Name those tunes

It was significant, if I recall correctly, because they were playing that song at the dance Celia and Fred were at together earlier in the film.

The first song is "Just Like the Ivy (I'll Cling to You)", then, I think title is "Waiting at the Church". The character played by Patricia Roc is very much affected by this and she thinks of her husband David (Gordon Jackson) who has recently died on a bombing raid. In a very emotional moment, Megs Jenkins see this, smiles at her close friend, and gets her to join in the communal singing of the chorus...as the bombers fly overhead. A tremendous British film.

Just Like The Ivy (I'll Cling To You)

|: Just watch the ivy on that old garden wall
Clinging so tightly what e'er may befall;
As you grow older I'll be constant and true,
And just like the ivy I'll cling to you. :|

Clinging so tightly what e'er may befall;
As you grow older I'll be constant and true,
And just like the ivy I'll cling to you. :|


Waiting At The Church

'm in a nice bit of trouble, I confess;
Somebody with me has had a game.
I should by now be a proud and happy bride,
But I've still got to keep my single name.
I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks
In a very gentlemanly way;
Lent him all my money
So that he could buy a home,
And punctually at twelve o'clock to-day-

Chorus:
There was I, waiting at the church,
Waiting at the church, waiting at the church;
When I found he'd left me in the lurch.
Lor, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me round a note
Here's the very note, this is what he wrote:
"Can't get away to marry you today,
My wife, won't let me!"

Lor, what a fuss Obadiah made of me
When he used to take me in the park!
He used to squeeze me till I was black and blue,
When he kissed me he used to leave a mark.
Each time he met me he treated me to port,
Took me now and then to see the play;
Understand me rightly,
When I say he treated me,
It wasn't him but me that used to pay.

Just think how disappointed I must feel,
I'll be off me crumpet very soon.
I've lost my husband - the one I never had!
And I dreamed so about the honeymoon.
I'm looking out for another Obadiah,
I've already bought the wedding ring,
There's all my little fal-the-riddles
Packed up in my box
Yes, absolutely two of ev'rything.

I know they were old tunes but they were bad. Pop music could not come quick enough.


Its that man again!!
