Dame Catherine Cookson DBE (née McMullen) (27 June 1906 – 11 June 1998) was a British author. She became the United Kingdom's most widely read novelist, with sales topping 100 million, while retaining a relatively low profile in the world of celebrity writers. Her books were inspired by her deprived youth in North East England, the setting for her novels.
Born as Catherine Ann McMullen at 5 Leam Lane in Tyne Dock, South Shields, County Durham, she was known as "Kate" as a child. She moved to East Jarrow, County Durham which would become the setting for one of her best-known novels, The Fifteen Streets. The illegitimate child of an alcoholic named Kate Fawcett, she grew up thinking her unmarried mother was her sister, as she was brought up by her grandparents, Rose and John McMullen. Biographer Kathleen Jones tracked down her father, whose name was Alexander Davies, a bigamist and gambler from Lancashire.[citation needed]
She left school at 13 and, after a period of domestic service, took a laundry job at Harton Workhouse in South Shields. In 1929, she moved south to run the laundry at Hastings Workhouse, saving every penny to buy a large Victorian house, and then taking in lodgers to supplement her income.

c'è una dote che non hai
non è chiaro se ci sei
Sei borghese arrenditi
gli architetti sono qua
hanno in mano la città
Cambia rotta cambia stile
scopri l'anno bisestile
è volgare il tuo annaspare sai
Squarciafavole t'illudi
come notte fra le nubi
questo è l'unonovenovesei
Cristo fa'
che lei non sia qua
non è chiaro sì lo so
ma è una dote che non ho
Estremista edile
piangi e poi gli fai le fusa
mentre ho perso la mia musa
Cambio rotta cambio stile
scopro l'anno bisestile
è volgare il mio annaspare sai
Divertente criminale
la tua scala di sapone
questo è l'unonovenovesei
I had no cares in the 1990's
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
Right in front of the older kids
When our self belief, when our self belief
Wasn't scared by the modern itch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There's little here to miss...
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
Bring back 1996
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I urged it on to grow
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
Just to impress the older kids
When my self belief, when my self belief
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There's little here to miss...
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
Stop talking, stop talking
I need a lover not a friend tonight
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I'm not cut out for the modern life
I'll never beat those teenage kicks
Questa caro papa' e' una lettera a Gesu' bambino
Dalla tu a nome mio al suo angelo postino
Non ti scrivo per me perche' io sono fortunato
Faccio i compiti e poi con gli amici gioco nel prato
Non ti scrivo per me ma per tutti i bambini nati laggiu'
Dove fanno la guerra io li ho visti alla tivu'
Amico mio non lasciarli soli cosi'
Se tu vuoi vengo anch'io e andiamo tutti li'
E tutti insieme faremo un bel girotondo
Insieme noi guariremo tutti i mali del mondo
E tutti insieme in un coro noi saremo giganti
E mai piu' pagheremo per gli errori dei grandi
Il buio finira' la luce tornera'
Negli occhi di un fratellino pieni ancora d'amore
Che ora piangon di gioia e non piu' di dolore
E tutti insieme faremo un bel girotondo
Insieme noi guariremo tutti i mali del mondo
Se tu vuoi vengo anch'io Gesu' amico mio
Ora e' tardi lo sai a quest'ora dovrei gia' dormire
Il lettino e' gia' pronto io ti devo salutare
Gesu' pensaci tu alle mamme e ai bambini nati laggiu'
Dove fanno la guerra e non dormono piu'
Amico mio non lasciarli soli cosi'
Se tu vuoi vengo anch'io e andiamo tutti li'
E tutti insieme faremo un bel girotondo
Insieme noi guariremo tutti i mali del mondo
E tutti insieme in un coro noi saremo giganti
E mai piu' pagheremo per gli errori dei grandi
Il buio finira' la luce tornera'
Negli occhi di un fratellino pieni ancora d'amore
Che ora piangon di gioia e non piu' di dolore
E tutti insieme faremo un bel girotondo
Insieme noi guariremo tutti i mali del mondo
Se tu vuoi vengo anch'io gesu' amico mio
Questa caro papa' e' una lettera a Gesu' bambino
Dalla tu a nome mio al suo angelo postino
