Botwood is a town in north-central Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is in Division No. 6, in the Bay of Exploits. The town is centred on its sheltered, deep water port used by cargo vessels.
In 1908 construction began on the Botwood Railway, running between Bishop's Falls and Botwood. It was a joint effort between the A.N.D. Company and the A. E. Reed Company of Bishop's Falls. It was to be the transportation link for the export of pulp and paper from the newly built mill at Grand Falls. The railway became operational by the fall of 1909, and the first shipment of paper from the new mill was sent in February 1910. The A.N.D. Company took control of the railway operation in 1910, just a year after the line was completed.
The first aircraft facilities to be established in Botwood was by Newfoundland born Captain Sydney Bennett (1897–1945) and Australian-born Major Sidney Cotton (1894–1969). It became host to many dignitaries and celebrities, some as part of official delegations and others who were stalled there waiting out inclement flying weather. Among those were Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh in 1933. Both Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill overnighted at Botwood. Bob Hope and his troupe were stormbound there in 1943 and performed for the RCAF Coastal Command.
The ppython is waiting,we take it
A twisted tomato,forsaken
"What's got into me?What's got into you?
We're naked."
(Everybody's gonna say it)
Mama says to me,mama says to me,
(Homeless made us find our glory)
Mama said,"No more."
Finding our way like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime if you're lucky in time
So you might as well make this all something
The garbage,this music,what I feel
Well listen what we do,where we've been
We got into see,we get in to do,
We're taken aback
(Everybody's gonna say it)
Mama said to me,mama said to me,
(Homeless made us find glory)
Mama said,"It's good."
Finding our way like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime 'cause we're lucky in time
So we might as well make this all something
Findin' out!
Finding our place like a teen here in space
Disembrace what we always remember
It don't cost a dime 'cause we're lucky in time
So you might as well make this all something
We're various traits of a thousand and one
Generations we'll never remember
It's only as if you could never believe
That by chance you couldn't even be here
Bring it back,bring it back
What you said,what you said
Mama said to me,mama said to me
Mama said to me,"Good."
Mama said to me,mama said to me
