I [G] wonder if when they say that, you say [C] that, you care if you say you [G] love me madly,
I can't [C] leave you there like a [G] puppy.
That's not my house.
Oh wow.
My mum would have loved that.
She always wanted a porch.
It's been 50 years since I've been in this place.
It's a bit nerve-wracking and my stomach's churning a bit.
So, here's the front room.
Oh yes, cosy, nice and warm.
Moving into this house was a big deal for my parents.
They'd saved up so long to buy it.
[C] My dad had been working as a welder and my mum [G] always worked in an [C] office.
The gramophone was here and I used to sit here every Sunday [D] afternoon
listening [G] to Pickers Pops, Glamour Freeman.
You know Pop Pickers, what other groups are having it all [C] the way?
The guy next door used to wear leathers and have a motorbike on.
He was much older than me and he [Db] had [G] big blue eyes and [Eb] sleek back.
And he used to let me go in and listen to his rock and roll records.
People like Gene [E] Vincent.
[Db] So, this is the room where I went on strike.
I decided when I was early teens to put away all girly things.
I'd paint everything white, there was no pink things at all, nothing frilly.
That's what really started me into thinking,
I think girls can do something a bit different.
[G] Why are we being limited?
Why are there only girls in this room?
Why aren't there any boys bands?
Why aren't there any girls singing?
So this germ of an idea started happening.
I used to ask when we went out to dance halls,
I'd ask the bands if I could come up and sing with them.
And that's where I sort of trained.
[G] So this is [D] my wonderful old [C] school Robert Clack.
This is my maths class, I'm going to go in there now.
Hello!
Long time no see!
Yes!
Now, I remember you really well,
and I wonder whether you remember my class.
[Abm] You were in class 3D.
[Db] I could describe them [G] as the most difficult for me
in the 33 years I was Robert Clack.
There was rioting from time to time.
The other teachers I remember really well [D] were Mr Jones,
because without [C] him I couldn't have started recording in French.
I was amazed when I realised that you did record in various languages.
Yes, all thanks to Robert [G] Clack.
By school.
[D] On se retrouve tous [F] les soirs,
[C] on est heureux de se voir,
[G] et moi je me dis toujours pour vous,
[C] pour vous que ça dure.
[G] [D] This was the iconic Ilford Pally.
[Bb] One time there was a talent contest on here,
[N] but I only came second.
However, there was a guy there who said,
my uncle's in [Bbm] show business,
I'd like you to go up to London to meet him.
[Dm] My mum and dad didn't [A] know it,
until I suddenly [F] announced that I'd been discovered.
They [Dm] were totally and utterly shocked at Alessandra.
of
[C] the streets surrounded,
and it's just as always in this part of the town
All that [N] time, one of my big things was that I sang barefoot.
It was because I [Fm] knew where I came from,
and it was a reminder of the sort of rags to riches Cinderella story.
I [G] don't think essentially I've [B] actually changed that [C] much.
[D] I'm still really coming from the same place,
and singing from the same hymn book.
That's [Ab] what I've learned from this journey.
[Bb] [Eb]
I can't [C] leave you there like a [G] puppy.
