Another tribe... another brother

Torn between his lover and the gun

Another god... another mother

Weeps to justify the damage done

 

I wonder through the lies and dirt

I wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth?

 

As truth collides with propaganda

Just another victim on the run

The world outside, all fluff and candour

Seeks to justify the damage done

 

No wonder, so much pain and hurt

I wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth?

 

I think there may be... a war in heaven

Paradise beneath the smoking gun

As every saint and small town saviour

Race to justify their chosen one

 

I wonder, as our world collides

I want to reach out there

across the great divide

QUOTE (eguy @ Oct 4 2008, 08:33 PM)
Thaney

"Mak' yer bed fu' broad, dear Thaney
Mak' yer bed fu' broad and wide
There will lie a southern suitor
And you shall be his bonnie bride"
"Faither dear, my bed is narrow
Narrow so it will remain
Never will I wed a stranger
I would raither lie my lane"

"Then I will call you no more daughter
I will call you no more mine
'Til the day you die you'll wander
Wander oot among the swine"
Thaney fae the ha' was banished
Banished oot in tae the night
By and by there came a lady
Busked in linens lily-white

Thaney beckoned tae the lady
Through the mirk she couldnae tell
That it was a fair-faced laddie
Come loomin like the earl o' hell
"Tak yer hands fae aff my shoulders
Tak yer hands fae aff my wame"
"I will tak' the one thing, lady
I never can return again"

He has left her lyin' lowin'
Lowin' there among the swine
Thaney saw her belly growin'
Growin' wi' the rue and thyme
Word has gone untae the castle
Word has gone untae the ha'
"Thaney has lain wrang wi' a stranger
She has let her snood doon fa'"

"Wae be tae the wanton Thaney
She has hattered at my heart
Take her tae the highest mountain
Tie her fast intae a cart"
They have shackled Thaney's body
Wi' her belly rowin' fu
Every man wi' stone stood ready
For to break her back in two

But wonders on the bonnie lady
Wonders on the Berwick Law
Tho' the stanes rained doon wi' fury
Not a one on her did fa'
Word has gone untae the castle
Word has gone through a' the land
"Thaney rose up like the morning
She stepped softly on the strand"

"Wae be to the wanton Thaney
Curses on her blithesome head
Let it be by Loth here commanded
I will live to see her dead
Without sail or row or rudder
It's you shall toss the wild, wild faem
Let the ocean's dogs devour ye
Never more you'll rise again"

But wonders on the bonnie lady
Wonders on the silver spray
Cradled by five thousand fishes
It's she has reached the Isle o' May
Through the turning tide they tumbled
Through the rattlin', rollin' storm
Safe at Culross Kirk she has landed
There she has her baby born

"I will make my bed fu' narrow
And in it I will lie my lane
And my bonnie boy there beside me
Nothing more to rue again"

This is about the tale of St Thaney, the daughter of King Lot of Goloddin (Of King Arthur et al fame).

 

Congrats on this mate, I never thought someone from across the pond would have unearthed this little gem.....

Thanks Fridge trink39.gif

I originally meant to post the lyrics to Three Ravens, but couldn't find it on the web and didn't want to go looking for the CD jewel case.

We first discovered Malinky at the Mull of Kintyre Musical Festival, a number of years back. My wife and I absolutely adore Karine Polwart, and have been following her solo career since she split with the band. Funny thing is, a couple of years before that mokfest, we were staying near Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, and one night, driving back to our B&B after a great meal and awesome sunset, we heard something intriguing on the radio, but all I thought I heard the DJ say afterwards was "highwire". I did a search when we got home and found "Highwired" by MacAlias. If you don't have it, I'd recommend getting it. But it wasn't until 2-3 years ago that it occurred to me that one of the voices was awfully familiar. I checked the CD and sure enough, 1/2 of MacAlias was Karine. The CD is worth it for John C. Clark alone. Maybe I'll post those lyrics sometime.

Enjoy your time home off the rig.

"Fire at Midnight"

 

I believe in fires at midnight ---

When the dogs have all been fed.

A golden toddy on the mantle ---

A broken gun beneath the bed.

Silken mist outside the window.

Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---

Too much hurry ruins the body.

Ill sit easy ... fan the spark

Kindled by the dying embers of another working day.

Go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---

Fold your clothes neatly away.

Me, Ill sit and write this love song

As I all too seldom do ---

Build a little fire this midnight.

Its good to be back home with you.

We'll trampoline

Finally through the roof

On to somewhere near

And far in time

Velouria

Her covering

Travelling career

She can really move

Oh velveteen!

Even I'll adore you

My Velouria uh uh uh uh uh uh

 

Say to me

Where have you been

Finally through the roof

And how does lemur skin

Reflect the sea?

 

We will wade in the shine of the ever

We will wade in the shine of the ever

We will wade in the tides of the summer th1245.gif

LES MORTS DANSANT

 

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered

While the guns lit up the night

Then it rained and both sides wondered

Who is wrong and who is right

 

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow

Bloody hands and broken back

When they fire see him pirouette solo

Jump in time to the rat a tat

 

What a night though it's one of seven

What night for the dancing dead

What a night to be called to heaven

What a picture to fill your head

 

By the wall in a silouette standing

Through a flash of sudden light

Cigarette from his mouth just hanging

Paper square to his heart pinned tight

 

Gather round reluctant marksmen

One of them to take his life

With a smile he gives them pardon

Leaves the dark and takes the light

 

What a night though it's one of seven

What night for the dancing dead

What a night to be called to heaven

What a picture to fill your head

 

 

They dispatch their precious cargo

Knock him back right off his feet

And they pray may no one follow

Better still to face the beast

 

When the field has become a garden

And the wall has stood the test

Children play and the dogs run barking

Who would think or who would guess

 

What a night though it's one of seven

What night for the dancing dead

What a night to be called to heaven

What a picture to fill your head

I've lost all the time that I have in this world

I spent it unwisely. Unwisely you see

And I can't get it back

And I can't move forward

I'm broken and I'm empty

It's over for me

 

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool

A fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me

 

So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations

aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat

A second chance to prove I know right from wrong

I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong

 

[Chorus:]

So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats

Vagrants and barflies down on the streets

Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits

We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight

 

If you can look into this old face and try to see the young man

I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see

But I squandered all my chances

Lost my faith and took for granted

This life and precious one chance the whirlwind I'll reap

 

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused

Fall to my knees pray for swiftness and just

For I'm just a fool

A fool driven to dust

And the world ain't gonna change for me

The Spicy McHaggis Jig

 

 

I'll tell you a story, believe me, it's true.

A tale you best hope never happens to you.

Old Spicy McHaggis, how he met his fate.

You I can save, but for him it's too late.

 

Spicy was big, burly and strong. His pipes were gigantic,

and so was his schlong!

From city to city, running around,

always looking for chicks over four hundred pounds

 

One night at the pub, a girl caught his eye,

big as a house, just the right size.

the broad was enormous, stacked to the hilt,

Spicy soon noticed a bulge in his kilt.

The piper delivered his best pick-up line,

thought to himself, this beast is all mine

The portly young lady could stand for no more,

grabbed his cojones and went for the door.

 

They got to her house and dimmed all the lights.

Spicy was in for one hell of a night.

He said that he loved her, he'd always be true.

But Mr. McHaggis, I've only just met you

 

By now he saw double through his drunken eyes,

neither had looks or appropriate size.

He came to his senses, thought to himself;

At this time at night, I won't find nothing else

He took off his shirt, She lifted her skirt,

They pulled out his unit and started to play,

she asked for a glove, he gave her a shove,

had baby McHaggis nine months to-the-day.

 

Spicy, Spicy, Spicy, Spicy, Spicy, Spicy, Spicy, Spicy

 

One night at the pub, a girl caught his eye,

big as a house, just the right size.

the broad was enormous, stacked to the hilt,

Spicy soon noticed a bulge in his kilt.

The piper delivered his best pick-up line,

thought to himself, this beast is all mine

The portly young lady could stand for no more,

grabbed his cojones and went for the door.

 

Three packs a day he'll smoke 'til he dies,

Spicy McHaggis, One hell of a guy!

"A Modern Myth"

30 Seconds To Mars

 

Did we create a modern myth

Did we imagine half of it

What happened then, a thought for now

 

Save yourself

Save yourself

The secret is out

The secret is out

 

To buy the truth

And sell a lie

The last mistake before you die

So don't forget to breathe tonight

Tonight's the last so say good-bye

 

The secret is out [x4]

 

Good-bye [x17]

Change the Locks

 

I changed the lock on my front door

So you can't see me anymore

And you can't come inside my house

And you can't lie down on my couch

I changed the lock on my front door

 

I changed the number on my phone

So you can't call me up at home

And you can't say those things to me

That make me fall down on my knees

I changed the number on my phone

 

Yes I changed the kind of car I drive

So you can't see me when I go by

And you can't chase me up the street

And you can't knock me off of my feet

I changed the kind of car I drive

 

I changed the kind of clothes I wear

So you can't find me anywhere

You can't spot me in a crowd

And you can't call my name out loud

I changed the kind of clothes I wear

 

I changed the tracks underneath the train

So you can't find me ever again

And you can't trace my path

And you can't hear me laugh

And honey, I'm laughing all the time!

 

I changed the name of this town

So you can't follow me down

And you can't touch me like before

And you can't make me want you more

I changed the name of this town

 

I changed the lock on my front door

I changed the number on my phone

I changed the kind of car I drive

I changed the kind of clothes I wear

I changed the tracks underneath the train

I changed the name of this town

I changed the name of this town

I changed the name of this town

You and I, we are strangers by one chromosome

Slave to the hormone, body and soul

In a struggle to be happy and free

Swimming in a primitive sea

 

You and I, we must dive below the surface

A world of red neon, and ultramarine

Shining bridges on the ocean floor

Reaching to the alien shore

 

For you and me - Sex is not a competition

For you and me - Sex is not a job description

For you and me - We agree

 

You and I, we are pressed into these solitudes

Color and culture, language and race

Just variations on a theme

Islands in a much larger stream

 

For you and me - Race is not a competition

For you and me - Race is not a definition

For you and me - We agree

 

Reaching for the alien shore

 

You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes

We add to each other, like a coral reef

Building bridges on the ocean floor

Reaching for the alien shore

 

For you and me - We hold these truths to be self-evident

For you and me - We'd elect each other president

For you and me - We might agree

But that's just us

Reaching for the alien shore

 

 

 

 

Damn I love Counterparts!!! And this song 1022.gif

I need an easy friend.

I do, with an ear to lend.

I do think you fit this shoe.

I do, won't you have a clue.

 

I'll take advantage while

You hang me out to dry.

But I can't see you every night, free.

 

I do.

 

I'm standing in your line.

I do hope you have the time.

I do pick a number too.

I do keep a date with you.

Baby's good to me, you know,

She's happy as can be, you know,

She said so.

I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

Baby says she's mine, you know,

She tells me all the time, you know,

She said so.

I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

I'm so glad that she's my little girl.

She's so glad, she's telling all the world.

That her baby buys her things, you know.

He buys her diamond rings, you know,

She said so.

She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm.

So giving all the love you have

Never be afraid to show your heart

So giving all the love you have

There is a special reason

A special reason...

 

In the big dream

We are heroes

We are dreamers

Of the big dream

 

Someone told me

There are brothers

Live forever

In the big sky

 

Just hear your voice

Sing all the songs of the earth

Nothing can come between us

You're a brother of mine

 

Sing out your sisters

All the dreams of the world

Nothing can come between us

We are the travelers of time

 

See the desert

We have walked the path

Of all the known religions

 

In the big dream

We are brothers, we are sisters

Of the big dream

 

Just hear your voice

Sing all the songs of the earth

Nothing can come between us

You're a brother of mine

 

Sing out your sisters

All the dreams of the world

Nothing can come between us

 

Took me by surprise

It opened up my eyes

I can't believe were ready to

Run another

Run another

Run another

 

Fourth dimension dream

All the way it seems

I can't believe were running to

See the world for what it really is

In the full moon

 

 

Took me by surprise

It opened up my eyes

I cant believe were ready to

Run another

Run another

Run another

 

Fourth dimension dream

Always the way it seems

 

Just hear the voice

In all the songs of the earth

Nothing can come between us

You're a brother of mine

 

We hold our hands together

Be the sunshine

Nothing can come between us

You're a sister of time

 

Just hear the voice

Sing all the songs of the earth

Nothing can come between us

Nothing can come between us

Nothing can come between us

 

So give it all the love you have

Never be afraid to show your heart

So giving all the love you have

There is a special reason to come true

 

So giving all the love you have

Never be afraid to show your heart

So giving all the love you have

There is a special reason

There is a special reason this time

 

 

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing my life for the first time

Long lost brother of mine

Living my life in the dig dream

 

Long lost brother of mine

Walking away from illusion

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing my life for the first time

 

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing me fly like an eagle

Long lost brother of mine

Watching me walk in the full moon

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing my life for the first time

Long lost brother of mine

Walking this dream everlasting

 

So it's there

Putting one into one special reason

So it's there

Putting one into one

One another. sure can. sure can

 

This is a further dimension

Coming at us for the very first time

It's the second attention

Realizing it all of the time

 

Re-defining this long lost passion

For the living were in

This will be the first of many

I be telling you

 

Long lost brother of mine

Walking the dream evolution

Long lost brother of mine

Singing the sisters of freedom

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing the fathers of wisdom

Long lost brother of mine

Seeing my life for the first time

 

So it's there, but to want it to one special reason

Yes it's there, but to want it to want one another

So it's there, but to want it to one special reason

Yes it's there, you can see what you want to see

 

Long lost brother of mine

I awoke this morning

Love laid me down by the river

Drifting I turned on up stream

Bound for my forgiver

In the giving of my eyes to see your face

Sound did silence me

Leaving no trace

I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories

Beg to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA'

 

He spoke of lands not far

Nor lands they were in his mind

Of fusion captured high

Where reason captured his time

In no time at all he took me to the gate

In haste I quickly

Checked the time

If I was late

I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories

Had to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA, LA AHA'

 

Hearing

Hearing hearing your wonderous stories

Hearing your wonderous stories

It is no lie I see deeply into the future

Imagine everything

You're close

And were you there

To stand so cautiously at first

And then so high

As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky

I bid it to return

To hear your wonderous stories

Return to hear your wonderous stories

Return to hear your wonderous stories

LA AH LA AH AH AH

 

Hearing

Hearing

Hearing

Hearing

Hearing
