14.Arthur (2:49)
A bit of a silly song about the HA Beford van which was my transport when I was at university. It’s probably as well that the van couldn’t talk!

Arthur
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
Dashing through the snow just like a chariot
O’er the fields we go where will he carry us
Look where we are, little bright car - take me away again
Wonder where he’s been, wonder where he’s going to
Wonder what he’s seen and what he’s going through
How can you be a part of me – take me away again
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
And when I have travelled many miles away from here
I remember all the smells and sounds that made you dear
And the stories that you made for me are music to my ears
Oh, Arthur live for ever let the people see that
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
You are riding on the highway roads appear beneath your wheels
Along the trunk and byways just look out no need to fear
Now that you fall in a Viking pall - take me away again
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
I’m a single man in a HA van that I call by the name of Arthur
And if you’re given half a chance, will you come along with me?
Will you come along, will you come along with me?
Me?
Come along, come along with me?
