Sorry about that. I am technologically challenged; in fact I have managed to turn my desktop screen sideways and have sent to my computer guru for help, as I have pressed every button in sight to no avail.

Indeed Faure's "In Paradisium" is heavenly.
![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif) But if we are talking about heavenly things,
The golden evening brightens in the west,
soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Commonly known to organists who play it as "Pom For All The Saints" (because there's a big POM! before the congregation come in).
So from a Pom song to an Aussie one...

and speaking of tall trees, and the mighty gum, did you know there was an Aussie Group called Red Gum? as for me:
"Give me a home amongst the gum trees
with lots of plum trees [ 2+ lines] ....and an old rocking chair."
Used as the theme for a long running Gardening Program called Burke's Backyard. Said eponymous Burke is now under scrutiny for nastiness.
But the song lives on.
Oh by the way, I am now right side up!

'Give me a home among the gum trees' would be followed by (if successful) a Move.

Avoiding the temptation of a million songs with the word 'Baby' in them. That would just be putting Baby in a corner, and nobody does that.
I've Had the Time of my Life
(Incidentally, I once saw one of those 'Top 30 movie quotes' TV programmes on German TV when I was in a Dusseldorf hotel. In German, the famous quote is "Mein Baby gehoert zu mir" - "My baby belongs to me". Um ... not quite so iconic!)

Hard Times, by Charles Dickens, features the annoyingly saintly Stephen Blackpool.
Hence a song about The Blackpool Belle
