He used to give me roses

[gjh1971]

Verse 1
He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

Verse 2
We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

Chorus
On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Verse 3
Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we'd known
'Til I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

Repeat Chorus

New Chorus
On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stoney ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Verse 4
He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

I used to watch Prisoner in the early hours of the morning when I worked nights at BT. Moving up north late in 1992 was confusing as Yorkshire TV were a season ahead so the storyline was broken. A lot of the actors have appeared in other soaps which is why you think "where have I seen them from ?". There was a rumour of an Aussie Gold TV channel launching on Sky but this hasnt materialised.

I was singing that to my newborn only yesterday. One of the greatest theme tunes ever, but Minder is the all time daddy.

It was repeated in full on Channel 5 a few years back. I used to watch it at 11pm at night in Yorkshire.

Nah, these women must be punished. What was Lizzie in for? Impersonating a chimpanzee?

Well that's good news as I lived there for two years and on the whole, Aussie television is utter GASH.

The prison setting also blurred the conventional dramatic definitions of “goodies” and “baddies”. Whilst characters such as the principled, compassionate Karen Travers, the dignified “Mum” Brooks and the motherly lesbian Judy Bryant were all nominally more sympathetic than old lags Lizzie and Bea, Cell Block H had no true heroines in the accepted sense and even the “villains” – bullies and stirrers like Franky Doyle, Noeline Burke, Monica Ferguson, Chrissie Latham, Sharon Gilmour and thuggish prison bookie Margo Gaffney - were all shown to possess some redeeming characteristics.

Memorable storylines during the “Bea, Lizzie and Doreen” era of the show (late 1979-late 1981) included the 1979 cliffhanger involving a terrorist raid on the prison in which Governor Erica Davidson, an increasingly campy character somewhat resembling a St. Trinians headmistress, was shot and wounded. A long-running story arc involved Judy Bryant's vendetta against corrupt male warder Jock Stewart after he had murdered her lover Sharon Gilmour by pushing her down a prison staircase. The 1980 cliffhanger saw Bea, Lizzie and Doreen trapped in an underground tunnel after a mass escape plan staged during a performance of the pantomime Cinderella went somewhat awry. As Prisoner reached its 200th episode, Bea Smith suffered amnesia, with no memory of ever having been imprisoned, after an enforced transfer to country prison Barnhurst.
