Town of The Unrising Sun (2024)


Words by Philip Brindley with Music adaptation by Woody Guthrie and whoever is up for it 😀

There is a town in Derbyshire 
They call the Unrising Sun. 
It's been the ruin of many a poor soul 
And me, thank God, I'm not one. 
 
If I'd listened to what mama said,  
I'd be at home today. 
Being so young and foolish, lucky boy 
I let ecstasy lead me astray . 
 
My mother she's a tailor, 
Sews those new blue jeans. 
My sweetheart, he's a raver, Good Lad 
We reved it up in every town. 
 
We filled our glasses with a rum and coke, 
Passed the E's around. 
We swilled them down one pill at a time 
Then rave from dusk to dawn. 
 
The only thing a pill head needs 
Is water and some space. 
The only time that he's not satisfied 
Is when the DJ’s drunk. 
 
Go and tell your baby sister  
Always do like I have done. 
Shun that town up in Derbyshire 
That they call The Unrising Sun. 
 
It's one foot on to the platform,  
Both hands in the air. 
I'm not going back down to Derbyshire 
To wear my ball and my chain. 
 
My life is almost over, 
My race is almost run. 
Going back down to Derbyshire  
To sort the town that never sees The Rising Sun. 


Woody Guthrie - House of the Rising Sun

The Importance of investigating when a manager tells you "I've met up with the 18-year-old males mother, who says it's fine for him to be in the disabled toilet with his 15 year old girl friend since she was 12"!

 Everyday scenarios you'll need to deal with, fully investigate  and solve in order to create a Utopic Society Imagine the scene, you are in the largest and grandest hotel within 25 miles and in pops out of the rain two teenagers that look like drowned rats. The 18-year-old male heads straight to the toilets whilst the 15-year-old girl goes through her almost daily routine over the past two and a half years of asking reception if she can use their phone to contact her mum for a lift home.  Everyone carries on as normal except for the person who knows he's going to be called by reception to deal with these two within the next 20 minutes, just like he has been on more than a handful of times over the past couple of years.  The male is told to use the men's toilet and not the disabled, whilst the girl is approached at reception and asked;  "Are you getting a room today? because if not you're barred for having sex in the toilets".  Obviously all hell broke loos...
