They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away

We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
Sub luna saltamus

Into the valley, betrothed and divine
Realizations no virtue but who can define
Why soldiers go marching, those masses a line
This disease is catching from victory to stone

Ahoy, ahoy, land, sea and sky
Ahoy, ahoy, boy, man and soldier
Ahoy, ahoy, deceived and then punctured
Ahoy, ahoy, long may they die

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate to mammy's hero

Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier

(What could he do)
(Should have been a rock star)
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers

Always look on the bright side of life

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life.

For each a road
For everyman a religion
Find everybody and rule
For everything and rumble
Forget everything and remember
For everything a reason
Forgive everybody and remember

For each a road
For everyman a religion
Face everybody and rule
For everything and rumble
Forget everything and remember
For everything a reason

You got the fear

Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end,
Though the way be long, let your heart be strong,
Keep right on round the bend.
Though you're tired and weary still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
Where all the love you've been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road.

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

(.... a firm favourite!)

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there right on the job.

They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Ten cents a dance, pansies and rough guys, tough guys who tear my gown.
Seven to midnight I hear drums, loudly the saxophone blows,
Trumpets are tearing my ear-drums, customers crush my toes.
Sometimes I think, I've found my hero
But it's a queer romance
All that you need is a ticket,
Come on big boy, ten cents a dance.

Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos
The cream of every famous band.

Seventy-six trombones caught the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds
Springing up like weeds
There were horns of every shape and kind.

There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons
Thundering, thundering all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,
Each bassoon having its big, fat say!

There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery
Thundering, thundering louder than before
Clarinets of every size
And trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score!

Well I find myself in reverie
'Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long, long time ago
It was way back in '76
Our friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in Mathew Street

Aruntraveller · « **Reply #587 on:** September 02, 2016, 10:31:21 AM »

Sometimes I wonder
Why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody
Haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Oh, but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart, it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Though I dream in vain
In my heart, it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Chains! Chains! I'm all in chains
Your love will drive me insane
Come on! Let's do it again
I really want my coo ca choo
Night time's a lonely time
When you're gone I'm starting to cry
But you know that you're on my mind
Oh honey be my coo ca choo

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you.

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes.

I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake.

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can.

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you.

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side.

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love.

Turn around, stand up like a man and look me in the eye
Turn around, take one final look at what you've left behind
Then walk away
From the greatest lover you have ever known
Yes, walk away
You're telling me that you can make it on your own
By yourself, all alone, without my help
Mister, you just made a big mistake

ekim · « **Reply #593 on:** September 03, 2016, 08:35:18 AM »

I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone.

Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home.

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore.

Aruntraveller · « **Reply #594 on:** September 03, 2016, 09:00:39 AM »

The reason Nobody's home is because you are looking in Nobody's diary for the number:

If I wait for just a second more,
I know I'll forget what I came here for,
My head was so full of things to say,
But as I open my lips all my words slip away
and anyway,
I can't believe you want to turn the page,
And move your life onto another stage,
You can change the chapter you can change the book,
But the story remains the same if you'd take a look.

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

Keep the Home-fires burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of Home.

There's a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out,
Till the boys come Home.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #596 on:** September 03, 2016, 01:03:34 PM »

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad
You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly
With a burning love (baby, baby)
That stings like a bee (baby, baby)
Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly

Baby face you've got the cutest little baby face,
There's not another who can take your place,
Baby face,
My poor heart is thumpin' you sure have started somethin'
Baby face, I'm up in heaven when I'm in your fond embrace,
Uh well I need a shove, because I'm in love
With your pretty baby face.

Aruntraveller · « **Reply #598 on:** September 26, 2016, 12:14:02 PM »

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa, come to papa, do!
My sweet embraceable you.

The sweet sweet memories you gave me
You can't beat the memories you gave me
Take one fresh and tender kiss
(The sweet sweet memories you gave me
You can't beat the memories you gave me)
Add one stolen night of bliss
(The sweet sweet memories you gave me
You can't beat the memories you gave me)
One girl, one boy; some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this.
