The One Man Band

view map

High Street, Guildford.

Fun to see a one-man band in the street. It reminded me of the second record I ever bought - 'Rosie' by Don Partridge from 1968 :)

Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face up in the sky
Sometimes when I'm busy
Relaxing I'd look up and catch your eye

Your eyes when they're widening
Bring thunder and lightning
And sunset strokes the colour of your skin
Your eyes are so blue
I just think of a blue sky
And bumble bees buzzing on the wing

Rosie, oh Rosie
It's raining when you look the other way
Rosie, oh Rosie
Your laughter brings the sunshine out to play

And though I just met you
When I silhouetted you
A highlight golden shadow in your hair
I'd paint in your mind's eye
A vary of blue skies
Summer birds swinging through the air

Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd paint your face for all the world to see
Rosie, oh Rosie
I'd like to paint your face eternally

What a great thing to have about. Nothing like this on the streets here but then again, we have strange stuff not seen anywhere else....I love this fellow. Very talented, these guys. A great capture of him. I can almost hear the music and the sounds of the city. Excellent candid!
