0:25:49 > 0:25:52# A fella whose fame did resound through every village and town
0:25:52 > 0:25:54# For fun, for frolic and whim
0:25:54 > 0:25:56# None ever was equal to him
0:25:56 > 0:25:58# Arthur being stout and bold
0:25:58 > 0:26:00# And near upon 30 years old
0:26:00 > 0:26:02# He needs a-wooing must go
0:26:02 > 0:26:04# To get him a lady, you know
0:26:04 > 0:26:06# So getting young Dolly's consent
0:26:06 > 0:26:07# Away to be married they went
0:26:07 > 0:26:09# To make himself noble appear
0:26:09 > 0:26:12# He mounted the old padded mare

0:26:16 > 0:26:20# Or hear a true story of old Attend to what I do unfold
0:26:20 > 0:26:23# So he packed up his drudgery hose
0:26:23 > 0:26:24# And put on his holiday clothes
0:26:24 > 0:26:28# His coat it was scarlet so fine Full trimmed with buttons behind
0:26:28 > 0:26:30# Two sleeves it had, it is true
0:26:30 > 0:26:32# One yellow, the other was blue

0:26:41 > 0:26:43# With a strip from an old cow's hide
0:26:43 > 0:26:45# His breeches three times had been turned
0:26:45 > 0:26:47# And two holes in the left side were burned
0:26:47 > 0:26:49# This was a misfortune, you'll say
0:26:49 > 0:26:51# Still he looked gallant and gay
0:26:51 > 0:26:52# Thus kitted away he did ride
0:26:53 > 0:26:54# While Dolly did trudge by his side
0:26:54 > 0:26:56# And coming up to the church door
0:26:56 > 0:26:58# Amid five thousand or more
0:26:58 > 0:27:00# Then from the old mare he did 'light
0:27:00 > 0:27:02# Which put the old clerk in a fright
0:27:02 > 0:27:04# And the parson so dreadfully shook
0:27:04 > 0:27:06# That he presently dropped down his book
0:27:06 > 0:27:08# Which Arthur soon picked up again
0:27:08 > 0:27:09# And swore that he must now begin
0:27:09 > 0:27:12# Crying, “Dolly, my dearie, come hither
0:27:12 > 0:27:14# "And let us be married together"

0:27:30 > 0:27:32# To make him a little amends
0:27:32 > 0:27:34# He invited him home with his friends
0:27:34 > 0:27:36# Take a sweet kiss on the bride
0:27:36 > 0:27:38# And eat a good dinner beside
0:27:38 > 0:27:40# The dishes though few were good
0:27:40 > 0:27:42# The sweetest of all living food
0:27:42 > 0:27:44# There was roast guinea pig and a bantam
0:27:44 > 0:27:46# Sheep's head stewed in a lanthorn

0:27:57 > 0:27:59# Who were so well pleased with the treat

0:28:16 > 0:28:18# Brought pale ale, perkin and perry

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Moving on now to something very special for the 15th anniversary,
0:38:42 > 0:38:45thelaunch of the Folk Awards Hall of Fame.Each year,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49we'll be honouring somebody whose significant contribution
0:38:49 > 0:38:52has made a lasting impression on the world of folk,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56and our first inductee is a man whose contribution to traditional music
0:38:56 > 0:39:00and dance hasbeen quite remarkable.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Cecil Sharp was born in 1859.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Though a teacher by trade, it was his personal vocation
0:39:06 > 0:39:09as a folk song collector that became his life's passion.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12He travelled from village to village on his bicycle, seeking out
0:39:12 > 0:39:16source singers and writing down the music and the words
0:39:16 > 0:39:17to songs that, until then,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20had been passed on only through the oral tradition.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23In 1911, he founded the English Folk Dance Society
0:39:23 > 0:39:27for the promotion of traditional dance, and in 1932,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30it became the English Folk Dance and Song Society which,
0:39:30 > 0:39:35to this day, has had its headquarters in Camden's Cecil Sharp House.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39He passed away in 1924, leaving behind an amazing
0:39:39 > 0:39:43collection of almost 5,000 songs and tunes collected in Britain
0:39:44 > 0:39:45and in North America.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49So, now,we present a rather special tribute, featuring music,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51song and dance from Sharp's collection
0:39:51 > 0:39:55and a portrayal of the man himself in his own words.

0:40:45 > 0:40:51Is this Somerset? This collecting lark can be very wearing.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Yes, I sometimes spend a whole day toiling along on my trusty bicycle
0:40:55 > 0:40:58to trace a singer or dancer of whom I've heard,
0:40:58 > 0:41:03to find him perhaps only a few miles from where I had first started.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08I tell you, I'm not likely to have many competitorsat this job.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11But there are compensations. Oh, yes.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I have made many friends, whom I value,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16and have had more than a few adventures.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20One Christmas, I was noting songs by phonograph
0:41:21 > 0:41:23from a gypsy woman in her caravan.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Suddenly, she stopped singing and announced thatshe heard
0:41:27 > 0:41:31herhusband approaching, and he was of a jealous disposition.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Well, I flung open the caravan door and shouted tothe man,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40"A happy Christmas to you. Stop a moment and listen.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44"I have your wife's voice here in a box."
0:41:44 > 0:41:47The man stopped and listened to the record of his wife's song
0:41:47 > 0:41:53and was so amazed and delighted, that we became good friends. Hmm.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56And to think all this started for me
0:41:56 > 0:42:00when I heardThe Seeds of Love sung in a garden.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07# I sowed the seeds of love
0:42:07 > 0:42:13# And I sowed them in the spring
0:42:13 > 0:42:18# I gathered them up in the morning so soon
0:42:18 > 0:42:22# As the small birds do sweetly sing
0:42:22 > 0:42:29# As the small birds do sweetly sing
0:42:29 > 0:42:34# My garden was planted well
0:42:34 > 0:42:40# With flowers everywhere
0:42:40 > 0:42:44# But I had not the liberty to choose for myself
0:42:44 > 0:42:50# The flowers that I loved so dear
0:42:50 > 0:42:56# The flowers that I loved so dear
0:42:56 > 0:43:01# Oh, the gardener was standing by
0:43:01 > 0:43:06# And I asked him to choose for me
0:43:06 > 0:43:11# He chose me the violet, the lily and the pink
0:43:11 > 0:43:16# But these, I refused all three
0:43:16 > 0:43:23# But these, I refused all three. #

0:43:29 > 0:43:32Iwent collecting in America.
0:43:32 > 0:43:37Hmm, in the Appalachians, good roads were scarce, or nonexistent.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41They were for the most part rough tracks over the mountain passes
0:43:41 > 0:43:42or along the creeks.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46Wherever possible, the faithful Maud and I walked,
0:43:46 > 0:43:48although this was often a tiring business
0:43:48 > 0:43:52when it meant a tramp of 15 or 16 miles in great heat
0:43:52 > 0:43:58over a track so rough that it was necessary to pick out every footstep.
0:43:58 > 0:44:04But I can recall a wonderful evening at Pine Mountain, Kentucky
0:44:04 > 0:44:06on a back porch.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10It was after dark and we had but one dim lantern with us,
0:44:10 > 0:44:14but the moon streamed fitfully in and illuminated the dancers
0:44:14 > 0:44:17and the crowd of onlookers who encircled them.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20And when the excitement rose to fever heat,
0:44:20 > 0:44:24the scene presented a strange, weird picture.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27The visual effect heightened by the clappings and the stampings
0:44:27 > 0:44:31of the patters, the tramp of the dancers,
0:44:31 > 0:44:33the room was full of rhythm.
0:44:39 > 0:44:46Folk dancing was introduced to the Armyin May 1917.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49It was extraordinarily difficult to know how to begin.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53You see, no-one would learn until he had seen the dance
0:44:53 > 0:44:57andthere were not numbers enough to show it him.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00Miss Daking, who was responsible for starting things off,
0:45:00 > 0:45:04began with a Northumbrian sword dance.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Number five danced it through with an amputated toe
0:45:07 > 0:45:13and a new boot, number three sat down looking pale and shiny,
0:45:13 > 0:45:16a heart-case, but the thing went.
0:45:16 > 0:45:22Men came in slowly, a paper and comb provided the music.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Eventually, the English Folk Dance Society sent out more people to teach
0:45:26 > 0:45:30and displays were put on with squads of men dancing
0:45:30 > 0:45:32and a band playing.
0:45:32 > 0:45:38In fact, it became the most popular sideshow in France.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29Went down quite well!
0:58:29 > 0:58:31LAUGHTER
0:58:31 > 0:58:34And so, we move on to our second Lifetime Achievement Award
0:58:34 > 0:58:38of the evening and we're delighted to have with us
0:58:38 > 0:58:42to present this award, a man of diverse and considerable talents.
0:58:42 > 0:58:47Having been, at various times, let's see, pop star, author,
0:58:47 > 0:58:526 Music DJ - some of the good guys - cultural curator
0:58:52 > 0:58:55and guest editor of the Today programme.
0:58:55 > 0:58:57With his band, Pulp,
0:58:57 > 0:58:59known by the disco fraternity
0:58:59 > 0:59:01as The Shabby Chic,
0:59:01 > 0:59:05he staked a claim for entry into the pantheon of rock legend
0:59:05 > 0:59:09when Glastonbury embraced Common People as its anthem in '95 and just
0:59:09 > 0:59:13a few months later, he rubber stamped that status with an infamous,
0:59:13 > 0:59:18cheeky stage invasion at... What's that other thing that they do?
0:59:18 > 0:59:22Erm, oh, the Brit Awards, that's it.
0:59:23 > 0:59:27Hopefully, tonight, with his kecks emphatically belted,
0:59:27 > 0:59:30please welcome Jarvis Cocker!
0:59:30 > 0:59:33APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:59:45 > 0:59:47Thank you.
0:59:47 > 0:59:49Hello.
0:59:49 > 0:59:50LAUGHTER
0:59:50 > 0:59:54I'm here to present a Lifetime Achievement Award, erm,
0:59:54 > 0:59:57and this person...you probably... actually, I was thinking,
0:59:57 > 0:59:59"Oh, we can make it, like, you know, a mystery."
0:59:59 > 1:00:02But it's printed in the programme, so, you know who it is.
1:00:02 > 1:00:03LAUGHTER
1:00:03 > 1:00:06But this person has been mentioned a lot already tonight, erm,
1:00:06 > 1:00:11and so I think that shows what an influential person he is.
1:00:11 > 1:00:15I was just involved in a book called "Singing From the Floor",
1:00:15 > 1:00:18which is like a history of folk clubs in the UK.
1:00:18 > 1:00:23This is all told in the voices of the people who were part of it
1:00:23 > 1:00:24and his is the first voice.
1:00:24 > 1:00:29So, that shows you, people, they bandy those words around,
1:00:29 > 1:00:30don't they?
1:00:30 > 1:00:34Pivotal, legendary, all that, they get used a bit too often,
1:00:34 > 1:00:40but I think we can say, this person is a pivotal and legendary person.
1:00:40 > 1:00:44Now, I also know that he'll probably be embarrassed to be called that.
1:00:44 > 1:00:50That's the other aspect that makes somebody a true legend,
1:00:50 > 1:00:52they don't let you know about it.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55You know, they're not going, "I'm legendary, me!"
1:00:55 > 1:00:56LAUGHTER
1:00:56 > 1:00:59"I'm fantastic!"
1:00:59 > 1:01:02Erm, I can say his name, can't I?
1:01:02 > 1:01:04Martin Carthy, right...
1:01:04 > 1:01:06CHEERING
1:01:07 > 1:01:09..will be familiar to all of you here.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15I've had the pleasure of working with him quite recently.
1:01:15 > 1:01:20Back in October I was involved in a thing, Bright Phoebus, it was called.
1:01:20 > 1:01:24I was very nervous about it, approaching a legendary folk album.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26What the hell are they having me on the stage
1:01:26 > 1:01:28there involved with that?!
1:01:28 > 1:01:31And I got to view Mr Carthy's working methods up close
1:01:31 > 1:01:36and how he makes you feel, erm, safe and welcome.
1:01:36 > 1:01:40And I'm sure that many, many people in the folk world have benefited
1:01:40 > 1:01:46from his, erm, guiding hand, but it's not applied like that.
1:01:46 > 1:01:50So, I know there's a lot of people in this building,
1:01:50 > 1:01:54but I think you need a bit of exercise.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57I think what I'd like you to do is,
1:01:57 > 1:02:01pray, all be upstanding for Mr Martin Carthy.
1:02:01 > 1:02:04APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
1:02:29 > 1:02:31Wow! There's a lot of you.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35Thank you.
1:02:36 > 1:02:38Thank you very much.
1:02:39 > 1:02:45I'm actually really very, very happy to have this happen. It's fabulous!
1:02:45 > 1:02:49And it also gives me a chance to wear this shirt.
1:02:49 > 1:02:51Thank you very much.
1:02:52 > 1:02:56Erm, I mean, it's been quite a long time
1:02:56 > 1:03:00but I've had a lot of great teachers on the way
1:03:00 > 1:03:04and it's amazing how many of them were fiddlers.
1:03:04 > 1:03:07Erm, there was Dave Swarbrick, there was Peter Knight,
1:03:07 > 1:03:09and there was Eliza.
1:03:09 > 1:03:11And they've got one thing in common
1:03:11 > 1:03:14and that is that they're all bonkers!
1:03:14 > 1:03:15LAUGHTER
1:03:15 > 1:03:18Erm, and there's nothing like playing next to somebody who's
1:03:18 > 1:03:23completely bonkers, cos you've got to just keep up and have a good time.
1:03:23 > 1:03:26It's a great learning experience.
1:03:26 > 1:03:30I mean, to have played with some of the people I've had a chance
1:03:30 > 1:03:35to play with, like this gent, has been absolutely wonderful!
1:03:35 > 1:03:39Cos they just reveal more of a song than perhaps you knew was there.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41It's extraordinary!
1:03:41 > 1:03:46Erm, I had, quite late on in musical life,
1:03:46 > 1:03:49I think I came to be
1:03:49 > 1:03:53much closer to The Watersons, for obvious reasons, I married Norma.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57She is probably the best teacher of the lot!
1:03:57 > 1:04:00And she's sitting at home now,
1:04:00 > 1:04:04watching this on red button and throwing things at the television...
1:04:04 > 1:04:05I know she is.
1:04:05 > 1:04:07"Oh, shut up!" She's saying.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
1:04:09 > 1:04:11There you are, Norma, that's for you.
1:04:13 > 1:04:16Thank you very much indeed, I'm a very happy man.
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Thank you, thank you!
1:04:19 > 1:04:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

1:07:36 > 1:07:42# My love has listed all for to serve the King
1:07:42 > 1:07:47# Thewind blow high and the wind blow low
1:07:47 > 1:07:52# And it parted me from my young sailor boy
1:07:52 > 1:07:57# Oh father, father, will you build me a boat
1:07:57 > 1:08:03# That on the cold ocean I may float?
1:08:03 > 1:08:07# And every King's ship that we pass by
1:08:07 > 1:08:13# I'll make enquiries for my sailor boy
1:08:13 > 1:08:18# They hadn't been a-sailing so very far upon the deep
1:08:18 > 1:08:23# When did her first King's ship she chanced to meet
1:08:23 > 1:08:29# Captain, captain, please tell me true
1:08:29 > 1:08:34# Does my sweet William sail on board with you?
1:08:34 > 1:08:39# What colour is your true love's hair?
1:08:39 > 1:08:44# What sort of jacket does your true love wear?
1:08:44 > 1:08:49# His jacket's blue, it's piped round with gold
1:08:49 > 1:08:55# And his hair, it is the same colour as yours
1:09:17 > 1:09:22# Oh, no, fair lady, I'm afraid he isn't here
1:09:22 > 1:09:27# For he's been drownded, that I greatly fear
1:09:27 > 1:09:32# On yon green ocean as we passed by
1:09:32 > 1:09:38# There we lost sight of your young William boy
1:09:38 > 1:09:43# Did she wring her hands a little while and tore her hair
1:09:43 > 1:09:48# Just like some maiden in great despair
1:09:48 > 1:09:53# Oh happy, happy is the girl, she cries
1:09:53 > 1:09:59# That has her own true lover by her side
1:09:59 > 1:10:04# Her father, he, he come home late at night
1:10:04 > 1:10:09# He's looking round for, for his heart's delight
1:10:09 > 1:10:13# He went upstairs and the door he broke
1:10:13 > 1:10:19# And he found her hanging by a rope
1:10:19 > 1:10:24# And didn't he take him a knife so long and sharp and cut her down
1:10:24 > 1:10:29# And in her bosom, well, a note was found
1:10:29 > 1:10:34# Been written in blood just to testify
1:10:34 > 1:10:40# That for her true love, William, she did die
1:10:40 > 1:10:44# Won't you dig me a grave so very wide, so very deep
1:10:44 > 1:10:49# Put a marble stone at, at my head and feet
1:10:49 > 1:10:55# And in the middle place, a snow-white dove
1:10:55 > 1:10:59# Just to let the world know
1:10:59 > 1:11:04# That I died for love. #

1:11:40 > 1:11:42APPLAUSE
1:11:42 > 1:11:43I thought so.
1:11:46 > 1:11:49But here's a surprise to finish with.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52On January 27th this year, the world said farewell

1:11:56 > 1:11:58CHEERS
1:11:58 > 1:12:01APPLAUSE
1:12:05 > 1:12:08Pete Seeger passed away aged 94.
1:12:09 > 1:12:12He came to prominencewith The Weavers in the 1950s,
1:12:12 > 1:12:15who toppedthe charts for an astonishing 13 weeks
1:12:15 > 1:12:17with a Lead Belly song, Goodnight Irene.
1:12:17 > 1:12:20He popularised We Shall Overcome,
1:12:20 > 1:12:25a song which became the anthem of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
1:12:25 > 1:12:29His songs, Where Have All The Flowers Gone?,If I Had A Hammer
1:12:29 > 1:12:34and Turn,Turn, Turn are known, loved and sung across the globe.
1:12:34 > 1:12:38He was the catalyst for what is now recognisedas a golden era of
1:12:38 > 1:12:40folkmusic, producing the likes of Bob Dylan,
1:12:40 > 1:12:43Peter, Paul and Mary, Phil Ochs and Joan Baez.
1:12:43 > 1:12:45He brought the world together,
1:12:45 > 1:12:48or at least attempted to do that, with his music.
1:12:48 > 1:12:51We can't think of a better way of paying tribute
1:12:51 > 1:12:55to this remarkable man than to join together andsing one of his songs.
1:12:55 > 1:12:57To lead us, on the song Quite Early Morning,
1:12:57 > 1:13:00it really does give me great pleasure to introduce
1:13:01 > 1:13:03a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist
1:13:04 > 1:13:07who has known Pete literally for all of her life
1:13:07 > 1:13:11and for whom this loss will be felt more deeply than by any of us.
1:13:11 > 1:13:15So, please welcomePete's sister, Peggy Seeger.
1:13:15 > 1:13:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:13:27 > 1:13:32I'd like to assume that that applause wasfor Pete as well.
1:13:32 > 1:13:35Now, you read about him on your last page of your book,
1:13:35 > 1:13:39so I won't say much about his history,it's too long,
1:13:39 > 1:13:42too complicated, too absolutely wonderful.
1:13:42 > 1:13:47My first time I ever saw him play was in a boxing ring with Lead Belly.
1:13:47 > 1:13:49They weren't boxing.
1:13:50 > 1:13:52He was teaching the audience
1:13:52 > 1:13:55and so what I'd like to do with this song is show you
1:13:55 > 1:13:59how he did that andhe expected you to jump to right away,
1:14:00 > 1:14:04no nagging,no begging, just sing, darn it!
1:14:04 > 1:14:05OK?
1:14:05 > 1:14:07So, here it is.
1:14:07 > 1:14:10I'll sing one line, you give it back to me.
1:14:10 > 1:14:12If my suspenders hold up long enough,
1:14:12 > 1:14:14we might have to sing it again, we shall see.
1:14:14 > 1:14:16LAUGHTER
1:14:16 > 1:14:20# We know it's darkest before the dawn... #
1:14:20 > 1:14:21Now you.
1:14:21 > 1:14:27# We know it's darkest before the dawn
1:14:27 > 1:14:31# The coming light keeps us moving on
1:14:31 > 1:14:37# The coming light keeps us moving on
1:14:37 > 1:14:41# We must heed the early warnings
1:14:41 > 1:14:46# We must heed the early warnings
1:14:46 > 1:14:51# The time is now quite early morning
1:14:51 > 1:14:56# The time is now quite early morning... #
1:14:56 > 1:14:58Repeat of those last two lines.
1:14:58 > 1:15:04# We must heed the early warnings
1:15:04 > 1:15:10# The time is now quite early morning
1:15:14 > 1:15:20# Some say that humankind won't long endure
1:15:20 > 1:15:25# They sound so sad They sound so sure
1:15:25 > 1:15:28# Stop your crying
1:15:28 > 1:15:31# It's time for singing
1:15:31 > 1:15:36# Make those morning bells go ringing... #
1:15:36 > 1:15:37Repeat.
1:15:37 > 1:15:42# Stop your crying It's time for singing
1:15:42 > 1:15:47# Make those morning bells go ringing... #
1:15:48 > 1:15:50Jeez, Pete would love to hear you!
1:15:51 > 1:15:57# And so we go, go on while we live
1:15:57 > 1:16:02# Until we have no, no more to give
1:16:02 > 1:16:08# And when our fingers can play no longer
1:16:08 > 1:16:14# Give the old banjo to someone stronger
1:16:14 > 1:16:20# And when our fingers can play no longer
1:16:20 > 1:16:26# Give the old banjo to someone stronger
1:16:27 > 1:16:33# We know it's darkest before the dawn
1:16:33 > 1:16:38# The coming light keeps us moving on
1:16:38 > 1:16:44# We must heed the early warnings

1:16:55 > 1:17:02# The time is now quite early morning
1:17:02 > 1:17:08# So, though it's darkest before the dawn
1:17:08 > 1:17:11# Work together
1:17:11 > 1:17:14# Keep moving on
1:17:14 > 1:17:20# Through all this world of joy and sorrow
1:17:20 > 1:17:22# We still have hope
1:17:22 > 1:17:26# Hope for tomorrow
1:17:26 > 1:17:31# Through all this world of joy and sorrow
1:17:31 > 1:17:34# We still have hope
1:17:34 > 1:17:37# Hope for tomorrow... #
1:17:39 > 1:17:44In his later years, I suppose that means thelast 20,
1:17:44 > 1:17:48cos he died when he was 94, about three weeks ago,
1:17:48 > 1:17:51he'd lost most of his voice,
1:17:51 > 1:17:54he'd lost most of his memory.
1:17:55 > 1:17:57And he'd lost a lot of his hearing.
1:17:57 > 1:18:03Now, that man could stand here and start a song that he knew you knew
1:18:03 > 1:18:09and he'd get you to sing it without him, cos he couldn't do it any more.
1:18:09 > 1:18:11So, let's do a Pete Seeger on this one,
1:18:11 > 1:18:13you're going to singthis by yourselves.
1:18:15 > 1:18:21# We know it's darkest before the dawn... #
1:18:21 > 1:18:22Louder.
1:18:22 > 1:18:25# The coming light keeps us moving on... #
1:18:25 > 1:18:27Louder yet.
1:18:27 > 1:18:32# We must heed the early warnings
1:18:33 > 1:18:38# The time is now quite early morning
1:18:38 > 1:18:43# We must heed the early warnings
1:18:43 > 1:18:49# The time is now quite early morning... #
1:18:49 > 1:18:52Do we have time for another one, another chorus?
1:18:52 > 1:18:58# We know it's darkest before the dawn
1:18:58 > 1:19:03# The coming light keeps us moving on... #
1:19:03 > 1:19:04Wonderful.
1:19:04 > 1:19:09# We must heed the early warnings
1:19:09 > 1:19:14# The time is now quite early morning
