Let's Read a Book

from All Power to the Bookshop by Steve Roberts

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    All Power to the Bookshop, Steve's latest album, began as an Arts Council project about our relationship with books and reading. He explores how our memories, our hopes and dreams, our thoughts and emotional responses can be formed by the books we read and share. It’s an eclectic collection of songs that acts as propaganda for bookshops and reading.

    Wild and chaotic, capricious and frustrating, there are certain physical laws that govern secondhand bookshops and like gravity, they're pretty much nonnegotiable.

Let's Read A Book
I'll read a book, you'll read a book
W hen you read a book you're going
to find
pages of stories of every kind
when you read a book you'll fall in
love
with one then another and isn't it
good?
And so you'll read a book and I will
too
You'll share it with me and I'll share it
with you
W hen you read a book you step back
in time
Or visit the future all in your mind
And when you read a book a novel
idea
Takes root in your brain cells, it just
appears
W hen you read a book it can set off
your dreams
Inside a book the world is not as it
might seem to be.
I'll read a book, you'll read a book
Let's read a book turn off the phone
With thousands of words you are
never alone
Oh Let's read a book you know it
makes sense
So pick up a book and have fun with
some friends
You'll read a book and I will too
And I'll love it forever and I'm sure so
will you
You'll share it with me and I'll share it
with you
