intro

In his 'Evidently Spencertown' poetry column, Spencer Robertshaw pays testimony to the career of the late Amy Winehouse

Amy Voice of the siren bringing in the fleet Touching hierarchy and the streets Lady sang the blues in a timeless fashion Lady sang every time with eternal passion 27 Club has one more To hell with the bastard keeping the score Such a loss from so fragile a child Her beauty lost, set free in the wild Wonderful, painful, endless and sad Do they have to pay for the beauty they had? The endless tears by so many That tribute won't end, won't stop being heavy Sometimes life takes the best away So cruel the master that rules the day Many cry and pay with tears But was she trying to hide from all her fears? Every time we hear her voice in song Make us so grateful that she once did belong Goodbye Amy, we will always love you Until the day that we meet and all sing the blues.
