There are Books

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.

There are books for your leisure ,
There are books for the life that you
lead,
there are books to bring pleasure,
there are books that are easy to read
There are books for your vacation ,
there are books that you don't know
you need,
there are books for education,
there are books that you just have to
read
There are books for your memories,
there are books for the person you'll
be,
there are books you'll share with
children,
there are books that you'll just love to
read.
There are books for your sadness,
there are books for your hopes and
your dreams,
there are books for your madness,
there are books that you just want to
read
There are books yeah
Isaac Asimov, Gore Vidal, Penelope
Fitzgerald, Kate Atkinson, John Le
Carre, Mick Herron, Laurence Block,
Daphne Du Maurier, Virginia Woolf,
J .K.Rowling, Isabell Allende, John
Steinbeck, Victoria Whitehead,
Harper Lee.
There are books when you're broken,
there are books when you're down
on your knees,
there are books that are spoken,
these are books that you don't have
to read
There are books for your romance,
there are books when your love's just
a seed,
there are books for a slow dance,
there are books that you'll both want
to read
There are books yeah
