In summer

  8 REMEMBRANCE DAY (5:03)

On your maypole green
see the winding morris men
Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken
waving hankies, sticks and boots
- all the earth and roots

Standing at the crease
the batsman takes a look around
The boys are fielding on home ground
The steeple sharp against the blue
- when I think of you

Sam and Andy, Jack and John
Charlie, Martin, Jamie, Ron
Harry, Stephen, Will and Don
Matthew, Michael - on and on

We will remember them
remember them, remember them
We will remember them
remember them, remember them

Time has slipped away
The summer sky to autumn yields
A haze of smoke across the fields
Let

So these are the "official" lyrics then? Taken from the booklet or somewhere else?

copy and paste from TK's forum would be less laboured

Checking in late, as usual.   Has anyone figured out 'slipped load"?    It maybe means that the load was not balanced well and on a curve or something, it slid over to one side of the truck, unbalancing it.    Or it could mean that the whole unbalanced load slipped off the truck entirely.     I've seen lots of slipped loads on hay trucks.    I hate to meet the things on curves.   
Ian, the the ship in the photo here looks like the video clip you put together.   Your video adds even more poignancy to the song.   It's a heartbreaker.

  Hi Marie. Yes I think the slipped load could be a double meaning also. The driver has been down on his luck (maybe a broken relationship?) and then I also think the "Hard shoulder" itself could also have a double meaning. Being that he has had to pull over to the shoulder of the road to try to recover his slipped load and he needs a shoulder to cry on also as a result of his two instances of bad fortune?
