My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Cry Freedom and enjoy the glories of London's Freedom Pass - free travel on buses, trains, underground overground and docklands light railway (&trams!). Written in joyous ZZTop meets Hawkwind style (set to speeded up clips of travel on London's network on Youtube). It's worth getting old for! (steady on...)
Lyrics
01 Freedom (Pass) (3.34) D7 Take me on a bus or take me on a train E7 Overground or underground it’s all just the same F#7 A7 But no matter where you take - don’t try to ask me for the fare C7 D7 Cos now I’ve got my freedom - I can travel anywhere F G D I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom Well I can go as far as Hampton Court on British Rail But if I stick to locasl buses you know It’ll never fail Throw my car keys away now, I got release That’s the last speeding ticket I’ll pay to the traffic police I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom You know I’ve done my share of giving , of tax I’ve payed a lot So be it Ken or Boris, it ain’t never gonna stop Cos of all that silver power, giving them the votes Maybe they’ll extend it onto the river boats I got my my freedom, freedom - I got my my freedom…freedom pass
