LET'S SING!!

[bouyantman]

"Dark side of the moon"

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of a tea and a slice
The old man died

[abbadon]

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

One banana, two banana, three banana, four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Lot's of fun for everyone.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one.
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun.
Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Devils and Angels, Toby Lightman

I found out today
that you went on a little trip
To somewhere you don't belong...
I want to be your friend,
made just a little slip
So I'm taking a little trip of my own


And I'm going to meet you...
I'm going to greet you...
At her back door as you're coming out...
Oh, I just know...


'Cause I used to have angels
that used to watch over me
Love was not a stranger,
but love ain't not what it used to be
And I don't want these angels
they're knocking at my door
No, I can't love you no more.


You might have thought that I
would be a little bit lazy
I might not notice... I might not care
Oh, but now you're finding out,
I'm a little bit crazy,
And you were the one, so unaware


And I'm going to meet you...
I'm going to greet you...
At her back door as you're coming out...
Oh, I just know...


'Cause I used to have angels
that used to watch over me
Love was not a stranger,
but love ain't not what it used to be
And I don't want these angels
they're knocking at my door
No, I can't love you no more.


Oh I'm going to walk on... keep my feet movin' on...


I'm going to let you go... yes, I'm going to let you go...
I won't take it ... I won't take it no more...
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Don't think you can come back here to change my mind...
Don't think you can come back here to take it all back...

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh


They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh


I met your children

Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?


Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh


And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.
Oh-a oh


You were the first one.
Oh-a oh


You were the last one.


Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far


Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh


Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far.


Pictures came and broke your heart,
put the blame on VTR.


You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.


Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.


Video killed the radio star.

I lived my life in shadow.
Never the sun on my face.
It didn't seem so sad though.
I figured that was my place.
Now I'm bathed in light.
Something just isn't right.

I'm under your spell.
How else could it be,
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic I can tell.
How you set me free,
Brought me out so easily.

I saw a world enchanted.
Spirits and charms in the air.
I always took for granted
I was the only one there.
But your power shone
Brighter than any I've known.

I'm under your spell.
Nothing I can do.
You just took my soul with you.
You worked your charm so well.
Finally I knew
Everything I dreamed was true.
You make me believe.

The moon to the tide.
I can feel you inside.

I'm under your spell.
Surging like the sea.
Holding you so helplessly.
I break with every swell.
Lost in ecstasy.
Spread beneath my willow tree.
You make me complete.

You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.

There's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly,
Far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie,
Shipwrecked and comotoase,
Drinking fresh,
Mango juice,
Goldfish shoals,
Nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun,
In the sun, sun, sun.

[The Keeper]

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you until
The end of time
CHORUS:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with
Such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life
Doesn't seem such a waste
But our world revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until
The end of time

Repeat chorus

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems
Such a perfect place

Repeat chorus

[bouyantman]

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart

You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart

[abbadon]

Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rocking world go round

Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!

Across the wire across the land

But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time

Oh won't you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Oh but I still get my pleasure

[Diania]

I spin tales each day
Of this world full of wonder
I hear people say,
“You can harvest the plunder”

But as I reflect
With a trembling hand
All the gold coins
Just turn in the sand

I feel very weary
My temper is biting
I know I’ve grown leery
And tired of the fighting

I pray everyday
That it all will be grand
But I sure could use help
Of your kind, friendly hand

Please, storyteller, pull a tale
From your pocket
Spin me a story
From your coattail so bare

My heart has turned cold,
My dreams are too old
And I need to know
Magic’s still there


My own coat’s too thin
And I’m down to the lining
The spirit within
On itself is entwining

My colors are faded
My cuffs are both worn
And the seam down the back
Is all tattered and torn

Please, storyteller, pull a tale
From your pocket
Spin me a story
From your coattail so bare


I walk through your door
See the smile that won’t tire
I sit on the floor
With your dog by the fire

You’ll guide me on walkways
Where the faerie lights burn
And I hope
That I never return

Who’ll keep the firelight
Bright when you’re gone?
Who has the insight
To help me gone on?

You taught me that stories
Once told can come true
And I hope that I tell them
With magic like you

Please, storyteller, pull a tale
From your pocket
Spin me a story
From your coattail so bare

Please, storyteller, pull a tale
From your pocket
Spin me a story
From your coattail so bare

Yes, I need to know
Magic’s still there

..........

With a purposeful grimace
and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed
as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
as he wades through buildings
toward the centre of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go
There goes Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go, Godzilla

Richard Hung Himself

Needles stabbed into the walls
The executioners curtain call
Fighting back he found his life drowning
And there was no way up

Cause Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
It happened just the other day
Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf
He thought he find a better way
With slashing, and stabbing, and manning and ramming

Death room with black curtains
Where his clothes once laid
The roof kicked out and the rope tied to the rafters
A quick kick of the chair
And it's all through
If Richie only knew

Cause Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
It happened just the other day
Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf
He thought he find a better way
With needles, injecting and shooting himself contagiously

His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes
What a swinging guy
Turning gray with mold
This is when he died

Give it up give up
Throw it all away

Burning acid bath
Pulmonary wrath
Feel the boiling surge
It won't let you go


Throw it all away (2x)
Throw it all a....... (2x)
Throw it all away

Swinging in his room
Richie won't come out to play
That poor bastard hung himself the other day
Oh how the years seem to fly by
Is death the final high

Cause Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
It happened the other day
Jesus caught and pushed him off the shelf
He thought he find a better way
With slashing and stabbing and ripping
And stabbing and shredding and slashing
And shredding and stabbing and ripping
And tearing attacking and manning
And taking the body god gave to you

I gotta get out

Cause Richard hung himself
Cause Richard swung himself
Cause Richard strung himself
The needles stung himself
It pulled him off the shelf
Cause Richard hung himself

RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...

Magenta:
Not for very much longer.

RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

RiffRaff:
And the void would be calling...

Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

RiffRaff:
And nothing can ever be the same.

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.

RiffRaff:
Like you're under sedation.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.

When Kerry told on Skin-the-Goat
O'Donal caught him on the boat
Then he wished he'd never been afloat
the dirty skite
It wastn't very sensible
to rat on the Invincibles
they stand up for their principles
both day and night

Then they all went up to Monto
Monto, Monto
all went up to Monto, lang a roo...
to you

[BrowderChick]

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Well you showed me how to feel
Feel the sky was in my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there will always be a place for you
For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there youll be

'Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength
And I want to thank you now
For all the ways you were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

Anytime you feel like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love and I'll help you be strong
But you're so afraid to lose, and baby I can't reach your heart
I can't face this world that's keeping us apart
When I can be the one to show you
Everything you missed before
Just hold on now, cause I can be the one to give you more
Let you know

Chorus
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side (yeah)
Just let me be the one I can make it alright
Anytime you need love baby your in my heart
I can make it alright

I look into you're eyes, and I feel it coming through
And I can't help but want you more than I want to
So baby take all of you're fears, and cast them all on me
All I ever wanted is just to make you see
That I could be the one to give you
All that you've been searching for
Just hold on to my love, and baby let me give you more
You know

Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one I can make it alright
Anytime you need love baby your in my heart
I can make it alright

And now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
'Cause baby you're the fire and I'll be waiting right here
You know my love is real, baby
Yeah yeah yeah

Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one I can make it alright (I can make it alright)
Anytime you need love baby your in my heart
I can make it all right

Stop that Pigeon

Those medals you wear on
your moth-eaten chest

Howww?

worth the chance
for you'll be returned by the
seat of your pants
and clunk, you invent me a
thingamybob
that catches that pigeon or
I lose my job


So stop the pigeon

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama oooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro, Magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows.... :cool:

[bouyantman]

Would you like some sweeties little girl
Come a little closer
I'm gonna show you a brand new world tonight
I've got a palace full of fantasy
Ready made just for you and me
Once you're there I'm gonna take you for a ride

I got a one way ticket
To take you to the other side
I got a one way ticket
So come along and don't be shy

They call me Mr. Tinker Train
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mr. Tinker Train
So come along and play my game
You'll never be the same

Close the curtains and turn out the lights
Beneath my wing it's gonna be all right
A little secret just for you and me
I've got the kind of toys you've never seen
Manmade and a bit obscene
Little angel come and sit upon my knee

got a one way ticket
To take you to the other side
I got a one way ticket
So come along and don't be shy

They call me Mr. Tinker Train
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mr. Tinker Train
So come along and play my game

Mr. Tinker Train
Never be the same
Mr. Tinker Train . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Can you say Mr. Tinker Train?

No use crying 'cause you can't go back
Now you're here to stay
You can't run, you can't hide
You can't tell me what I feel inside

Mr. Tinker Train
That's how I got to get my name
They call me Mr. Tinker Train
So come along and play my game
That's why they call me Mr. Tinker Train
That's why they call me Mr. Tinker Train

I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,
I love to sing-a,
About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a to an "I love you-a,"
I love to, I love to sing!

[The Keeper]

This is the song that doesnt end...
Yes it goes on and on my friend...
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was...
And they continued singing it forever just because...

[grinner]

Coroner

Masked Jackal

I saw his face, on every channel
His slogans in all the papers
I heard people, repeat his words
I saw them shouting, his flag in their hands

I saw him making promises
I heard him talk about life
But I saw his fingers too
They were crossed behind his back

Darling...of the TV screen
Manipulator...of the purse strings
Master...of the spoken words
Jackal...with connections

Worshipped...by the masses
Leader...with ulterior motives

(All talk and no do)
(Is neither a good offense or defense)
(Get with it boys and girls)
(Your house needs to be put in order too)

His slate, clean as snow
Covers over his dark past
To be in league with workers
Pictures he loved to see

But I read in his eyes
Promotion...reality
He played his part to the end
Shot...leaving a shambles

[grinner]

Kreator

Betrayer

This is a song which I use to describe
what I feel
About people like you
No sense for humanity, no idea about life
This premise has been proved
You used my trust to satisfy your
brainless lust
Your word isn't worth more than puke
in the dust
Betrayer
Betrayer
Misleader, you twisted things to satisfy
Deceiver, this greedy lust you can't deny
How could I be so naive to believe
all the lies
You so easily told
I think I've learned my lesson too late
The story took time to unfold
Now I see your true face
Behind your mask, a cheat, a fake
Your word isn't worth more than puke
in the dust
Betrayer
Betrayer
Ignorant twisted mind, maybe it
would help
To think before you speak from time
to time
Pretend to be a friend of mine
But you would sell your mother if
you could
For less than a dime
Intelligence lost, Brain deceased,
So you will loose, fall to your knees,
Guys like you I cannot stand
Maybe I must speak another language
before you understand

[grinner]

Corrosion of Conformity

Vote with a bullet

The number in nations
The god in their hearts
The justice in swine
The devil in God
VOTE
This long hand that breaks our backs
Still casting shadows on all that we see
Unjustified...mercy killing is just a feeling
To keep our numbers from being free
(Chorus)
Prison for praise is not worth thinking
Sin is still in and our ballots are shrinking
So unleash the dogs - the only solution
Forgive and forget, fuck no
I'm talking about a revolution
The prophet man's got a needle in his hand
Draws his dreams from your soul - bleeding
minds into sand
The year of the fear has arrived decades too late
And our right to stand and fight is now
solely sealed in fate
(Repeat first chorus)
One last chance mission with a vision
'cos our lives are just cards i their stack
Our time is short but theirs is shorter
How much longer can they hold us back
(Chorus)
Prison for praise - the obvious answer
Once had power mad - living disaster
Don't fuck with me 'cos I'm on a freedom train
That bears no name - this time
I'm voting with a bullet
This view they once knew made our nooses too tight
This justice in swine
This devil in god
So God bless my soul - I've got total control
And the crosshairs lined up dead in my sight
I'm voting with a bullet

[Stormhorse]

Our time has come
Age of the Hammerheads
this is our mission
to be the Daleks of God
too late for silence
too late for anything
it's all too much for me
it's roots go down too deep for me

A punishing fire
an animal frenzy
these hammerhead people
know what danger is for
You let them in
and now they're everywhere
be it mineral or vegetable
it's back a little up a little

Shout push Hammerheads **Onward Hammerheads
bold and resolute **bright and dangerous
Marching balancing **jumping running
in too far to go back **in the field and factory
yes yes Hammerheads **God save hammerheads
swimming kissing **keeping going
We are big and clever **we are sleek and special
and we don't know anything **and we're sure of something

Purification by immersion
in our filthy demon seed
we know the only things
you like are paranoid sex
and childish greed
Our own worst enemies
they hollow us out of wood
look at all the grease inside us
gonna get us this time but good
Whether you push it out
or pull it in it all ends up the same
you know a hammerhead **blessed are the ape men
is a hammerhead **blessed are the shit kickers
by any other name **blessed are the jackhammers
**blessed is the big damage
**blessed are the faith healers
**blessed are the moonwalkers
**blessed are the snake people
**blessed are the heat seekers

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

thats why we drink it here,

*breaks into Fields of Athenry*

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they have taken you away,
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

Chorus:
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity."

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

[Angels_Gal]

Well, how do you do young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit hear down by your graveside,
And rest for a while ‘neath the warm summer sun.
I’ve been working all day and I’m nearly done.
I can see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
when you joined the great fallen in nineteen sixteen.
Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean,
Oh Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Chorus:

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly,
did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down?
Did the bands play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

And did you leave a wife or sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined,
Although you died back in nineteen sixteen
In some faithful heart are you forever nineteen?
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed now forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.

Chorus:

Now see how the sun shines o’er the green field of France
There’s a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance,
And see how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas or barbed wire, there’s no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard it’s still no-man’s land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man’s blind difference to his fellow man
To a whole generation who were butchered and damned.

Chorus:

Now young Willie McBride, I can’t help wonder why
Do all those who lie here know why did they die.
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory the pain,
The killing, the dying they were all done in vain
For young Willie McBride it all happened again
And again and again and again and again.

[Jeff O'Connor]

*enters with a song he wrote a few days back*

"Parched Eyes"

Watching you I can watch myself
Delving into you
Touching you I've lost touch with me
But with you there's so much more to view

Holding you I feel I'm holding my heart
Maybe I'm going nowhere
When you're angry at yourself I feel I'm torn apart
We're like one - but just for me - it's so unfair

I can read through your bare lies
Away from your desperate tries
To make me believe you're all right
I can see through your sparkling eyes
Into your parched eyes
You fail to deceive me

Have you ever heard the expression
It takes one to know one
Have you ever wondered if anyone
Knew it like you

Do you ever fear that some day
You'll meet yourself somewhere
And fall in love with you

I can know when you'd smile
Cause I smile too
Right on cue

I can read through your bare lies
Away from your desperate tries
To make me believe you're all right
I can see through your sparkling eyes
Into your parched eyes
You fail to deceive me

Your voice whispers to me
Your voice it's calling to me
I've got to answer it before the sun goes down

I can read through your bare lies
Away from your desperate tries
To make me believe you're all right
I can see through your sparkling eyes
Into your parched eyes
You fail to deceive me

Try as you will
Try as you might
You've given me wings
I've mastered your flight
Grant me your moments
I'll give you my own
You've given me wings
And I have flown

I can read through your bare lies
Your bare lies
Away from your desperate tries
I can see through your sparkling eyes
Sparkling eyes
Into your parched eyes
Those parched eyes of yours

[Angels_Gal]

I'll tell me ma when I come home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pulled my hair, they stole my comb
But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the bell of Belfast city
She is a courtin', one, two, three
Please would you tell me who is she

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
They rap at the door and they ring at the bell
Sayin': Oh, my true love, are you well

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come shuffeling from the sky
She is nice as apple pie
And she'll get her own lad by and by

[Angels_Gal]

Come single belle and beau, come to me, pay attention
Don't ever fall in love, it's the Devil's own invention.
For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'
Miss Henrietta Bell, down in Captain Kelly's kitchen

chorus:
With my toora loora la, my toora loora laddy
Ah toora loora la, ri toora loora laddy.

Now next Sunday being the day that we were to have the flare-up
I dressed myself quite gay, an' I greased and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife, now he had gone out a-fishin'
And we kicked up high life, down below-stairs in the kitchen.

With her arm around my waist and she slyly hinting marriage
Through the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage!
She jumped up off my knee, well five feet or higher
And a twenty shilling note went to blazes in the fire

Chorus

Well I said she did invite me, but she gave a flat denial
On that they did indict me, and I was sent for trial.
She swore I robbed the house, twas poison she was spitting
And I got six months hard, for my courting in the kitchen.

Chorus

[Angels_Gal]

For anyone who has heard this song, to you I say cheers! cause not many people have heard this song before.


these last few weeks, oh will they say we've failed
From our school days they have taught us, we must yearn for liberty
But all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me

Oh Grace, Just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love, for we must say good-bye



Though I know it's hard for you my love, to ever understand
The love I feel for this great man, my love for this dear land
But when Padraig called me to his side down at the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking to
On this May morn, as I walk out my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
The love I feel for this great land the blood upon the Rose

[Angels_Gal]

Darlin Girl from Clare

Darling Girl from Clare

We were sitting on the wall upon a Sunday
To watch the girls go by
And thinkin' we'd be marrit to one one day,
When Kate Flynn caught our eye.
Oh, man, she had the makin's of a fairy
And it made each boy'o swear!
There's not one girl in the wide wide world
Like the girl from County Clare.

And every man had got the finest plan
Ye ever see now - barrin' me now.
Ev'ry day there's one of them would say
That she'll agree now - you'll see now.
All night they'd fight as to which o' them was right
In the colour of her eyes and hair;
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the Darling Girl from Clare.

I never said a single word about her
But I met the girl that day,
I told her I could never live without her,
An' what had she to say?
She said that I might go and see her father,
I met him then and there,
An' in less than an hour we were fightin' for the dower
Of the Darling Girl from Clare!

So every man had got the finest plan
Ye ever see now - barrin' me now,
Ev'ry day there's one of them would say
That she'll agree now - you'll see now.
But late last night when the moon was bright,
I axed her if she'd share
Me joy an' me sorra' an' begorra! On tomorra'
I'll be married to the Girl from Clare.

Have you heard of Phil the Fluther, from the town of Ballymuck?
The times were going hard with him, in fact the man was bruk.
So he just sent an invitation to his neighbours, one an all.
As to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball.
And when writin' out he was careful to suggest to them,
That if they found a hat of his convanient to the doore,
The more they put in, whenever he requested them
The bether would the music be for battherin' the flure.

First, little Micky Mulligan got up to show them how,
And then the Widda' Cafferty steps out and makes her bow,
I could dance you off your legs, sez she, as sure as you are born,
If ye'll only make the piper play, "The hare was in the corn."
So Phil plays up to the best of his ability,
The lady and the gentleman begin to do their share;
Faith, then Mick it's you that has agility,
Begorra Mrs. Cafferty, yer leppin' like a hare!
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O!

Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O!
Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-O!
Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.

With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle-O!
Hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle-O!
Up! down, hands around, crossing to the wall-
O! Hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluther's Ball.

And now for something that's NOT Irish Tenors

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone, more or less,
Let me fly, far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.


I want to lie shipwrecked and comotose,
Drinking fresh mango juice,
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.

"Lift The Wings"

Please don't ask me what a Stoirin a Gra means cause I have no idea.

How can the small flowers grow
If the wild winds blow
And the cold snow is all around

Where will the frail birds fly
If their home on high
Have been torn down to the ground

Lift the Wings
That carry me away from here and
Fill the Sail
That breaks the time to home
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stoirin a Gra

How and a tree stand tall
If a rain won't fall
To wash its branches down

How can the heart survive
Can it stay alive
If its love's denied for long

Lift the Wings
That carry me away from here and
Fill the Sail
That breaks the line to home
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you
I'm beside you when I think of you - a Stoirin
And I'm with you when I think of you - a Stoirin
And a song will bring you near to me - a Stoirin a Gra

[Jeff O'Connor]

And now for something NOT by the Irish Tenors

*lots of laughter*

[Angels_Gal]

"Galway bay"

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh,
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadow making hay.
Just to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gosoons at their play.

For the breezes blowin' o'er the sea from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin' praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

Yet the stangers came and tried to teach us their way.
They scorned us just for bein' what we are.
But they might as well go chasing after moon beams,
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there's is going to be a life hereafter,
And somehow I am sure there's going to be,
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven,
In that dear land across the Irish sea.

[Angels_Gal]

"Danny Boy"

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

[Angels_Gal]

"Star of The county down"

I must post a warning about this song....if you EVER go into belfast Do NOT sing this song. you'll be lynched......Belfast part of county Antrim and county down are rivals...

Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down
One morning in July,
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen,
And she smiled as she passed me by;
Oh, she looked so neat from her two white feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair,
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
Chorus:
Oh, from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,
And from Galway to Dublin town,
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling quare,
And I said, says I, to a passer-by,
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
Oh, he smiled at me, and with pride says he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown,
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She's the Star of the County Down."
I've traveled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began;
But fair and square I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rose McCann.
I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown,
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down.
At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering lies
On the heart of the nut-brown Rose.
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Though with rust my plow turns brown,
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the Star of the County Down.

[Angels_Gal]

"Rocky Road TO Dublin"

In the merry month of May from my home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken-hearted
Saluted Father dear, kissed my darlin' Mother
Drank a pint of beer my grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born
I cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghost and goblin,
In a bran'new pair of brogues I rattled o'er the bogs
And frightened all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin,
Chorus
One, two, three, four five hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky roaad, and all the ways to Dublin
Whack fol-lol-de-ra
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight next morning light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, to keep my heart from sinking,
That's an frishman's cure, whene'er he's on for drinking,
To see the lasses smile, laughing all the while,
At my curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubbling,
They ax'd if I was hired, the wages I required,
Till I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city,
Then I took a stroll out among the quality,
My bundle it was stole in a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, then I looked behind,
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin',
Enquiring for the rogue, they said my Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.
From there I got away my spirits never failing,
Landed on the quay as the ship was sailing,
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, I played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin'
When off to Holyhead I wished myself was dead,
Or better far, instead, on the rocky road to Dublin.
The bovs of Liverpool, when we safely landed,
Called myself a fool, I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, temper I was losin'
Poor old Erin's isle they began abusin'
"Hurrah my soul!" sez I, my shillelagh I let fly,
Some Galway boys were by, saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud Hurrah, they joined in the affray,
We quickly cleared the way, for the rocky road to Dublin

"The Parting Glass"

I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall
so fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades ere I had, they're sorry for my going away,
and all the sweethearts ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay,
but since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile
there is a fair maid in this town who sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips, I alone she has my heart in thrall
so fill me to the porting glass goodnight and joy be with you all.

[Angels_Gal]

"Molly Malone"

In Dublin's fair city where girls are so pretty
'Twas there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through street broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Chorus
Alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Now she was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her mother and father before
And they each wheeled their barrows
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Chorus...

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"

Chorus...

"Red Is the Rose"


Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darling;
You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever.

Refrain:

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows,
And fair is the lily of the valley;
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.

'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were shining;
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.

Refrain

It's not for the parting that my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother,
"Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever.

Refrain

[Angels_Gal]

"The Croppy Boy"


It was early, early in the spring
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing,
Changing their notes from tree to tree
And the song they sang was Old Ireland free.

It was early early in the night,
The yeoman cavalry gave me a fright;
The yeoman cavalry was my downfall
And I was taken by Lord Cornwall.

'Twas in the guard-house where I was laid,
And in a parlour where I was tried;
My sentence passed and my courage low
When to Dungannon I was forced to go.
As I was passing my father's door
My brother William stood at the door;

My aged father stood at the door
And my tender mother her hair she tore.
As I was going up Wexford Street
My own first cousin I chanced to meet;
My own first cousin did me betray
And for one bare guinea swore my life away.

As I was walking up Wexford Hill
Who could blame me to cry my fill?
I looked behind, and I looked before
But my aged mother I shall see no more.
And as I mounted the platform high
My aged father was standing by;
My aged father did me deny
And the name he gave me was the Croppy Boy.

It was in Dungannon this young man died
And in Dungannon his body lies.
And you good people that do pass by
Oh shed a tear for the Croppy Boy.

The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door

There's a sweet garden spot in our memory
It's the place we were born in and reared
It's long years ago since we left it
But return there we will if we're spared
Our friends and companions of childhood
Would assemble each night near a score
Round Dan Murphy's shop, and how often we sat
On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door

Cho: Those days in our hearts we will cherish
Contented although we were poor
And the songs that were sung
In the days we were young
On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door

When our day's work was over we'd meet there
In the winter or spring just the same
Then the boys and the girls all together
Would join in some innocent game
Dan Murphy would take down his fiddle
While his daughter looked after the store
The music did ring and sweet songs we would sing
On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door

Back again will our thoughts often wander
To the scenes of our childhood's home
The friends and companions we left there
It was poverty caused us to roam
Since then in this life we have prospered
But still in our hearts we feel sore
For memory will fly to those days long gone by
And the stone outside Dan Murphy's door

[Angels_Gal]

The Town I Loved So Well

In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell.
Going home in the rain running up the Dark Lane
Past the jail and down beside the Fountain
Those were happy days in so many many ways
In the town I loved so well.

In the early morn the shirt factory horn
Called the women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
Fed the children and then walked the dog
And when times got rough there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so well.

There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we could all understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
When I played in a small pick-up band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
There I learned about life and I found a wife
In the town I loved so well:

But when I returned oh my eyes how they burned
To see how a town could be brought to its knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by the old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns
Oh my God, what have they done
To the town I loved so well.

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
They will not forget but their hearts are set
On tomorrow and peace once again
Now what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
For the town I Iove so well.

[Angels_Gal]

"Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff"


The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still
Just turn to the left at the bridge of Finea
And stop when halfway to Cootehill.
'Tis there I will find it I know sure enough
When fortune has come to my call,
Oh the grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff
And the blue sky is over it all
And tones that are tender and tones that are gruff,
Are whispering over the sea,
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff,
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me.

My mother once told me that when I was born
The day that I first saw the light,
I looked down the street on that very first morn
And gave a great crow of delight.
Now most newborn babies appear in a huff,
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I knew I was born in Ballyjamesduff
And that's why I smiled on them all.
The baby's a man, now he's toil-worn and tough,
Still, whispers come over the sea,
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me

[Angels_Gal]

"Kerry Dance"

Oh, the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh, the ring of the piper's tune
Oh, for one of those hours of gladness
Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon!
When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

Chorus

Was there ever a sweeter Colleen
In the dance than Eily More
Or a prouder lad than Thady
As he boldly took the floor.

Lads and lasses to your places
Up the middle and down again
Ah, the merry hearted laughter
Ringing through the happy glen!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

Chorus

Time goes on, and the happy years are dead
And one by one the merry hearts are fled
Silent now is the wild and lonely glen
Where the bright glad laugh will echo ne'er again
Only dreaming of days gone by in my heart I hear.
Loving voices of old companions
Stealing out of the past once more
And the sound of the dear old music
Soft and sweet as in days of yore.

When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight!
Oh, to think of it
Oh, to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears!

Chorus

"Dublin in the rare old times"

Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown
The passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes
That once was part of Dublin in the rare old times.


(Chorus):

Ring a-ring a-Rosie, as the light declines
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times.

The years have made me bitter, the drink has dimmed my brain,
For Dublin keeps on changing, nothing stays the same.
The Metropol and the Pillar are gone, the Royal's been pulled down,
And the gray, unyielding concrete makes a city of my town.

So farewell Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay,
And watch the new glass cages, that rise along the quay.
My mind's too full of memories, to want to hear new chimes,
I once was part of Dublin, in the rare old times.

(Chorus)

[Angels_Gal]

"Isle of Inisfree"

I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer,
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say,
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away.
And precious things are dreams unto an exile.
They take him o'er the land across the sea --
Especially when it happens he's an exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree.

And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
Of this great city, wondrous though it be,
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter.
I'm once again back home in Inisfree.

I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
And find a peace no other land could know.
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow.
And then into a humble shack I wander --
My dear old home -- and tenderly behold
The folks I love around the turf fire gathered.
On bended knees ,their rosary is told.

But dreams don't last --
Though dreams are not forgotten --
And soon I'm back to stern reality.
But though they pave the footways here with gold dust,
I still would choose the Isle of Inisfree.

[Angels_Gal]

"As I sit here"

As I sit here remembering you
The scented dusk like blessing falls
The flowers lie dreaming in the dew
And sun gleams red on old red walls
On eves like this, it used to be
Where life was full and love was new
But now there's nothing left for me
But to sit here, remembering you.
When memory thus before me stands
My thoughts of you are bittersweet
You held my life within your hands
You crushed my dreams beneath your feet
But though no more I know your face
Nor where you are, nor what you do
I love you still for this last grace
But to sit here remembering you, remembering you.

[Angels_Gal]

"Isle of hope, Isle of tears,"

On the first day on January,
Eighteen ninety-two,
They opened Ellis Island and they let
The people through.
And the first to cross the treshold
Of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years.

CHORUS:

Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.

In a little bag she carried
All her past and history,
And her dreams for the future
In the land of liberty.
And courage is the passport
When your old world disappears
But there's no future in the past
When you're fifteen years

Chorus

When they closed down Ellis Island
In nineteen fourty-three,
Seventeen million people
Had come there for sanctuary.
And in Springtime when I came here
And I stepped onto it's piers,
I thought of how it must have been
When you're fifteen years.

[Angels_Gal]

"Song for Ireland"

Walking all the day, near tall towers
where falcons build their nests
Siver winged they fly,
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw Black Head against the sky
with twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Living on your western shore,
saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
and sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day with true friends
who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news,
singing songs to pass the night away
Watched the Galway salmon run
like silver dancing darting in the sun
Living on your western shore
saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
and sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day in old pubs
where fiddlers love to play
Someone touched the bow,
he played a reel
it seemed so fine and gay
Stood on Dingle beach
and cast in wild foam we found Atlantic bass
Living on your western shore,
saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
and sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night I saw a land
where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly,
they twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky
Living on your western shore,
saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
and sang a song for Ireland

[Angels_Gal]

"Rose of Tralee"

The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
That stands in beautiful vale of Tralee.

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
And Mary all smiling was listening to me
The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.

[Angels_Gal]

If you'll listen, I'll sing you a sweet little song,
Of a flower that's now drooped and dead,
Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates,
Tho' each holds aloft its proud head.

'Twas given to me by a girl that I know,
Since we've met, faith, I've known no repose,
She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star,
And I call her my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,
The sweetest flow'r that grows,
You may search ev'rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow'r that grows,
And some day for my sake,
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

They may sing of their roses which, by other names,
Would smell just as sweetly, they say,
But I know that my Rose would never consent
To have that sweet name taken away.

Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by
The bower, where my true love grows;
And my one wish has been that some day I may win
The heart of my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,
The sweetest flow'r that grows,
You may search ev'rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow'r that grows,
And some day for my sake,
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose

Macushla

Macushla! Macushla!
Your sweet voice is calling,
Calling me softly,
Again and again,
Macushla! Macushla!
I hear it in vain.

Macushla, Macushla,
Your white arms are reaching,
I feel them enfolding,
Caressing me still.
Fling them out from the darkness,
My lost love, Macushla,
Let them find me and bind me
Again, if they will.

Macushla! Macushla!
Your red lips are saying
That death is a dream,
And love is for aye,
Then awaken, Macushla,
Awake from your dreaming,
My blue-eyed Macushla,
Awaken to stay.

"Scorn not his simplicity"

See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried

See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play a children's game
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same

Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no

See him stare
Not recognizing the kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand
what she's been guilty of

How she cried, tears of happiness
the day the doctor told her it's a boy
Now she cries tears of helplessness
and thinks of all the things he can't enjoy

Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no

Only he knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care

Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

"The Last Rose Of SUmmer"

'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions are faded and gone;
No flow'r of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them;
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead. -- [see remark below]

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither'd,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

[Angels_Gal]

BANTRY BAY

As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming,
It might have been but yesterday.
That we watched the fisher's sails all homing,
Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay.
Then the fisher girls with baskets swinging,
Came running down the old stone way.
Every lassie to her sailor lad was singing,
Ah welcome back to Bantry Bay.
Then we heard the pipers sweet note tuning,
And all the lassies turned to hear.
As they mingled with a soft voice crooning.
Till the music floated down the wooden pier.
Save you kindly, colleens all, said the piper
Hands across and trip it while I play.
And the tender sound of song and merry dancing,
Stole softly over Bantry Bay.

As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming,
The shawdows of the past draw near.
And I see the lovely faces round me
That used to glad the old front pier.
Some have gone upon their last logged homing,
Some are left, but they are old and grey.
And we're waiting for the tide in the gloaming.
To sail upon the great highway.
To an isle of rest unending.
Called peacefully from Bantry Bay.

[Angels_Gal]

*laughts at Jeff* I was shocked too when I looked at my number of posts.

Eileen Og

Eileen Og, an' that the darlin's name is,
Through the Barony her features they were famous.
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?

But her beauty made us all so shy
Not a man could look her in the eye
Boys, Oh boys, sure that's the reason why
We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore

Refrain:
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore

2. Friday at the fair of Ballintubber
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
I'd like to set me mark upon the robber
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore.

He never seemed to see the girl at all
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
Lookin' big and masterful when she was lookin' small
Most provokin' for the Pride of Petravore
Refrain:

3. So it went as 'twas in the beginning
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore.

Sez he: "I know a girl that could knock you into fits"
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore
Refrain:

4. Boys, oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple
Of my eyes 'tis Eileen was the apple
Now to see her walkin' to the chapel
With the hardest featured man in Petravore.

Now, boys, this is all I have to say:
When you do your courtin' make no display
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore
Refrain:

[Angels_Gal]

"Green Isle of Erin"

voice ever calling
A voice like the song of a far distant sea
A music the soul
Of the wild breakers roaring
If floats like a dream
O'er the waters to me
I hear it with tears
And a heart wildly beating
While far and alone
In a strange land I roam
And I weep as I list
And my prayers give it greeting
The voice of the green Isle
My country and my home

(Chorus)
Oh green isle of Erin
That waits for me yonder
Though fate may decree
T'is forever be part
Still exiled and lonely
Where ere I may wander
The green Isle of Erin
Remains in my heart

There is nowhere a sea
Like the blue rippling ocean
That surges around
And beside that dear strand
There's nowhere a star
That looks down in devotion
So bright as are those
That shine down on the land

(Chorus)

With tears in my heart
Tears beyond all controlling
I wake and remember
An exile am I
And Ipray as tho' between us
The wide seas are roaring
To come home to thee
It is only to die

Oh green isle of Erin
That waits for me yonder
Though fate may decree
T'is forever be part
Still exiled and lonely
Where ere I may wander
The green Isle of Erin
Remains in my heart

[Angels_Gal]

"The Old man"

The tears have all been shed now
We've said our last goodbyes
His souls been blessed
He's laid to rest
And it's now I feel alone (That was what was wrong whit it erace this)
He was moer than just a father
A teacher my best friend
He can still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When we play them on our own

(Chorus)
I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man

As a boy he'd take me walking
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colours of the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
And how to fish and make a wish
Beside the Holly Tree

I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him thanks
For everything he's done

[Angels_Gal]

"Mountains Of MOurne"

Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With the people here working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
But there's gangs of them that's what I've been told
So I just ook a hand at this digging for gold
But all that I found there I might as well be
Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
I believe that when writing a wish you expressed
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
Well if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
They don't wear a top to their dresses at all!
Oh I've seen them myself, and you could not in truth,
Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath
Don't be starting them fashions now, Marry Machree
Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

You remember young Peter O'Loughlin, of course
Well, now he is here at the head of the force
I met him today, I was crossing the strand
And he stopped the whole street
with one wave of his hand
And there we stood talking of days that are gone
While the whole population of London looked on
But for all these great powers, he's wishful like me
To be back where dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea

[Angels_Gal]

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING

When irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring
In the lilt of irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing

When irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when irish eyes are smiling
Sure they steal your heart away

[Angels_Gal]

"Spanish LadY "

As I roved out thro' Dublin city
At the hour of twelve o' the night,
Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady
Washing her feet by candlelight.
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coal.
In all my life I ne'er did see
A maid so neat about the sole.

Chorus:
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.

As I came back through Dublin City,
At the hour of half-past eight,
Who should I spy but the Spanish Lady,
Brushing her hair in broad daylight.
First she toss'd it, then she brushed it,
On her lap was a silver comb.
In all my life I ne'er did see
So fair a maid since I did roam.

Chorus:
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.

As I went down thro' Dublin City
When the sun began to set.
Who should I spy but a Spanish Lady,
Catching a moth in a golden net.
When she saw me, then she fled me,
Lifting her petticoat over the knee,
In all my life I ne'er did spy
A maid so blithe as the Spanish Lady.

Chorus:
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-lee
Whack for the too-ra loo-ra-laddy
What for the too-ra loo-ra-lee.

"Will ye go lassie go"

Oh the summertime is coming and the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme grows around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie go, and we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

I will build my love a tower near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build all the flowers of the mountain

Will ye go lassie go, and we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

If my true love she were gone I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme grows around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie go, and we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

Oh the summertime is coming and the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme grows around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie go, and we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

"The harp that once through Tara's halls"

The harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul of music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As if that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts that once beat high for praise
Now feel that praise no more.
No more to chiefs and ladies bright,
The harp of Tara swells;
The chord alone, that breaks at night,
Its tale of ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.

[Angels_Gal]

"Slievenamon"

Alone, all alone, by the wave-washed strand
All alone in the crowded hall,
The hall it is gay and the waves they are grand
But my heart is not there at all,
It flies far away,
By night and by day
To the times and the joys that are gone
But I never can forget
The sweet maiden I met
In the valley of Slievenamon.

It was not the grace of her queenly air
Nor the cheeks of the roses glow
Her soft dark eyes or her curly hair,
Nor was it her lily white brow,
'Twas the soul of truth
And of melting ruth,
And a smile like the summer's day,
That stole my heart away
On that bright summer's day
In the valley of sweet Slievenamon.

In the festive hall and the wave-washed shore
My restless spirit cries -
"My land, oh my land, shall I never see you more,
My country will you never uprise."
By night and by day I will ever, ever pray,
As darkly my life it rolls on,
To see our flag unrolled
And my true love unfold
In the valley near Slievenamon.

[Angels_Gal]

"When You Were Sweet Sixteen"

When first I saw the love light in your eye
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifled far apart
I never dream, but what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before
Sincefirst I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is O'er

I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did in Auld Lang Syne
As to the church we wandered side by side

I love you as I never loved before
Sincefirst I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is O'er
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

[Angels_Gal]

Oh Wow an entire thread to myself, this is nice :P

"The Old bog Road"

feet are here on Broadway
This blessed harvest morn,
But oh! the ache that’s in my heart
For the spot where I was born.
My weary hands are blistered
Through work in cold and heat!
And oh! to swing a scythe once more
Through a field of Irish wheat.
Had I the chance to wander back,
Or own a king’s abode.
I’d sooner see the hawthorn tree
By the Old Bog Road.

When I was young and restless
My mind was ill at ease,
Through dreaming of America,
And the gold beyond the seas.
Oh, sorrow rake their money,
‘Tis hard to find the same,
And what’s the world to any man
If no one speaks his name.
I’ve had my day and here I am
A-building bricks per load.
A long three thousand miles away
From the Old Bog Road.

My mother died last springtime,
When Erin’s fields were green.
The neighbours said her waking
Was the finest ever seen.
There were snowdrops and primroses
Piled high above her bed,
And Ferns Church was crowded
When her funeral Mass was read.
And here was I on Broadway
A-building bricks per load.
When they carried out her coffin
Down the old Bog Road.

There was a decent girl at home
Who used to walk with me.
Her eyes were soft and sorrowful
Like moonlight o’er the sea.
Her name was Mary Dwyer,
But that was long ago.
The ways of God are wiser
Than the things that man might know.
She died the day I left her,
A-building bricks per load,
I’d best forget the days I’ve spent
On the old Bog Road.

Ah! Life’s a weary puzzle,
Past finding out by man,
I’ll take the day for what it’s worth
And do the best I can.
Since no one cares a rush for me
What need is there to moan,
I’ll go my way and draw my pay
And smoke my pipe alone.
Each human heart must bear its grief
Though bitter be the ‘bode
So God be with you, Ireland,
And the Old Bog Road.

[Jeff O'Connor]

Wow... so many songs... this is... I don't know what this is... I love the songs, too... it's just... endless! :D

"Dublin can be heaven"

I've been north and i've been south,
and Iv'e been east and west
I've been just a rolling soul.
Yet there's one place on this earth
I've always liked the best.
Just a little town I call my own.

Dublin can be heaven with coffee at eleven
and a stroll in steven's green, there's no need to worry
there's no need to hurry your a king and the lady's a queen

Grafton street's a wonder, and there's magic in the air,
there are diamonds in the lady's eyes and gold dust in her hair.
And if you don't believe me, I'll welcome you there
On Dublin on a sunny summer morning

I've been here and i've been there
I've sought the rainbow's end, but no crock of gold I've found
now i know that come what may what ever fate may send
here my boots are sunk deep in friendly ground

[Angels_Gal]

Some of them are better than others. I have a long list as to which ones I love. :) they're all great songs.

[Angels_Gal]

"She is far from the land"

She is far from the land
Where her young hero sleeps,
And lovers are round her, sighing;
But coldly she turns
From their gaze, and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.

She sings the wild songs
Of her dear native plains,
Ev'ry note which she loved awakening -
Ah! little they think
Who delight in her strains,
How the heart of the Minstrel
is breaking.

He had lived for his love,
For his country he died,
They were all that to life
Had entwined him -
Nor soon shall the tears
Of his country be dried,
Nor long will his love
Stay behind him.

Oh! make her a grave
Where the sunbeams rest,
When they promise a glorious morrow;
They'll shine o'er her sleep
Like a smile from the West,
From her own loved
Island of sorrow.

[Angels_Gal]

"It's a long way to tipperary"

Refrain:
It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know.
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart lies there.
1. Up to mighty London came
An Irish lad one day,
All the streets were paved with gold,
So everyone was gay!
Singing songs of Picadilly,
Strand, and Leicester Square,
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:
It's a long way . . . .
2. Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O',
Saying, "Should you not receive it,
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling",
Molly dear", said he,
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad,
Don't lay the blame on me".
It's a long way . . . .
3. Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O',
Saying, "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly,
Or you'll be to blame,
For love har fairly drove me silly,
Hoping you're the same!"
It's a long way . . . .

[Angels_Gal]

"Mary From Dungloe"

1. Oh, then fare ye well, sweet Donegal, the Rosses and Gweedore.
I'm crossing the main ocean, where the foaming billows roar,
it breaks my heart from you to part, where I spent many happy days.
Farewell to kind relations for I'm bound for Amerikay.

2. Oh my love is tall and handsome and her age is scarce eighteen,
she far exceeds all other fair maids when she trips o'er the green,
her lovely neck and shoulders are fairer than the snow,
till the day I die I'll ne'er deny my Mary from Dungloe.

3. If I was at home in sweet Dungloe a letter I would write,
kind thoughts would fill my bosom for Mary, my delight.
'Tis in her father's garden the fairest violets grow,
and 'twas there I came to court the maid, my Mary from Dungloe

4. Ah, then Mary, you're my hearts delight, my pride and only care,
it was your cruel father would not let me stay there.
But absence makes the heart grow fond and when I'm o'er the main,
may the Lord protect my darling girl till I return again.

5. And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass.
And by my side a bottle of wine and on my knee a lass.
I'd call for liquor of the best and I'd pay before I go
and I'd roll my Mary in my arms in the town of sweet Dungloe.

[Angels_Gal]

"Toora Loora Loora" (that's an Irish Lullaby)


Over in Killarney, many years ago.
my mother sang a song to me
in tones so sweet and low

Just a simple little ditty
In her good ol' irish way
And I'd give the world if she would sing,
That song to me this day

toora loora loora
toora loora loora lay
toora loora loora
hush now don't you cry

toora loora loora
toora loora lay
toora loora looral
it's an irish lullaby

Off in dreams i'd wander
To that part again
I feel her arms a huggin me
just when she held me then

and i'd hear her voice a hummin
to the passin days of your
and she used to rock me fast asleep
outside the cabin door.

[Angels_Gal]

"There's a flower that bloometh"

There is a flower that bloometh
When autumn leaves are shed,
With the silent moon it weepeth,
The spring and summer fled.
The early frost of winter,
Scarce its brow hath overcast,
Oh, pluck it ere it wither,
'Tis memory of the past.

It wafteth perfume o'er us,
Which few can e'er forget,
Of the brightest scenes before us,
Of sweet though sad regret.
Let no heart brave its power,
By guilty thoughts o'ercast,
For then a poisoned flower,
Is the memory of the past.

[Angels_Gal]

"How are Things in Glocca Morra"

little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddie (lassie) with the twinklin' eye
Come whistlin' (smilin') by
And does he (she) walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin' willow
And each brook along the way,
And each lad (lass) that comes a-whistlin' (a-sighin')
Tooralay
How are things in Glocca Morra
This fine day?

[Angels_Gal]

"Believe Me All Those Endearing Young Charms"

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts, fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art,
Let they loveliness fade as it will;
And around the dear ruin, each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still!

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And teh cheeks unprofanded by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear!
No, the heart that has truly loved nver forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose!

[Angels_Gal]

"I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen"

I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonnie bride.
The roses all have left your cheek.
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.
Refrain:
|: Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again! :|

I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
Your heart was ever fond and true.
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing dear, but you.
The smiles that once you gave to me
I scarcely ever see them now
Though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow.
Refrain:

To that dear home beyond the sea
My Kathleen shall again return.
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn.
Where laughs the little silver stream
Beside your mother's humble cot
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
There all your grief will be forgot.
Refrain:

"Off to Philadelphia"

Oh, me name is Paddy Leary from a spot in Tipperary
The hearts of all the girls I'm a thorn in
But come the break of mornin it is they who'll be forlorn
For I'm off to Philadelpha in the morning

cho:
With me bundle on me shoulder, faith, there's no man can be bolder
I'm leaving dare old Ireland without warning
For I lately took the notion for to cross the briny ocean
And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning


There's a girl named Kate Malone sure I'd hope to call ne own
To see my little cabin floor adornin
But my heart is sad and weary, how can she be Mrs. Leary
When I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning

When they told me I must leave the place I tried to wear a cheerful face
To show me hearts deep sorrow I was scornin
But the tears will surely blind me for the friends I leave behind me
When I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning

cho 2:
With me bundle on me shoulder sure there's no man can be bolder
I'm leaving just the spot that I was born in
But some day I'll take the notion to come back across that ocean
To me home in dear old Ireland in the morning

I believe this song is a precursor to ""Oft to Tipperary"" which depicts
a emmigrant comimg home."

The Golden Jubilee

Way down in the County Kerry
In a place they call Tralee
A fine old couple they lived there
Named Kate and Pat McGee
They were going to give a caile
On their golden jubilee
Said Kate to Pat come over here
And listen now to me

Ah put on your oul knee britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off your hat me darlin' Pat
Put on your old colleen
For today's our golden wedding
And I want them all to know
How we looked when we were wed, fifty years ago
Turnaround
Now well do I remember
When we danced on the village green
You held me in your arms dear Pat
And called me your Colleen
Your hair was like a raven's wing
But now it's turned to grey
Ah come over here me sweetheart dear
And this to you I'll say

Chorus

[Angels_Gal]

BRIGID FLYNN

I've a nice slated house and a cow or two at grass
I've a plant garden running by the door
I've a shelter for the hen and a stable for the ass
Now what can a man want more
I dunno maybe so and a bachelor is aisy and he's free
But I've lots to look after though I'm living all alone
Sure nobody's looking after me

Now my father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land
And I know the way he says it that there's someone on his mind
And me mother has the whole thing planned
I dunno maybe so
And 'twould molify them greatly to agree
But there's little Brigid Flynn
Sure it's her I want to win
Though she never throws an eye at me

Oh there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold
And that's a decent dowry don't you see
And I mean to go and ax her as soon as I get bold
If she'll come and have an eye to me
Will she go I dunno
But I'd love to have her sittin' on my knee
And I'd sing like a thrush
On a hawthorn bush
If she'll come and have an eye to me

[Angels_Gal]

"The West's Awake"

When all beside a vigil keep,
The West's asleep, the West's asleep -
Alas! and well may Erin weep
When Connacht lies in slumber deep.

There lake and plain smile fair and free,
'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry.
Sing, Oh ! let man learn liberty
From crashing wind and lashing sea.
That chainless wave and lovely land
Freedom and nationhood demand;

Be sure the great God never planned
For slumb'ring slaves a home so grand.
And long a brave and haughty race
Honoured and sentinelled the place.

Sing, Oh! not even their sons' disgrace
Can quite destroy their glory's trace.
For often, in O'Connor's van,
To triumph dashed each Connacht clan.
And fleet as deer the Normans ran

Thro' Corrsliabh Pass and Ardrahan;
And later times saw deeds as brave,
And glory guards Clanricard's grave,
Sing, Oh! they died their land to save
At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave.

And if, when all a vigil keep,
The West's asleep! the West's asleep!
Alas! and well may Erin weep
That Connacht lies in s1umber deep.
But, hark! a voice like thunder spake,

The West's awake! the West's awake!
Sing, Oh! hurrah! let England quake,
We'll watch till death for Erin's sake

[Angels_Gal]

"Forty Shades of Green"

I close my eyes and picture the emerald of the sea
from the fishin boats at Dingle to the shores at Dunehea
I miss the River Shannon and the folks at Skibbereen
the moorlands and meadows and their Forty Shades of Green

But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
I long again to see and do the things we´ve done and seen
where the breeze is sweet as shalimar and there´s Forty Shades of Green

I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin´s churning suft
I long to watch the farmers drain the bogs and spade the turf
to see again the thatching of the straw the women clean
I´d walk from Cork to Larne to see those Forty Shades of Green

But most of all I miss a girl in Tipperary town
and most of all I miss her lips as soft as eiderdown
I long again to see and do the things we´ve done and seen

[Angels_Gal]

The Old House

Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood
They bring back to memory the happy days of yore
Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted
No light in the window, no welcome at the door

Here's where the children played games on the heather
Here's where they sailed their wee boats on the burn
Where are they now? Some are dead, some have wandered
No more to their home will the children return

Lonely the house now, and lonely the moorland
The children have scattered, the old folk are gone
Why stand I here, like a ghost or a shadow?
?is time I was movin', ?is time I passed on.

[Diania]

This is the show that never ends!
Yes it goes on and on my friends!
Some people started watching it
Not knowing what it was!
And they continued watching forever just because
This is the show that never ends....

[Angels_Gal]

The Bard of Armagh

Oh list' to the tale of a poor Irish harper
And scorn not the string of his old withered hands
But remember those fingers they once could move sharper
To raise up the strains of his dear native land.
It was long before the shamrock, dear isle's lovely emblem
Was crushed in its beauty by the Saxon's lion paw
And all the pretty colleens around me would gather
Call me their bold Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh.

How I love to muse on the days of my boyhood
Though four score and three years have fled by them
It's king's sweet reflection that every young joy
For the merry-hearted boys make the best of old men.

At a fair or a wake I would twist my shillelah
And trip through a dance with my brogues tied with straw
There all the pretty maidens around me would gather
Call me their bold Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh.

In truth I have wandered this wide world over
Yet Ireland's my home and a dwelling for me
And, oh, let the turf that my old bones shall cover
Be cut from the land that is trod by the free.

And when Sergeant Death in his cold arms doth embrace
And lull me to sleep with old Erin go bragh
By the side of my Kathleen, my dear pride, oh place me
Then forget Phelim Brady, the Bard of Armagh.

[Angels_Gal]

"Maggie"

I wandered today through the hills, Maggie,
To watch the scene below;
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie,
As they were long, long ago.

The green grove is gone, from the hill, Maggie,
Where once, the daisy's sprung;
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie,
Since you and I were young.

They say I am feeble with age, Maggie,
My steps are much slower than then;
My face is a well-written page, Maggie,
And time, all alone, was the pen.

They say we have out-lived our time, Maggie,
As faded as songs that we sung;
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie,
When you and I were young...

[Angels_Gal]

"Minstrel Boy"

The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you will find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;

"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

The Minstrel fell but the foeman's steel
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he loved never spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;

And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!

[Angels_Gal]

"She Moved Through The Fair"

My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she stepped away from me and this she did say:
It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"

As she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she turned homeward with one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

The people were saying, no two e'er were wed
But one had a sorrow that never was said
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.


Last night she came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
As she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day"

[Angels_Gal]

"Wild Rover"

I've been a wild rover for many a year,
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
But now I'm returning with gold in great store,
And I never will play the wild rover no more.

Chorus
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more,
Will I play the rover
No never, no more.

I went down to an ale house I used to frequent,
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, but she answered me "Nay.
Such custom like yours I could have any day."

Chorus...

[Traditional version of this verse:]
So I pulled from my pocket a handful of gold
And upon the round table, it glittered and rolled
She said, "We have whiskey and beer of the best,
What I told you before twas only in jest!"

[Alternate, more contemporary version:]
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright,
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight,
She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best,
For the words that you told me were only in jest."
[OR: And I'll take you upstairs, and I'll show you the rest."]

Chorus...

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done,
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they caress me as oft times before,
I never will play the wild rover no more!

Chorus...

[Angels_Gal]

"Loch Lomond"

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

Chorus:
O' ye'll tak the high road and I'll tak the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond

Chorus

Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond,
Where in deep purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming oot in the gloaming.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again,'
Though the waefu' may cease fae their greeting

[Angels_Gal]

Cruiscín Lán
(My Little Full Jug)


Let the farmer praise his grounds
Let the huntsman praise his hounds
Let the shepherd praise his dewy-scented lambs
But I, more wise then they, spend each happy night and day
With me darling little cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
With me darling little cruiscín lán.

Chorus
Oh, gradh mo chroide mo cruiscín
Slainte geal Mauver-neen,
Gradh mo chroide mo cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
Oh gradh mo chroide mo cruiscín lán.

Immortal and divine, great Bacchus, god of wine
Create me by adoption, your own son
In the hope that you'll comply, that my glass shall ne'er run dry
Nor me darlin' little cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
Nor me darlin' little cruiscín lán.

Chorus...

And when grim death appears
In a few but happy years
He'll say,"Oh, won't you come along with me?
"I'll say, "Begone ye knave, for King Bacchus gave me lave
For to fill another cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
"For to fill another cruiscín lán.

Chorus...

So fill your glasses high
Let's not part so dry
Though the lark proclaims it is the dawn
And since we can't remain May we shortly meet again
To share another cruiscín lán, lán, lán,
To share another cruiscín lán.

Chorus...

[Angels_Gal]

Stór Mo Chroí
(darling of my heart)

Stór Mo Chroí, when you're far away
Far from the land you'll be leaving,
It's many a time by night and by day
That your heart will be sorely grieving.
For the stranger's land may be bright and fair,
And rich in its treasures golden.
But you'll pine, I know, for the long, long ago
And the love that is never olden.

A Stór Mo Chroí, in the stranger's land
There is plenty of wealth and wailing.
Whilst gems adorn the great and the grand
There are faces with hunger pailing.
Though the road is toilsome, and hard to tread
And the lights of their cities will blind you.
Won't you turn a stór to Erin's shore
And the ones that you're leaving behind you.

A Stór Mo Chroí, when the evening's mist
Over mountain and sea is falling,
won't you turn away from the throng
And maybe you'll hear me calling.
For the sound of a voice that is surely missed
For somebody's quick returning.
A ruin, a ruin, oh won't you come back soon
To the ones who will always love you.

[Angels_Gal]

ONE SMALL STAR

When I need to feel you near me
I stand in this quiet place
Where the silver light of countless stars
Falling on my face
Though they all shine so brightly
Somehow it comforts me to know
That some that burn the brightest
Died an eternity ago

Chorus
But your light still shines
It’s one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your light’s still shining in my heart

I’m learning how to live without you
And I never thought I could
And even how to smile again
I never thought I would
And I cherish your heart’s memories
Cause they bring you back to life
Some caress me gently
And some cut me like a knife

Chorus

Can your soul be out there some where
Beyond the infinity of time
I guess you’ve found some answers now
I’ll have to wait for mine
When my light joins with yours one day
We’ll shine through time and space
And one day fall on a distant age
Upon some stranger’s face

But your light still shines
It’s one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your light’s still shining in my heart
Your light’s still shining in my heart

[Angels_Gal]

OLD TIN STAR

How old was i, 5 or 6 or so
The innocent years, long ago
Father on a chair reaching up so far
Crowning the tree, with that old tin star
And it shines so pretty diamonds in the sun
Nothin’ but good things will ever come
Little boy don’t grow up stay as sweet as you are
So you still gaze in wonder at that old tin star.

I grew up and I found a place to live
As I unpacked my things I found a gift
And it felt like home, though I’d come so far
For there in my hands was that old tin star
And it shines so pretty, diamonds in the sun
Nothing but good things, will ever come
Little boy don’t grow up, stay as sweet as you are
So you still gaze in wonder, at that old tin star.

I have kids of my own and troubles I’ve had some
I’ve cried my tears and I’ve had my fun
I climb that chair and I reach out so far
And my son looks up at that old tin star
And it shines so pretty, diamonds in the sun
Nothing but good things will ever come
Little boy don’t grow up, stay as sweet as you are
So you still gaze in wonder, at that old tin star.

[Angels_Gal]

THE MASSACRE OF GLENCOE

(chorus)
O cruel is the snow
That sweeps glencoe
And covers the grave o donald
And cruel was the foe
That raped glencoe
And murderd the house of
Macdonald

They came in a blizzard
We offered them heat
A roof o’er their heads
Dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them
They ate of our meat
And they slept in the house of
Macdonald

(chorus)

They came from fort william
Wi’ murder in mind
The campbells had orders
King william had signed
Put all to the sword
These words were underlined
And leave none alive called
Macdonald

(chorus)

They came in the night
When the men were asleep
This band o’ argyles
Through snow soft and deep
Like murdering foxes
Among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house of
Macdonald

(chorus)

Some died in their beds
At the hand of the foe
Some fled in the night
And were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him
That struck the first blow
But gone was the house of
Macdonald

[Angels_Gal]

THE SKYE BOAT SONG

(chorus)
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing,
Onward the sialor’s cry.
Carry the lad that’s born to be king
Over the sea to skye.

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep;
Ocean’s a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, flora will keep
Watched by your weary head.

(chorus)

Many’s the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could weild.
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on culloden’s field.

(chorus)

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men.
Yet, ’ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again!

(chorus)

[Angels_Gal]

POSTCARD FROM PARIS

Dear friend of mine the weather’s fine
Today I saw some ruins of the roman worlds decline
So I climbed those spanish steps
You’ve heard so much about
But rome has lost it’s glory
I don’t know what it’s about

I wish you were here when the shadows falling
And all the rushing traffics still
I wish you were here
When the bells are ringing on the seven hills
I’ll make my way to a small caf? br> I wonder what you did today
I wish you were here

Dear one at home I just flew in from rome
Now paris is a post card
All decked out in colored chrome
So I climbed the eiffel tower
And I prayed at notre dame
But I just can’t find the romance
And I wonder why I came

I wish you were here on the champs-elysees
Lovers walking hand in hand
Wish you were here when they take one look at me
And seem to understand
This city of light is a lovely sight
The first bright star I see tonight
I’ll wish you were here

Now I write this from the plane
Drinking cheap champagne
Wondering how two people got so far apart

Wish you were here, here in london
Where the rain is pouring down
I wish you were here
On this airplane headed back to new york town
I’ll never leave you alone again
I’m coming home but until then
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

[Angels_Gal]

THE GREEN ISLE OF ERIN

There is a voice in the silence
A voice ever calling
A voice like the song of a far distant sea
A music the soul
Of the wild breakers roaring
If floats like a dream
O’er the waters to me
I hear it with tears
And a heart wildly beating
While far and alone
In a strange land I roam
And I weep as I list
And my prayers give it greeting
The voice of the green isle
My country and my home

(chorus)
Oh green isle of erin
That waits for me yonder
Though fate may decree
T’is forever be part
Still exiled and lonely
Where ere I may wander
The green isle of erin
Remains in my heart

There is nowhere a sea
Like the blue rippling ocean
That surges around
And beside that dear strand
There’s nowhere a star
That looks down in devotion
So bright as are those
That shine down on the land

(chorus)

With tears in my heart
Tears beyond all controlling
I wake and remember
An exile am i
And ipray as tho’ between us
The wide seas are roaring
To come home to thee
It is only to die

Oh green isle of erin
That waits for me yonder
Though fate may decree
T’is forever be part
Still exiled and lonely
Where ere I may wander
The green isle of erin
Remains in my heart

[Angels_Gal]

SCOTLAND FOR EVER

Let italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs
Scotland’s blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me
Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud
Land of the brave and proud land of the free
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains
Te spirit of scotia reigns fearless and free
Her green tartan waving o’er blue rock and fountain
And proudly she sings looking over the sea
Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled
When armies and empires against me were hurled
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock
Of england, of denmark, or rome and the world
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o’er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan’s wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman’s wheel
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o’er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan’s wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman’s wheel
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave

geez!..someone(i won't mention any names here)sure does like to sing!

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS - THRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA

LOST IN YOUR DARK
I SEE YOU THERE
WHAT DO YOU SEE BEYOND YOUR STARE
AND YOU BELIEVE THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW

WHAT IS THIS THING YOU KEEP INSIDE
OUT OF THE LIGHT AND WRAPPED IN PRIDE
ALWAYS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL SHOW

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

WHAT ARE THESE VOICES THAT YOU HEAR
ARE THEY TOO FAR OR FAR TOO NEAR
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS THAT ECHO FROM THE PAST

WHO ARE THESE GHOSTS YOU SEE AT NIGHT
THERE IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR LIFE
THEY ONLY LIVE BY THE LIGHT YOU CAST

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

I'LL BE AROUND
WHEN THERE'S NO REASON LEFT TO CARRY ON
AND EVERY DREAM YOU'VE EVER HAD IS GONE
AND THE DARK IS DEEP AND BLACK WITHOUT A SOUND
AND EVERY STAR HAS BEEN DRAGGED TO THE GROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND

(Sorry about the all caps...I just copied and pasted from the website)

[Jeff O'Connor]

I'm glad I found that song, Aeryn, it's brilliant. ;)

[Aeryn_Sun99]

yep...didja ever get to listen to any other TSO songs?

[Jeff O'Connor]

yep...didja ever get to listen to any other TSO songs?

As a matter of fact, a few moments ago this reminded me to start downloading a few more. By the time I hit the sack (in otherwords, the pillow just below my head right now) tonight I'll have been exposed to more TSO songs... this is such a great group... I fear I've been irreversably contaminated... with some of the best frelling music of all time. :woohoo:

[abbadon]

Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.

We are sick and tired of hearing your song.
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong.

I like Claudia's version better....

[Aeryn_Sun99]

Yes, I like hers too... and mostly find myself singing her version, when I sing it... (as I have been a lot lately... man, have I been drunk ;) ). The other version is just truer to the original "Do, re, mi", is all...
yes, that's true...it is closer to the original

[JrMissToughChick]

yes, that's true...it is closer to the original
So what :lol

[Angels_Gal]

love this one.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot
most of the time, which produced an impressive set of
calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which
made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he
suffered from bad breath.

This made him(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)...



A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by
halitosis.

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There’ll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it’s working. good.
That’ll keep you going for the show.
Come on it’s time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

[scifinutter]

Just listening to U2 atm.

You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the thieves and you got caught
In the headlights
Of a stretch car
You're a star

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache
In a suitcase
You're a star

Oh no, don't be shy
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself

Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star

Oh no, don't be shy
There's a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star

(Oh child)

Of course you're not shy
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me


Ohhh I love it!! We're on to ABBA songs now!! Look out!!

[Stormhorse]

Mom is out, and Dad is out
and we're all here alone
They said they'd phone at bedtime
so we unplugged the phone
They've taken the liquor cabinet key
but a crowbar works just as well
'cause tonight's the night we're gonna get granny plastered

We spike her cup of tea with rum
and a twinkle came in her eye
A glass of sherry would be nice
so we spiked her sherry with rye
She throttled a bottle of whiskey
with a cry of "what the hell"
It was a sight, the night we got granny plastered

'Cause when granny gets plastered
she drinks like a bastard
she smokes, she sings, she swears
her legs get all weavy
it's better than tv
She throws the piano downstairs
And don't ever doubt it
the best thing about it
when granny has had a few
she doesn't like to drink alone
so she gets us plastered, too.

[bouyantman]

Adventure seeker on an empty street,
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can't see a way out,
It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say,
Gotta find me a future move out of my way,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine,
People do you hear me, just give me the sign,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth
Here's to the future for the dreams of youth,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I'm a man with a one track mind,
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all,
And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all,
It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth,
Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,
etc.

This is one of my favorite songs (I just LOVE Damien Rice)

Cannonball
by Damien Rice


Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

[Fyodor]

StrongBad - Trogdor the Burninator

Trogdor was a man
or.... He was a dragon man
.... or maby he was just a Dragoon
But he was still the TROGDOOOOOOR
TROGDOOOOOOR
Burninating the countryside
Burninating the peasants
TROGDOOOOR

Have you heard the Scissor sisters' cover? It's pretty good.

Have you heard the Scissor sisters' cover? It's pretty good.

no,sorry!

[bouyantman]

You say I waste my life away
But I live it to the full
How would you know anyway
You're just mister dull
Why don't you get into the things we do today
You could lose twenty years right away
So we say

We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here

Every day you scream at me
To turn the music low
Well if you keep on screaming
You'll make me deaf you know.
You always chew me out, because I stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date
Get one thing straight

We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here

There's no communication
I'm tired of explanation
Is this message getting through
You went through the same thing too

Don't you remember what it's like to lose control
Put on my jacket for you get too old
Let's rock and roll

We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here
We don't need no
No no no
Parental guidance here

Oh no
One life
And I'm gonna live it up :rockband:

[bouyantman]

I'm layin' awake at night
I can't get you out of my mind
All I can hear is my heart beat
And a voice in the dark of some kind

Where are you now
The fears are comin' back to me once again
Oh, I wish you were here
Takin' good care of me
I want you
I feel as though I'm out in the cold

Out in the cold
Hear me calling
Cold
Out in the cold
Please rescue me

I know it was you I hurt
I didn't mean to hurt you
So much to forgive and forget
Can't take anymore of this hurt
On no, Oh no
There's so many things I regret

Where are you now
The fears are comin' back to me once again
Oh, I wish you were here
Takin' good care of me
I want you
I feel as though I'm out in the cold

Shut me out
Out in the cold
Where are you now
Hear me calling
I need you I'm so cold
Can't you hear my heart beat
Out in the cold
Please rescue me

Give me a chance baby
There's nothing I wouldn't do to make it alright
Just for one more chance baby
I need all your lovin' tonight

Where are you now
The fears are comin' back to me once again
Oh, I wish you were here
Takin' good care of me
I want you
I feel as though I'm out in the cold

Shut me out
Out in the cold
Where are you now
Hear me calling
I need you I'm so cold
Can't you hear my heart beat
Out in the cold
Please rescue me
Why don't you rescue me
Cold
Shut me out
Out in the cold
Where are you now
Hear me calling
I need you I'm so cold
Can't you hear my heart beat
Out in the cold
Please rescue me
Why don't you rescue me
I'm so cold
Shut me out
Out in the cold
Where are you now
Hear me calling
I need you I'm so cold
Can't you hear my heart beat
Out in the cold
Please rescue me

The Scottish National Anthem......

O flower of Scotland,
When will we see, your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit hill, and glen,
And stood against them,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward, Tae think again.

Those hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves, lie thick and still,
For land that is lost now,
But oh so dearly held,
We stood against him,
Proud Edward’s army,
And sent him homeward, Tae think again.

Those days are passed now,
And in the past they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward, Tae think again.,

Those hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves, lie thick and still,
For land that is lost now,
But oh so dearly held,…. .
O flower of Scotland,
When will we see, your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit hill, and glen,
And stood against them,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward, Tae think again.

[Madre Farbot]

Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote for a good friend of mine who was in a band called "The End", but it was a bit of a punk band and my song was more of a rock tune. Anyway, it never got published, so if you're looking at this trub you're welcome to the lyrics. Only trouble is I can't give you the music mainly cos I never properly learnt to write music. Incredibly that's still tucked away inside of me head somewhere. :rollin:

These feelings inside are driving me wild
But I just can't help myself
I feel like my heart is tearing apart
And there's no way of seeing you again.

You misunderstood my loving
You misunderstood me well
You misunderstood my loving
Jean, Jean
Jean, Jean
oh, oh Jean

What am I to do without your love
I've gotta try and pull on through
These lonely nights all by myself
Just thinking of only you

Memories are making me drink all night
Trying to ease the pain
But you'll always be there in my mind
Reminding me of our ways

I see your beautiful long hair
Your wide eyed stare
And remember what I once had
With you when I was there

These feelings inside are driving me wild
But I just can't help myself
I feel like my heart is tearing apart
And there's no way of seeing you again

You misunderstood my loving
You misunderstood me well
You misunderstood my loving
Jean, Jean
Jean, Jean
Oh, oh Jean....

---------------------------

The only thing about the spelling of my friend's long ago girlfriend it that I can't remember whether her name was spelt Jean or Gene. I suppose it doesn't really matter now. Oh well.

[bouyantman]

You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other.

Then we race together. We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive
And eveyrthing goes rushing by, with every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry.

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

On and on we're charging to the place so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode.

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

[bouyantman]

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much
too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell :rockband:

[BrowderChick]

Sometimes I wonder
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue

'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, baby
And everything's alright, everything's alright

CHORUS:
When I see you smile
I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh, I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me

Baby there's nothing
in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it, 'cause you're here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I'll ever need, you're all I'll ever need

CHORUS

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright, everything's alright

So right...

[deSaintphalle]

How can you lose your song

When you've sung it so long

How can you forget your dance

When that dance is all you've ever had

It must be true

You can't separate the two

It's impossible to do

Just like the salt that's in the stew

It's all a part of you

One thing that life can't do

It can't take your song from you.

One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
Well, baby, black and white come and touched my groove again!
Gonna write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No!
Uh!

So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
We're gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said Yea!, Oh yea!
Write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55!

Oh, yea!

I can't drive 55!
I can't drive 55!
I can't drive 55!
I can't drive 55!
Uh!

(Solo)

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
And I can't get get my care out of second gear.
What used to take two hours now takes all day. Huh!
It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.
Gonna write me up a 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55!

No, no no,
I can't drive...
(I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive...
(I can't drive 55!)
I can't drive 55!

[bouyantman]

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to get me tight are

Girls, girls, girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls, girls, girls
Dancin' down on the Sunset Strip
Girls, girls, girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat--sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't be beat
But you're the best when you're off their feet

Girls, Girls, Girls
At the dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls, Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil

Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart

I'm such a good good boy
I just need a new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, Ill keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a mnage trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those

Girls, Girls, Girls
Body Shop, Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, Girls, Girls :groove:

[bouyantman]

Hey…ooh…
Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone dancing
You know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Givin' evrything inside and out on
Love's strange, so willing in the dark
Think of the tender things
That we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light get in your heart

Baby, don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't you forget about me

I knew you spent above me
Look my way never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down…
I knew you recognise me
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps talling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down…
Hey…ooh…

Don't you try and peep in
It's my feelings. well, when in the end
I won't harm you or toucch your defenses
Valuble in security, ah…
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone dancing,
You know what baby,
Don't you, I take you apart
I'll put it back together at heart

Don't you forget about me
Don't , don't, don't you forget about me
As you walk on by
Will youcall my name
As you walk on by
Will you call my name
When you walk away

Oh...when you walk away
Will you walk away
Will you call my name
Will you call my name
I say…la…la…la…etc…(fade)

[deSaintphalle]

In the city made of stone
I hear the sirens moan
I can't escape the beating question
Where do I belong?
Boundary lines lie before me
I cross into the unknown
I try to leave my fears behind me
try to carry on

Everyday, sing a song of praise
We've come this far by grace
and when you pray to find your place
love will lead the way

In the shadows of the valley
tears mingle with rain
a shining light will bring my darkness
and mercy will remain

Bless the southern souls who raised me
back in Georgia state
and tell my loved ones not to worry
my love will conquer hate

Everyday sing a song of praise
We've come this far by grace,
and when you pray to find your place,
love will lead the way

Love...
Love will lead
Love will lead the way (fade)

Lead the Way, Lizz Wright (vocals)

I'm going to Arizona this weekend, spur of the moment gift from a friend. Ive never been to Arizona, so I'm gonna let the good times ROLL!!!!! In honor of that, I sing this song:

Celebration
Lyrics:Hunter
Music: Lesh

Celebration in the wind
Open the doors, let the show begin
Come like lightning, come like rain
Come on the double with your ball and chain
Come with your trouble, your sweat and strain
Check 'em all at the door with your grief and pain

Celebration, like days of old
When everything was solid gold
Silver, diamonds, pearls and wine
Blood and roses, both yours and mine
Sunlight shining on a midnight line
That opens and closes like a holy shrine

Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Give you reason to believe again
But finish that prayer before you say Amen

Celebration, one on one
Hold your judgement till it's done
Until the last wheel is spun and still
The final sunbeam sets on the hill
The curtain not only fallen but burned
The very last lesson studied and learned

Celebration, the ball's in play
There was never no yesterday
Just one time the spirit moves
Proving whatever the spirit proves
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
Stepping on nobody's blue suede shoes

Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Give you reason to believe again
But finish that prayer before you say Amen

You say there's nothing left to celebrate
Just stolen elections, corruption and hate
Come come on let the good times roll
It means more now than you'll ever know
Begin again, don't you ever give up
Tryin' to fit the ocean in a six ounce cup
Begin again as though the world will hear
Speak your truth both loud and clear

Speak it like a beast howling in the wind
Speak it from the heart like an innocent child
Speak it from the mountain, speak it from the plain
Speak it like the whistle on a northbound train
Speak it with honor, speak it with pride
Speak it from the meadow by the riverside
Speak it from experience, speak it from fame
Speak it from the gutter with an unknown name
Speak it from the rooftops of the town
Speak it from the tenements tumbling down
Speak it from the podium, speak it from the stage
Speak it from the prison in tones of rage
Speak it in the tongues of gods and men
Say it, say it, say it, say it again
Speak it from the pits or from heaven above
In celebration, baby, speak it with love

Celebration, you know it's true
There was no one until there was you
You say where, I'll say when, we'll
Get it together and begin again
Like recognition of lovers and friends
In celebration that never ends

Celebration - in full sweet swing
Of everyone and everything
That causes hopes and dreams to rise
Bringing love light to your eyes
Bringing laughter to your heart
Celebration, let it start

Let a fresh wind tear through your soul
Swallow your sorrow and deliver you whole
Like a breath of summer in a winter land
Blowing rhythm so simple, hearts can easily understand

[abbadon]

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

[BrowderChick]

Give me all your tears. Let me turn them to pearls

Let me turn all the tears
That you have cried into pearls
Hand them over to me
I'm gonna keep, keep them for you

I want to hold you
I want to kiss you

I want to mend what is broken
Love me the way that you loved her - please
'Cause now I'm giving it all

And so I've made up my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna give all I've got
And get your love in return
And so I've made up my mind
I'm gonna be yours this time
I'm gonna teach you to trust
And learn how to burn
Experience pearls

(Pearls of experience)

When sand strikes up in your eyes
I will cover your face
I'll plant your desert with roses
And I'm gonna keep, keep them for you

And so I've made up my mind...

I'll wear your pearls more precious than silver
I'll wear your pearls so close to my skin
(I's tear myself apart just to get you)

And so I've made up my mind...

[who45]

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
Why take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you that I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
And break choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you that I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind

[bouyantman]

When you look, you see right through me
Cut the rope, defend to my knees
Born and broken every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you would tune me
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
Each time, you see. . .

When you seek me, you destroy me
Rid my mind and smell the poppies
Born and blooded every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you might linger
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you'll see. . .
Like holy water
It only finds you faster than you've ever tried
This time, with me

When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, defend to my knees
Born and bloodied, every single time!

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time, you'll see. . .
Like holy water
It only finds you faster than you've ever tried
This time, with me

Hey!

[bouyantman]

Hey!

Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
Somethin' to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
'Till things get out of control, oh!

How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
Oh! How does it feel when it's love?
It's just somethin' you feel together
When it's love

You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
Ooh!

How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
Oh! How does it feel when it's love?
It's just something you feel together

(Oh oh oh oh) Oh, when it's love
(Oh oh oh oh) You can feel it, yeah!
(Oh oh oh oh) Nothin's missin', yeah!

(Guitar Solo)

(Oh oh oh oh) Yeah, you can feel it
(Oh oh oh oh) Oh, when it's love
(Oh oh oh oh) When nothin's missing, ow!

How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
Ooh, how does it feel when it' love?
It's just something you feel together, hey!

How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
When it's love
Ooh, when it's love
Hey! It'll last forever

(Na na na-ah na na)
When it's love
(Na na na-ah na na)
(Na na na-ah na na)
(Na na na-ah na na)
You and I, we're gonna feel this thing together
(Na na na-ah na na) (repeat to end)
When it's love, ooh

You can feel it, yeah!
We'll make it last forever
Ooh-ooh, when it's love

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ...now i know my abc's next time won't you sing with me? :D

[BrowderChick]

My deja vu...you're my obsession

My deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
We'll get the magic back again
My deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search

I wanna see you dancing naked
I wanna see you touch the moon
But when I try to reach your fingers
You just vanish into air
I wanna feel you with my senses
'Cause I'm almost sure the texture of your skin
Is gonna tell me who you are

My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you

My Deja Vu...

I wanna hold you like I used to
I wanna feel you in my blood
I wonder why I do confess this
To myself all the time
I know the time is working against us
But I'll long for you the rest of my whole life
Like a prisoner of hope

My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you

I have tried to get to know you
To get you off my mind
It feels like going back in time
And snap, I see your finger once again
My deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search

My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you
My deja vu you're my obsession

[BrowderChick]

Fire! I can see it burning so brightly
Fire! I can see it calling out to me

And as the sun goes down
It starts to paint a picture
Of an ancient town
So far away, arcoss the endless sea

Lead me to the light
And take me to the edge of heaven
I'm standing in the night
Looking for the edge of heaven
We'll be touching the edge of heaven

Time
Close your eyes see dreams of tomorrow
Time
The wheels are turning 'till eternity

And as the darkness comes
I start to see a picture
Of a lonely man
So clearly now reaching out for me

Lead me to the light...

And sail the endless sea
So lead me to the light
And take me to the edge of heaven

The edge of heaven is near
We'll sail the endless sea

[bouyantman]

Why Me
sittin' up here
watchin' all the lights blink down below
the earth is turning
why does it go so slow
thinkin' bout the girl I left behind
Houston can you hear me
or have I lost my mind
why me?
why me?
I was waiting on the pad
all systems were go
the man up in the tower
was enjoying the show
then I got this feeling
that I never had before
hey let me out of here
what am I here foe
why me?
why me?
there must be athousand other guys
must be some other way to look good in your eyes
why am I up here, what do they see in me
must be athousand other places to be
why me
the last man to be here
was never heard from again
he won't be back this way
till 2010...
and now I'm riding on a fountain of fire
with my back to the earth
I go higher and higher
why me?
why me?
there must be a thousand other guys
must be some other way
to look good in your eyes
why am I up here, what do they see in me
must be athousand other places to be
why me
take anyone but me
why me

[bouyantman]

Your cruel device
your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill...

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don’t wanna break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I’m caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat....

I hear you calling and it’s needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don’t wanna touch you but you’re under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don’t wanna break these chains
Poison...

(guitar solo)

One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill...

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (to much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You're poison
I don’t wanna break these chains
Poison (Poi-son....)

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah....
Well I don’t wanna break these chains
Poison
Runnin deep inside my veins
Burnin deep inside my brain
Poison
and I don’t wanna break these chains

[bouyantman]

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do
CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

[bouyantman]

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Cause Im broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Cause Im broken when I’m open
And I dont feel like I am strong enough
Cause Im broken when I’m lonesome
And I dont feel right when you’re gone away

Cause Im broken when I’m open
And I dont feel like I am strong enough
Cause Im broken when I’m lonesome
And I dont feel light when you’re gone away

You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney. If you don't have the money for an attorney, an attorney will be appointed for you.

Hey look, I'm going to kill you now! Then I'll throw you out in the back seat, out in a back alley on the fucking south side and no one will ever know what the fuck happened to you. In the river with you, you punk.

That's right, you want to spend the night in county, huh? Huh? You punk, huh? You got a job? Get a job!

Oh! What's this bag here? You got a bag of powder? Why don't you give me some and we'll forget about it. That's right. Yeah alright, so what. Yeah, well, yeah what am I? - fucking God? I'm human too. You know, you fucking punks you think we're all fucking the same. We're human! We got feelings! You treat us like shit, you treat us like fucking pigs. If it wasn't for us you little punks would be beaten up by some fucking nazi somewhere.

You can't get romantic on a subway line.

But ev'rybody wants some.

Ev'rybody wants some.
Baby, how 'bout you?

But ev'rybody wants some.

Ev'rybody wants some.
Baby, how 'bout you?

I've always liked those kind of high heels too. You know, I...
No no no no, don't take 'em off, don't take... Leave 'em on, leave 'em on.
Yeah, that's it, a little more to the right, a little more....

Ev'rybody wants some.
Ev'rybody needs some.
Ev'rybody wants some.

"Vermillion part 2" by Slipknot (Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses)

She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable, Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

A catch in my throat choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, nO!
I don't wanna be this...

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real

Album Save This House
Title Home For A Rest
Song Lyrics

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest.

We arrived in December and London was cold
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

CHORUS:
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

Euston Station the train journey North
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

- CHORUS -

By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest
Take me home

"Long Haired Country Boy"

Long Haired Country Boy lyrics:
People say I'm no good,
crazy as a loon.
Cause I get stoned in the morning,
and get drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound,
I like to lay around in the shade,
and I aint no money,
but I damn shure got it made.

Cause I aint asking nobody for nothin,
if I cant get it on my own.
If you dont like the way I'm livin,
Just leave this Long Haired Country Boy Alone.

Preacher man Talking on T.V.,
puttin down the rock and roll.
Wants me to send a donation,
cause hes worried about my soul.
He said Jesus walked on the water,
and I know that its true,
but some times I think that preacherman,
would like to do a little walking too.

But I aint asking nobody for nothin,
if I cant get it on my own.
If you dont like the way I'm livin,
ya Just leave this Long Haired Country Boy Alone.

A poor girl wants to marry,
and a rich girl wants to flirt.
A rich man goes to college,
and a poor man goes to work.
A drunkerd wants another drink of wine,
and a politician wants a vote.
I dont want much of nothin at all,
but I will take another toke.

But I aint asking nobody for nothin,
if I cant get it on my own.
If you dont like the way I'm livin,
ya just leave this Long Haired Country Boy Alone.

Whats with these homies dissing my girl?

{high pitched voice says: ’thats for all time !’}

Oh oh, and you’re mary tyler moore.
I don’t care what they say about us anyway.
I don’t care about that.

Don’t you ever fear, I’m always near,
I know that you need help.
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit,
You need a guardian.

Oooo oooo!
And you know I’m yours,
Oooo oooo!
And I know your mine.
Oooo oooo!
[that’s for all time !]

Ooo wee ooo, I look just like buddy holly,
Oh oh, and you’re mary tyler moore.
I don’t care what they say about us anyway.
I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.

Bam bang! knocked on the door. another big bang and you’re down on the floor.
Oh no, what do I do? don’t look now, but I lost my shoe.

Wussa matta wussa matta wussa matta you?
Wussa matta babe? I’m feeling blue! oh-ohhhh.

{that(s) ma on the roo.}

Somebody once told me,
The world is gonna roll me,
I ain't the sharpest tool in the she-ed

She was lookin' kinda dumb,
With her finger and her thumb,
In the shape of an L on her forehead.

[BrowderChick]

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

I'm Sonya Blade, so be prepared
I knock you right out of the air
I'm left, right, up and down

I control the air so don't you dare
to attack me 'cause I'm everywhere
Don't try to fool me don't forget
I can kill you with my kiss of death

Bridge:

Chorus:
Go Go Go - all girls stand up and fight
Go Go Go - girls who fight for their right

:sing:
You talk too much!
You talk too much.
I can't belie-eee-ve -
The things that you say -
Everyday.
If you keep on talking baby -
You know you're bound -
To drive me away

Now you get on the telephone with your girlfriend,
your conversation baby ain't got no end
Yakety-yakety-yakety-yak all the time,
you keep on talking baby drive me out of my mind

Well I laid out in the afternoon I start to nappin',
you walk into the room with them jaws a-flappin'
You keep that motormouth moving morning, noon and night,
you keep on talking baby make my head turn white

You talk too much,
I can't believe the things that you say everyday
If you keep on talking baby,
you know you're bound just to drive me away

----- George Thorogood and the Destroyers "You Talk Too Much" (1988)

[Sunday morning teenage boy commentary]
On the radio lately, Kelly Clarkson's been a real breath of fresh air. The music world today is so sick of Britney's Quacking, Christina's Clucking, Beyonce's Coo-ing, and especially Pink's Braying.

And along comes Kelly Clarkson - a babe that's not afraid to take a good deep breath and hurl everything she's got into the mike. Clarkson's firehose style belongs right up there well with Mariah Carey's Shrieking and Celine Dion's Blaring. Three cheers for Kelly - You go grrl !!! :aok:

Senza Catene (Unchained Melody) ~ Il Divo

Non ho piú catene ma solo piangero
lontano da te
Non ho piú catene perché so che
il tuo amor so per me

E so che un di ti rivedrò
Ti stringero ancor

Guardo il ciel e so, dove sei cosa fai
E dovunque andrai senti rai

I sospiri miei che per ter sol per te
Parlano d'amor, del mio amor

Non ho piú catene ma solo piange
il cuor lontano da te
Non ho piú catene perché so che
il tuo amor é so per me

E so che un di ti rivedrò
Ti stringero ancor
