Travelling Tinker Man & Other Rhymes

Poems from the heart by a man who has lived—and loved—life to the full. In the 1970s he was a huge pop star, with number one hits like "Rock On" and "Hold Me Tight." In the 1980s and 1990s he became a star of the stage with lead roles in Godspell and Mutiny! Most recently he became a bestseller with his autobiography, Over the Moon. Now comes a wonderful collection of his poetry and lyrics. Here are nostalgic poems recalling his family's traveler roots, such as "Travelling Tinker Man," and "Fairground Attraction," verses filled with memories of his warm and loving boyhood, like "Beano Day, Dad and Upton Park"—and poetry reliving the highs and lows of fame, such as "Celebrity" and "Like Moths to a Flame." Humor, anger, nostalgia, triumph, and tragedy, the joys of being a lover, a husband, and a father—here is something for everyone.
