The Cure – Friday I’m in Love

May 31, 2013 at 8:05 am Comments off


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa2nLEhUcZ0

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s gray, and Wednesday too!
Thursday i don’t care about you;
it’s Friday, I’m in love!

Monday you can fall apart,
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start;
it’s Friday, I’m in love!

Saturday wait
Sunday always comes too late,
but Friday never hesitate…

I don’t care if Monday’s black.
Tuesday, Wednesday: heart attack.
Thursday never looking back;
it’s Friday, I’m in love!

Monday you can hold your head.
Tuesday, Wednesday: stay in bed
or Thursday watch the walls instead;
it’s Friday, I’m in love!

Saturday wait.
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate!

Dressed up to the eyes,
it’s a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise!
Throw out your frown,
just smile at the sound
sleek as a shriek,
spinning round and round.
Always take a big bite;
it’s such a gorgeous sight
To see you here-ah
in the middle of the night
You can never get enough,
enough of this stuff
It’s Friday, I’m in love!

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s gray, and Wednesday too!
Thursday, I don’t care about you;
it’s Friday, I’m in love!

Monday, you can fall apart.
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart.
Thursday doesn’t even start,
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Oyster Band – Hal-An-Tow

March 16, 2013 at 5:37 am Comments off


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u6tUFPO1P4

Take the scorn and wear the horns,
it was the crest when you were born.
Your father’s father wore it
and your father wore it too!

Robin Hood and Little John,
they’ve both gone to the fair-o.
Well, we shall to the merry green wood
To hunt the buck and hare-o

Hal-an-Tow!
Jolly rum below!
We were up long before the day-o
to welcome in the summertime,
to welcome in the May-o.
Summer is coming in
and winter’s gone away.

What happened to the Spaniards
That made so great a boast-o?
They shall eat the feathered goose,
we shall eat the roast-o!

Hal-an-Tow!
Jolly rum below!
We were up long before the day-o
to welcome in the summertime,
to welcome in the May-o.
Summer is coming in
and winter’s gone away.

God bless Aunt Mary Moses
with all her pow’r and might-o.
Well, send us peace in England.
Send us peace day and night-o.

Hal-an-Tow!
Jolly rum below!
We were up long before the day-o
to welcome in the summertime,
to welcome in the May-o.
Summer is a-coming in
and winter’s gone away.

Hal-an-Tow!
Jolly rum below!
We were up long before the day-o
to welcome in the summertime,
to welcome in the May-o.
Summer is a-coming in
and winter’s gone away.
It’s gone away…
It’s gone away…
Winter’s gone away…
Winter’s gone away…
Winter’s gone away…
Winter’s gone away…

Green and Red of Mayo

March 15, 2013 at 3:27 am Comments off


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_5nP9VKxbQ

Oh, the green and red of Mayo
I can see it still:
its soft and craggy boglands,
its tall majestic hills,
where the ocean kisses over Ireland
the waves caress its shore.
Oh, the feeling it came over me
to stay forever more…forever more.

From its rolling coastal waters,
I can see Croagh Patrick’s peak.
Where one Sunday every summer
the pilgrims climb the reek.
Where Saint Patrick in his solitude
looked down across Clew Bay
and with a ringing of his bell,
called the faithful
there to pray…there to pray.

Oh, take me to Clare Island,
the home of Gráinne Mhaol.
Its waters harbor fishes
from the herring to the whale.
And now I must depart it
and reality is plain.
May the time not pass slowly
b’fore I set sail again…set sail again

Oh, the green and red of Mayo
I can see it still:
its soft and craggy boglands,
its tall majestic hills,
where the ocean kisses over Ireland
the waves caress its shore.
Oh, the feeling it came over me
to stay forever more…forever more.
Stay forever more

Oh, the green and red of Mayo…
Oh, the green and red of Mayo…
Oh, the green and red of Mayo…
Oh, the green and red of Mayo…

Whatever You Say, Say Nothing

March 12, 2013 at 5:43 am Comments off


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pns4Aq-RNs

Whatever you say, say nothing, when you speak about you-know-what.
For if you know who should hear you, you know what you’ll get.
They’ll take you off to you-know-where for you wouldn’t know how long
So for you-know-who’s sake, don’t let anyone hear you singing this song.

You all know what I’m speaking of when I mention you-know-what,
and I fear it’s very dangerous to even mention that.
For the other, it is always there, although you may not see.
But if anyone asks who told you that, please don’t mention me

And whatever you say, say nothing, when you speak about you-know-what.
For if you know who should hear you, you know what you’ll get.
They’ll take you off to you-know-where for you wouldn’t know how long
So for you-know-who’s sake, don’t let anyone hear you singing this song.

And you all know who I’m speaking of when I mention you-know-who.
And you-know-who could hear hear me now, you know what he’d do.
So if you don’t see me again, you’ll know why I’m away,
but if anyone asks you where I’ve gone, here’s what you must say:

Whatever you say, say nothing, when you speak about you-know-___.
For if you know who should hear you, you know what you’ll get.
They’ll take you off to you-know-where for you wouldn’t know how ___
So for you-know-who’s sake, don’t let anyone hear you singing this ___.

Well, that’s enough about so-and-so, not to mention such-and-such.
I’d better end my song now; I’ve already said too much.
For the less you say and the less you hear, the less you’ll go astray.
And the less you think and the less you do, the more you’ll hear them say:

Whatever you say, say nothing, when you speak about you-know-___.
For if you know who should hear you, you know what you’ll ____.
They’ll take you off to you-know-where for you wouldn’t know how ____

So for you-know-who’s sake, don’t let anyone hear you singing this song.

Lucky Bones – Alice

November 1, 2012 at 5:15 pm Comments off


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeP9tpq9C6Q#!

Can I you call up, oh,
Alice on a Friday night?
We could reminisce on old days,
we could talk a while
sit and talk a while.
Been so long since I’ve seen you,
it’s nearly ten years gone.
Heard in April that you passed through,
why didn’t you call?
Don’t I deserve a call?

This ain’t no love song, baby,
or sad farewell.
You’ve been on my mind lately,
I hope Alice, dear, you are well.

I’m still ramblin’ ’round the world
with my songs in this guitar.
Never got to sell one million
I’m simply ending bars,
these shady dim-lit bars.

Though I heard it in the grapevine
you’re to marry soon.
All my love fell by the wayside.
I guess that I’m a fool,
a lonely ramblin’ fool.

But if I meet you somewhere
far down the line,
the sun still shines in your hair,
I kiss you once,
and Alice, say “Goodbye.”
Yeah, if I meet you someplace
far down the line,
the sun still shines in your face,
I’ll kiss you once,
Then Alice, say “Good night.”
Then Alice, say “Good night.”

We Found Love…

October 26, 2012 at 9:42 am Comments off

Here’s a couple of talented kids having fun with Rihanna’s “We Found Love.”


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sckIDFNEjRY

Yellow diamonds in the light.
we were standing side by side.
As your shadow crosses mine,
What it takes to come alive.

The way I’m feeling
I just can’t deny
But you gotta let it go
oOOooo
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We found love.
It was hopeless
And I try hard
and you know this
’cause I wrote this
’cause I mean it!

And every time that you call me
tell me how much you feel it
‘Cause you been feeling so lonely
‘Cause you m’girl you my gotta have it,
you never seem so satisfied.
Those are some feelings you never show
So, i’m not sure if your down or right,
or off of me or on.
‘Cause I miss you whenever you’re gone
So, whenever you thinkin’ of leaving,
just listen to the words of this song,
please!

We found,
we found,
we found
love.
We found,
we found,
we found
love.
We found,
we found,
we found
love
in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
we were standing side by side.
As a shadow crosses mine
what it takes to come alive.
~Rihanna (and some kids)

Robb Murphy – On My Side

May 22, 2012 at 9:15 am Comments off


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwRfm6XaBcQ

I’ll pull away my full embrace.
I’ve got a picture of your face
in the car on the back of the seat.
Come up and see me for a while!
We will talk and I will smile.
It will be the best part of my day.

I don’t wanna steer the conversation
to what I wanna say,
but I’ve got an act to keep up, dear.
I’ve got an act to keep up, dear!
I’m gonna break tonight,
I can hear it in my head.
Gonna say the words
that are pounding in my heart.
If we get it right tonight
I don’t wanna let it slide.
I’m gonna take a chance
and have ya on my side.

And what I’m tryin’ to say is easy.
‘Cause we’ve been
hanging ’round for months,
and I feel us getting close.
But I’m fearful I may fracture
something good.
I don’t wanna take a chance,
but I need to take a stand.
I need to take a stand!

So, I’ll try to steer the conversation
to what I wanna say,
but I’ve got an act to keep up, dear.
I’ve got an act to keep up, dear!
I’m gonna break tonight,
I can hear it in my head.
Gonna say the words
that are pounding in my heart.
If we get it right tonight,
I don’t wanna let it slide.
I’m gonna take a chance
and have ya on my side.

‘Cause we’ve got tonight to make it happen.
We’ve got our lives to see it through.
Let’s make the most of it together,
livin’ the way we’re meant to do.
So, I’ll try to steer the conversation
to what I wanna say,
but I’ve got an act to keep up, dear.
I’ve got an act to keep up, dear!

We’ve got tonight to make it happen.
We’ve got our lives to see it through.
Let’s make the most of it together,
livin’ the way we’re meant to do.
This is the time for us to change,
this is the time for me and you.
This is the time for us to change,
this is the time for me and you.

Leanne Harte – Wrote Away

May 10, 2012 at 12:29 pm Comments off


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHrUXhkNI1k

Wrote away your cloudy day
Then, the sun blinded
And every piece of evidence
you tried hiding.

Oh, I can’t be your warrior
and I’m too weak to fight you.
So, maybe we’ll just leave this place
behind.

Sat on sand for years and years
’cause we had time then.
And when you made your promises
I thought they were binding.

Now, I can’t be your follower.
I don’t believe in you.
So, maybe it’s just time to say
goodbye.
Goodby-eye-eye-eye.
Goodby-eye-eye eye-oh.
Goodby-eye-eye eye-oh.

There’ll be a day when all this ends
and you might remember
the feelings that you felt back then
start of December.
The snow might melt
the winds might change
and you might start fighting.
But baby I won’t hold my breath
this time.
This ti-eye-eye-m
This ti-eye-eye-m-oh
This ti-eye-eye-m-oh
This ti-eye-eye-m
This ti-eye-eye-m-oh

Brian Fallon – It’s Just the Blues, Mary

May 4, 2012 at 11:39 pm Comments off

I learned how to hammer
in the burning August sun.
I learned how lie and cheat,
how to steal and just how to run.
I fell asleep most nights
with somebody else’s
blood on my tongue, your tongue.
You learned just how to run.

But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.

You learned how to cry
in them lonesome September nights.
I learned to get by
with the dogs, and the dirt,
and the charm of the street.
I fell asleep most nights
with your pictures
right behind my eyes, your eyes.
The killer and the victim arrive
right at the same time.

But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.

But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.

The cause for smile
is bright like the ramparts on the Fourth of July.
And my baby swings like a boxer,
and send her right hooks on’na my chin.
She cries like a baby,
and she wears me just like a ring.
She cries like a baby,
and she wears me just like a ring.

Learned how to swagger,
I learned how to hold you
while your body burned.
Learned how to compromise
while this whirlwind hurricane turned.
We fell asleep most nights
with each others’ blood on our tongues.
My love, if you ever just had enough,

But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.
But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.
And it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…
I’m somewhere over the rainbow for you.

But it’s just the blues, Mary,
the blues,
swirling around my head
like your dreams in Dorothy’s shoes…

Wolfe Tones – First of May

May 1, 2012 at 11:29 am Comments off


www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGTAsYztlMM

When we were small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to laugh while others used to play.
don’t ask me why, but time has passed me by.
Someone else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small,
and you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never ever die,
and guess who’ll cry come First of May!

The apple tree that grew for you and me.
I watch the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheeks and you were gone.

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small,
and you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never ever die,
and guess who’ll cry come First of May!

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small,
and you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never ever die,
and guess who’ll cry come First of May!

And guess who’ll cry come First of May.
~The Bee Gees performed by The Wolfe Tones
