50th Anniversary Tour The drive to Leeds took longer than I thought A crash near Catterick barracks Slow going in weekday traffic A phone in with Nicky Campbell On the breaking Weinstein scandal Got 5Live producers on speed dial I call them up sometimes to ramble But not today No not today Off at junction 45 I nearly turned this story round Completed several indecisive Circuits of the roundabout But in the end I had to know Where this adventure would go Legs are shaking Pretty nervous The one-way ring road Makes my brain hurt As I approach Everything slows Everything slows At the show Still fairly early Get checked in and Get short shrift in The photo holding area From pro weirdos Sneering at my gear 'oh, We all started somewhere pal!' But as we're led through Felt like a hero Dad if you could only see me now You'd probably still be disappointed You'd probably still be disappointed I was starting to feel light-headed Not eaten since that pasty at Wetherby My legs and stomach feeling funny I managed a tea with sugar in it But the smells from the ovens The hot dogs and onions Anaemic chips and vinegar Knot up my lungs I'm doing it all for her I tell myself I'm doing this for her I'm doing this for her I'm doing it all for her I tell myself I'm doing this for her I'm doing this for her I'm doing this all for her Took a walk out There's no photographers pit like last time A more sedate and silver-haired crowd Rows and rows of red chairs Geriatrics tapping their programmes Pull my cap down Survey the crowd Clock Jean straight away In the spotlight like it's destiny There's no Mike Mike's not here She's brought her mum I knew they had fights But assumed he'd be here tonight It bodes well I've got three songs Been told don't be too intrusive Neil's a nice guy But doesn't like to be distracted The sound tech stuff's done I always liked her mum And she me It's destiny It's destiny I was first up Or I might have turned back The adrenalin kicked in When the band struck 'In My Lifetime' One short of 14 'til The great man strode in Second song was 'You Got Me' Made my move as it ended Up close Neil looked tired and wide-eyed But loving the crowd Took the note from my hand Catching himself by surprise Said 'well this is most unusual, But it is a special night I'll read out this special message I hope I get it right' I turn and take off my cap Crouch down in front of Jean As the real Neil Diamond Reads out my plea
