Here in Devon
This is an alternative version to 'Tears in Heaven' by Eric Clapton. No disrespect intended, just something for amusement. Enjoy.....
No one knows your name
when you're stranded in Devon
things aren't quite the same
when you're stranded in Devon
I hear a sound
And start to frown
'Cause my car has broken down
Here in Devon
No one wants to know
If you're stranded in Devon
Worry starts to grow
Now I'm stranded in Devon
I'll find a way
Keep those cows away
'Cause they look like they want to play
Here in Devon
Time can break you down
Time can bend your knee
So I pull out my phone
and call the R.A.C
R.A.C
(Guitar Solo)
Beyond the moor
There's life I'm sure
And I can't take this no more
Here in Devon
Now the van I see
Rolling slowly through Devon
I made the call at 3
Now it's half past eleven
I must be strong
And carry on
Even though he took this long
Here in Devon
He says 'Good day'
I'm on my way
'Cause I just don't want to stay
Here in Devon

And what's wrong with "Glorious" Devon pray? Tiz proper yur me ansum. It's a lovely place to live. My nearest town (Great Torrington) holds an ancient May Fair celebration each year. In the town square they erect a huge banner across the road which reads "Uz be plaised to zee ee." And, guess what - they are too! Friendly people, beautiful rural environment (very few council estates :) what more could one ask?
