- Twinkle In His Eye from the Bluebird Album was written as a tribute the one of the greatest heroes of our time - Donald Campbell CBE, on what would have been his 100th Birthday (23rd March 2021). He achieved eight absolute world speed records for Britain in the 1950s and 1960s with his beloved "Bluebird" CN7 car and K7 Hydroplane Boat. Tragically he was killed in 1967 trying to beat his own water speed record and is buried in the village of his much loved spiritual home, Coniston.

Lyrics:
One of the greatest heroes that you'll know
A man courageous, he just can't wait to go
There's no task on earth that's big enough for him
Cruising through the land at speed in everything he's in
CHORUS
Cos when he's got that twinkle in his eye
Nothing's gonna stop him - Don't even try
He's on to something and everybody knows
Leaving us behind him, yeah, off he goes
Quick in to action, the man behind the mask
Press close behind him, he's off before they ask
What is it that's driving him, no one will ever know
A Campbell in his speed machine, just watch him go!
