Ben
Vocals by Michael Jackson(or is it Anton)
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With the friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
I used to say
I and me
Now it's us
Now it's we
I used to say
I and me
Now it's us
Now it's we
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
Like Ben...like Ben...
Like Ben...like Ben.....
webmaster: I recently wrote to Anton informing him of this page, here's his reply..
You rotten sod Mr Holden.....I had a look at the new page, I must admit though, I haven't heard
that song for years!
OK, I give in, I'll send some pictures ASAP before you start receiving hate mail about the new page.
I've had a couple from Keith Rutter (ex-classmate) of him in the old uniform, so I'll get that sorted for you.
In answer
to your question about that fateful day that led me on the road to fame and fortune (although I missed a turning and de-railed
some time after) the female trio in question, if memory serves were, Sonia Galloway, Lorraine Cheshire and Carol, who's surname
escapes me ( I could be wrong but that's my best guess) I seem to remember that they mimed and danced to 'Locomotion' does
that ring any bells? Mr Moore did indeed play the guitar for my particular stint.
It started when they announced
the 'Talent contest' (a contradiction in terms where I was concerned!) Myself and a lad called Ray Worral decided to do a
stand up routine, however, Ray subsequently changed his mind, and
before you could say bubbles the chimp, I found myself
agreeing to sing! I never quite worked out how Mr Moore pulled that one off, but it was worth it to pick up the winners
prize of a box of Roses!
On the big day, and after having worn out several hairbrushes doubling as microphones for private
rehearsals, I had to call on my pal Tim Martin for the loan of a pair of very trendy trousers to wear for the duration.
No-one
was more surprised than I was to win, I had the feeling that when everyone started laughing I was going to have to fall back
on my comedy routine (minus partner Ray, the deserter) but to my amazement, nobody did.
And the rest as they say, is infamy!!

Now thats what i call a story, I'm currently chasing other people that may be able to contribute
to this page, watch this space!!
