Return to Halifax!

We had a treat at the Halifax Returneeship presentation when the group delivered their own version of ‘Return of the Mac’ which became ‘Return to Halifax’. The lyrics were changed to relfect on their time with us and they ‘can do anything they want to do’ with their new found confidence. It was a real treat so we wanted to share the lyrics with everyone! Please have a read below.

Return to Halifax


Well the Jobcentre said so
But I guess I didn’t know
As I said the story goes
That now we’ve got to go
You’ve got the course to start
Jobcentre you broke my heart
But now there’s a means to an end
And I’ve made some great new friends
She lied to me
Sarah said this course would be easy
She lied to me
Well I tried, well I tried
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Well I thought it might be lame
Daymon did the memory game
But was really pleased to know
We got to create The One Show
Eassessor password wrong
And all the writing we’ve done
It was available and free
And it’s time to release me
They tried with me
Sarah helped me find the best in me
They tried with me
Yes they did, yes they did
They cried with me
Didn’t realise how much fun it’d be
They cried with me
And Georgie too, and Georgie too
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Believe in me
I can achieve anything I want to be
Believe in me
Yes I can, yes I can
Believe in me
I can do anything I want to do
Believe in me
Thanks to you, thanks to you
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
Return to Halifax, return to Halifax, return to Halifax
You know we won’t be back
