Ealing - Tony Matthews: Your Composer of Note

Ealing is a place so fine

And lives at the end of the Central Line

A line of power, a line of dread!

A line that on the map, is red

The glory, that is all but seen

Is shared, with patience, with the green

This is the way! it's all but licked!

The line that is the out-town district

Red and green go side by side

To the place that's fat and wide

For Ealing trains by night and day

Are terminated, at the wide Broadway.

All is good!, Oh Ealing hail

You're also shared with British Rail

So many ways to suburb's air

So many ways.... for those who dare!!!

[Tony Matthews 2002]
