again 
make another cup of tea 
I mope around and say to myself 
what will be will be

At that moment I remember 
I still have my signed CD
I play it on repeat 
whilst dunking more biscuits in my tea
