another one about Longbenton. FYI, Joe 90 was an animated puppet with specs popular in the 1960s. These days, he'd fit right in on Big Bang Theory.

lyrics

Round here you hear the sirens more often than ice-cream vans. After a while it's reassuring in a scary sort of way. Oh, look! there's an aeroplane flashing a semaphore "0" like a curse, high above the empty shopping centre car park. I lit a candle for you, woke up in the dark. It's nothing dramatic, it's just that I was raised to be Joe 90, and there were never any women like you in his brainy little adventures.
