Ross Hunter was my assistant on Take Me to Town, He was a young man, an actor before that, and learned a lot on the picture. During shooting, Goldstein left, and Ross was most pleasant. He never interfered.

Unorganised Regimentation
(for Brian Miller Cumbernauld new town artist where I come from)
They stand upright
cast totem poles,
Banners large and stretched,
Standing stone sculptures
rounds and squares,
abstract silhouettes,
dimensions three or four
coloured against concrete grey…,
This unorganised regimentation
This unequivocal expressionism

Nowhere Left To Hide
written by Marv Ross (words) / Marv & Rindy Ross (music)
You're young and hungry and you're not satisfied
You take your chances and walk that tentative line
You push a little harder and leave old friends behind
But, baby, sooner or later you could wake up and find
That you have run out of time, and you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
You know the feeling of walking out in that ring
You weigh your hunger against the fear that it brings
And in that moment at night when you finally decide
You better be sure you've got shelter
When the whole thing unwinds
And something's breaking inside
'Cause you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
No regrets, alibis, you know your chances this time

They tell me that it will be hard to find a man strong enough to love my own strength and independence, and not worry about being Mr. Diana Ross, but I disagree. I know absolutely that that man is somewhere out there.

It Don't Move Me
written by Marv Ross (words) / Marv Ross, Jack Charles & Rindy Ross (music)
The kids are hungry
And they line up and down the street
Just to catch a glimpse
Of the miracle of the week
But I knew there was something wrong
When the king had nothing on
You say that it feels right
You say that it fits tight
You say that it moves light
But it don't move me
You say that it's in time
You say that it feels fine
You say that it moves
But it don't move me-
Excuse me baby,
But I just can't catch the thrill
Of watching some joker
On the big screen make the kill
I'm sorry if it breaks your heart
But it don't tear me apart
You say that it feels right
You say that it fits tight
You say that it moves light
But it don't move me
You say that it's in time
You say that it feels fine
You say that it moves
But it don't move me-
Everybody needs a new thrill a day
And you know somebody's gonna sell it
But when the screams die down
And the dreams leave town
You're alone - you're all alone

This 'n' That
Sometimes, I think about this ‘n’ that,
resurrecting damaged memories,
just to torture my soul.
Sometimes, when lying in bed,
I think about this ‘n’ that,
I doze off to unconsciousness.
Sometimes, this ‘n’ that gets to me,
disemboweling my being,
a cruel unusual punishment.
Sometimes, this ‘n’ that
awakens my demons,
painstakingly I exorcise my fallen angels.
Sometimes, I think about this ‘n’ that,
especially things that don’t matter anymore,
to torture my soul.

Ferdi Zondagh (06 September 2009)
It’s the night before you were born.
The rain tickled in, bringing a new fresh start with every drop.
It’s a moment i’ve looked forward to my whole life, meeting
my son, Ferdi Ross.
Your mother look’s her radiant self tonight, brimming with excitement
and joy before the birth of her son.
It’s as if the whole world has stopped, for your day.
Your birthday.
There are so many things going through my mind tonight.
Will you be tall,
Will you be strong,
Will you love life,
Will you love me?
I hope and pray i can give you the world you deserve.
As i sit and think about everything i want to teach you, i wonder
how many things you going to teach me.
Today i’m the son of Ferdi, tomorrow i’ll become the father to Ferdi.
You are my son.
I will be strong for you, my son.
I will be brave for you, my son.
I will always be there, my son.
But mostly, i will love you, for you are the gift god has given us,
Ferdi Ross.

I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.

I have three girls, and I say the same thing to them. I'm not involved in their careers because I've learned that it's important for them to stand on their own two feet. They'll feel better and prouder of themselves if they do.

I learned a great deal doing Brooklyn Bridge. I was able to take a giant step into the terrible reality that was then. We saw the cattle cars that took folks away. Just knowing it was real, it would be impossible not to feel.

Take Another Picture
written by Marv Ross
Saw my father living in a picture
Squinting in the Michigan sun
Caught forever in his blouse and knickers
Wasn't he the lucky one?
While the fear is growing stronger
The sun is almost gone
So hold me in your naked eye
And shoot me on the run
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another picture
Please, please freeze my features
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another
I don't wanna fade away
I saw a picture hidden in the bedroom
Underneath father's ties
A beautiful woman caught naked forever
Black strip over her eyes
I still remember that picture
The image sits sharp and clear
And I'll never erase that eyeless face
Still smiling all these years
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another picture
Please, please freeze my features
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another
I don't wanna fade away

I really do love Diana Ross; I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico, so while we got the music, we never got the experience of watching her.

The White African
The White African
By
Ross Dix-Peek
Over the great ocean seas
My ancestors did choose to flee,
Europe’s rumblings and poverty,
And to “Darkest Africa” did journey
It was many, many years past,
When Queen Vic’ was still at the mast,
When my forebears resolute did come,
To live beneath the great African sun
Since has Mother Africa suckled our young
To us her lullabies and sweet songs sung,
And all this time ‘neath her fiery mantle
Did my people in Africa live, toil and battle
Africa is not for the mild and the meek,
It's no place at all for the feeble and the weak,
And the days oft be savage and so very long,
Yes, it's only for the brave and the very strong
Many generations did pass, and many years shorn,
Before I too upon African soil was born,
Like my fathers’ before, a White African,
Created and cast beneath her scorching sun
And although I have since her rugged shores left,
My soul to Mother Africa’s bosom will forever be cleft,
And though I may miss the tight embrace of an African sun,
It matters not, for I will forever be a White African!

Tea Time Choice
Should I have a biscuit
to help me drink my tea
A digestive or a custard cream
or a ginger nut for me.
I could even have a carmel log
even a chocolate ginger
My tea needs something dipped in it
How about a chocolate finger
Maybe it could be something Nice
Something crunchy I can swallow
I need to compliment my tea
I could try a coconut mallow
Give me that pack of rich teas
Wait! tea and shortbread they go well
I may consider gypsy creams
Im told they taste real swell
Wait a minute, I know what,
I’ll have something quite suggestive
But It’ll melt upon your hands and face
that chocolate digestive
This is becoming to stressful
As my tea is in its cup
I’ll have a bit of toast instead
Cause I canny make my mind up.

Sleep Away The Day
We sleep to forget,
to stop the madness,
to make life just a little more bearable,
to make us feel in control,
to make all the bad people go away,
We sleep for the fun of it,
to make our life in a world of our creation,
to remember those who have left us,
to make us feel our imagination come to life,
to feel the magic of life around us,
We sleep to be things were not,
to make us a doctor
to make us an army man
to make us a police officer
to make us the President/Prime Minister
We sleep to feel alive,
to those who say dreams are not real,
i say to you,
do you not feel in your dreams,
do you not get caught in the moment of a dream,
do you not wish you could control reality,
do you not wish for the best in life,
That is why we dream,
to fulfill our wishes,
it is the one place we are gods,
so i say next time you want to give up and die
i say...
Sleep Away The Day!

Shane
written by Marv Ross (words) / Marv & Rindy Ross (music)
They'll shine a light in your eyes
They'll set you up with their lies, sweet lies
Shane, if you leave me, they'll hurt you believe me
And something inside you will die-
I know the reason you bleed
I understand what you need, and you need me
Babe, I can help you, think of nights that I held you
And only I can make you sleep
Shane, Shane, no one will hide you
Like the one that cries your name-
Shane nobody wants you
Like the one that haunts your dreams
I know the voices you hear
I know the secrets you fear
Dreams that will wake you, faces that shake you
Remember that I've always been near
Forget the love that I gave you
Forget the child that I saved
Only I know your heartbeat, only I know your backstreets
And only I can take you away

Were did magic go! ? ! ? ! ? !
When I realized that magic had died, I begin to cry
The loss of imagination,
The loss of that witch we did not know,
Now science has lain you down,
Never to rise,
Except in the hearts of those who believe,
Those who don’t know,
To them you are reality,
Until the man in the lab coat proves you wrong,
The freedom that we felt is gone,
Our mortality has sunk in,
There is no way to see our dead ones,
The man in the lab coat killed our dreams,
Never to rise again,
As we grow, our children ask of magic,
We let them believe,
We let the hold on to their imagination,
Until the man in the lab coat comes,
He kills their dreams,
As he did to us,
We feel sorrow, detachment and longing
When we remember the day magic died to us
And then we sleep,
The one and only place magic is real!
