I reckon I should be able to adapt this - wotcherfink?
Newport
Give me a song to sing about the place
And I will do my best to orchestrate it.
Draw me a picture of its homely face
And I will find a way to decorate it.
No-one likes Newport, probably because
It's always been defined by what it's not,
Compared with something that it never was
And classified by what it hasn't got.
I shall adopt the city's attitude -
Two fingers to the guidebook on the shelf -
And call upon St Woolos and St Jude
To show me how to make it sing itself.
Come in with me and I will take you through it.
It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it...
