This is a traditional ballad. Karen Casey sings a version of it on the Solas Ten Year Reunion CD/DVD.
The Unquiet Grave
Cold blows the wind on my true-love, Soft falls the gentle rain; I never had but one true-love, In greenwood she lies slain.
I'll do as much for my true-love, As any young man may; I'll sit and mourn all at her grave For a twelvemonth and a day.
The twelvemonth and a day being up, The dead began to speak: Oh who sits weeping on my grave, And will not let me sleep?
'Tis I, my love, sits on your grave, And will not let you sleep; For I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips, And that is all I seek.
You crave one kiss of my clay-cold lips; But my breath smells earthly strong; If you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips, Your time will not be long.
'Tis down in yonder garden green, Love, where we used to walk, The finest flower that e'er was seen Is withered to a stalk.
The stalk is withered dry, my love, So will our hearts decay; So make yourself content, my love, Till God calls you away.

My Mom is Amazing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- My Mom is Amazing By Zain Bhikha She wakes up early in the morning with a smile And she holds my head up high Don't you ever let anybody put you down Cos you are my little angel Then she makes something warm for me to drink Cos it's cold out there, she thinks Then she walks me to school, Yes I aint no fool I just think my Mom is amazing BRIDGE/CHORUS She makes me feel Like I can do anything and when she's with me there's no where else, I'd rather be… After School, she's waiting by the gate I'm so happy that I just can't wait To get home to tell her how my day went And eat the yummy food, only my Mom makes Then I wind her up cos I don't wanna bath And we run around the house with a laugh No matter what I say, she gets her way I think my Mom is amazing BRIDGE/CHORUS In the evening, she tucks me into bed And I wrap my arms around her head Then she tells me a tale of a girl far away Who one day became a princess I`m so happy, I don't want her to leave So she lies in bed with me As I close my eyes, how lucky am I To have a Mom that's so amazing BRIDGE/CHORUS Then I wake up in the morning, she's not there And I realize she never was And I'm still here in this lonely orphanage With so many just like me And as my dreams begin to fade I try hard to look forward to my day But there's a pain in my heart that's a craving How I wish I had a Mom that's amazing Would be amazing u can download the whole album here >>>> www.sunnitorrents.com/viewtop...ht=allah+knows

The Idiot Song - Monty Python
How sweet to be an Idiot, As harmless as a cloud, Too small to hide the sun, Almost poking fun At the warm but insecure, untidy crowd. How sweet to be an idiot, And dip my brain in joy, Children laughing at my back, With no fear of attack, As much retaliation as a toy. How sweet to be an idiot. How sweet.
I tiptoed down the street, Smiled at everyone I meet, But suddently a scream Smashes through my dream. Fee fie foe fum. I smell the blood of an asylum. (Blood of an asylum. But mother, I play so beautifully. Listen. Ha ha.) Fie fye foe fum. I smell the blood of the asylum. Hey you. You're such a pennant. You got as much brain as a dead ant, As much imagination as a carvan sign,
But I still love you. Still love you. Oooh, how sweet to be an idiot. How sweet. How sweet. How sweet.

Papa Hobo - Paul Simon
Mm------ It's carbon and monoxide The ole Detroit perfume It hangs on the highways In the morning And it lays you down by noon Oh Papa Hobo You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy But I feel like a clown It's a natural reaction I learned In this basketball town
Sweep up I been sweeping up the tips I've made I'm living on Gatorade Planning my getaway Detroit, Detroit Got a hell of a hockey team Got a left-handed way Of making a man sign up on that Automotive dream, oh yeah, oh yeah Oh, Papa Papa Hobo Could you slip me a ride? Well, it's just after breakfast I'm in the road And the weatherman lied, Oo-------, Ah-----, Oo-------

DIAMOND RIO I Believe (Skip Ewing/Donny Kees)
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin I feel you come back again And it's like you haven't been gone a moment from my side Like the tears were never cried Like the hands of time are holding you and me And with all my heart I'm sure we're closer than we ever were I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need There are more than angels watching over me I believe, I believe
Chorus That when you die your life goes on It doesn't end here when you're gone Every soul is filled with light It never ends and if I'm right Our love can even reach across eternity I believe, I believe
Forever, you're a part of me Forever, in the heart of me And I'll hold you even longer if I can The people who don't see the most Say that I believe in ghosts And if that makes me crazy, then I am 'Cause I believe
There are more than angels watching over me I believe, I believe

The Tower Of Song - Leonard Cohen
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on Im just paying my rent every day Oh in the tower of song
I said to hank williams: how lonely does it get? Hank williams hasnt answered yet But I hear him coughing all night long A hundred floors above me In the tower of song
I was born like this, I had no choice I was born with the gift of a golden voice And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond They tied me to this table right here In the tower of song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll Im very sorry, baby, doesnt look like me at all Im standing by the window where the light is strong Ah they dont let a woman kill you Not in the tower of song
Now you can say that Ive grown bitter but of this you may be sure The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor And theres a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong You see, you hear these funny voices In the tower of song
I see you standing on the other side I dont know how the river got so wide I loved you baby, way back when And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed But I feel so close to everything that we lost Well never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell, I dont know when Ill be back There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track But youll be hearing from me baby, long after Im gone Ill be speaking to you sweetly From a window in the tower of song Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on Im just paying my rent every day Oh in the tower of song

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me John/Taupin
I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find, oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

Very interesting lyrics these: the song runs on for most of one side of the album, if I recall correctly. Yeah, on vinyl. The last bit, and the music that goes with it, is Vangelis at his best.

Love You Out Loud lyrics by Rascal Flatts
*dedicated to the one that brings out the free in me*
I have always been a little shy I've always been the quiet type till now And I never let my feelings show I never let anybody know Just how much I was so deep in love But now that you're in my arms
[Chorus] I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop Baby, scream and shout I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video Baby, leave no doubt I want the whole world to know just what I'm all about I love to love you out loud
You keep bringing out the free in me What you do to my heart just makes me melt And I don't think I can resist But I've never been one to kiss and tell A love this true can't be subdued So I'm gonna let out a yell
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge] Baby, I want the whole world to see Just how good your love looks on me
[Repeat Chorus]
Baby, I love to love you out loud Yeah, I love to love you out loud

I Feel Free (Cream) By jack bruce and pete brown
Feel when I dance with you, We move like the sea. You, youre all I want to know. I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.
I can walk down the street, theres no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road; my eyes dont see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud.
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.
I can walk down the street, theres no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd. I can drive down the road; my eyes dont see, Though my mind wants to cry out loud, Though my mind wants to cry out loud.
Dance floor is like the sea, Ceiling is the sky. Youre the sun and as you shine on me, I feel free, I feel free, I feel free.

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl I could be happy the rest of my life With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl.

Your Bright Baby Blues. Jackson Browne
I'm sitting down by the highway Down by that highway side Everybody's going somewhere Riding just as fast as they can ride I guess they've got a lot to do Before they can rest assured Their lives are justified Pray to God for me baby He can let me slide
'Cause I've been up and down this highway Far as my eyes can see No matter how fast I run I can never seem to get away from me No matter where I am I can't help feeling I'm just a day away From where I want to be Now I'm running home baby Like a river to the sea
Baby if you can see me Out across this wilderness There's just one thing I was hoping you might guess Baby you can free me All in the power of your sweet tenderness
I can see it in your eyes You've got those bright baby blues You don't see what you've got to gain But you don't like to lose You watch yourself from the sidelines Like your life is a game you don't mind playing To keep yourself amused I don't mean to be cruel baby But you're looking confused
Baby if you can hear me Turn down your radio There's just one thing I want you to know When you've been near me I've felt the love stirring in my soul
It's so hard to come by That feeling of peace This friend of mine said "Close your eyes, and try a few of these" I thought I flying like a bird So far above my sorrow But when I looked down I was standing on my knees Now I need someone to help me Someone to help me please
Baby if you need me Like I know I need you There's just one thing I'll ask you to do Take my hand and lead me To the hole in your garden wall And pull me through

Loverman Lyrics
(Cave)
[Originally recorded by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]
There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?) There's a devil waiting outside your door It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls There's a devil waiting outside your door He's weak with evil and broken by the world He's shouting your name and he's asking for more There's a devil waiting outside your door
Loverman! Since the world began Forever, Amen Till end of time Take off that dress I'm coming down I'm your loverman Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
L is for LOVE, baby O is for ONLY you that I do V is for loving VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING that you are E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do R is for RAPE me M is for MURDER me A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to be the answer to all of yours
Loverman! Till the bitter end While empires burn down Forever and ever and ever and ever Amen I'm your loverman So help me, baby So help me Cause I am what I am what I am what I am I'll be your loverman!
There's a devil crawling along your floor There's a devil crawling along your floor With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door With his straining sex in his jumping paw There's a devil crawling along your floor And he's old and he's stupid and he's hungry and he's sore And he's blind and he's lame and he's dirty and he's poor ive him more There's a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen Cause I am what I am what I am what I am Forgive me, baby My hands are tied And I got no choice No, I got no choice at all
I'll say it again L is for LOVE, baby O is for O yes I do V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you E is for EVEN if you want me to R is for RENDER unto me, baby M is for that which is MINE A is for ANY old how, darling And N is for ANY old time
I'll be your loverman! I got a masterplan To take off your dress And be your man Seize the throne Seize the mantle Seize the crown Cause I am what I am What I am what I am I'm your loverman!
There's a devil lying by your side You might think he's asleep but look at his eyes He wants you, baby, to be his bride There's a devil lying by your side
Loverman! Loverman!

Life on Mars - David Bowie
It's a God awful small affairTo the girl with the mousey hair,But her mummy is yelling, "No!"And her daddy has told her to go,But her friend is no where to be seen.Now she walks through her sunken dreamTo the seats with the clearest viewAnd she's hooked to the silver screen,But the film is sadd'ning boreFor she's lived it ten times or more.She could spit in the eyes of foolsAs they ask her to focus onSailorsFighting in the dance hall.Oh man!Look at those cavemen go.It's the freakiest show.Take a look at the lawmanBeating up the wrong guy.Oh man!Wonder if he'll ever knowHe's in the best selling show.Is there life on Mars?It's on America's tortured browThat Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow.Now the workers have struck for fame'Cause Lennon's on sale again.See the mice in their million hordesFrom Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads.Rule Britannia is out of boundsTo my mother, my dog, and clowns,But the film is a sadd'ning bore'Cause I wrote it ten times or more.It's about to be writ againAs I ask you to focus onSailorsFighting in the dance hall.Oh man!Look at those cavemen go.It's the freakiest show.Take a look at the lawmanBeating up the wrong guy.Oh man!Wonder if he'll ever knowHe's in the best selling show.Is there life on Mars?

Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you You’re the one I sent it to, late last night I saw your picture, in my dreams You were broke down, but full of life I don’t know who you are I don’t even know your name But just the same Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Mr. Solider, I have a prayer for you I sent it to God, late last night He put it in your pocket, and in your heart May He get you, to morning’s light You may not know how much we care Cause we’re not there to ease your pain But just the same Mr. Solider, I have a prayer for you
I pray for your strength I pray for your safety I pray for your mama I pray for your daddy I pray for your sisters I pray for your brothers I pray for your wife Your husband, your sons and your daughters You may not come home to accolades You may not come home to parades But just the same Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you
Mr. Soldier, I have a prayer for you You’re the one I sent it to, late last night

How To Save A Life
The Fray
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

mary c. brown and the hollywood sign
by Dory Previn
you know the hollywood sign that stands in the hollywood hills i don't think the christ of the andes ever blessed so many ills the hollywood sign seems to smile like it's constantly saying cheese i doubt if the statue of liberty ever welcomed more refugees
give me your poor your tired your pimps you carhops your cowboys your midgets your chimps give me your freaks give me your flunkies your starlets your whores give me your junkies
mary cecilia brown rode to town on a malibu bus she climbed to the top of the hollywood sign and with the smallest possible fuss she jumped off the letter "h" 'cause she did not become a star she died in less than a minute and a half she looked a bit like hedy lamarr
sometimes i have this dream when the time comes for me to go i will hang myself from the hollywood sign from the second or third letter "o"
when mary cecilia jumped she finally made the grade her name was in the obituary column of both the daily trades
i hope the hollywood sign cries for the town it touches the lady of lourdes in her grotto saw fewer cripples and crutches
give me your poor your maladjusted your sick and your beat your sad and your busted give me your has-beens give me your twisted your loners your losers give me your black-listed
you know the hollywood sign witness to our confusion a symbol of dreams turns out to be a sign of disillusion.
