And I'll set my sails of silver
And I'll steer toward the sun
And you false love shall weep for me
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm GONE!
~
Sally's in the alley, Nancy's on the gain,
Emma Lee's pregnant, wondering who to blame...

Some say the devil is dead, the devil is dead, the devil is dead
Some say the devil is dead and buried in Killarney.
More say he rose again, more say he rose again, more say he rose again
And joined the British Ar-my.
~
She became a star, a star all in the night,
And he became a thundercloud and bundled her out of sight.
~
She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white,
And he became a canted priest and prayed for her by night.
~
Dance, dance, the shaking of the sheets
Dance, dance, when you hear the pi-per.
Lady, everyone must dance,
The shaking of the sheets with me.
~
Dance, dance, wherever you may be,
For I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
~
Dance, dance, dance with me
Round and round the greenwood tree.
Dance, dance, while you may,
Tomorrow is your dying day
Dance with me!
~
I'll dance upon your grave a twelvemonth and a day
I'll do as much for you, as any maiden may.
I'll make you rue the very day you were born
I'm a bonnie brown girl...
~
Beneath these hills great heroes lie
Of the Red Branch Knights and their ancient foe.
In still of night the immortals fight
But never the battle is won.
~
And so the harper was told these fairy tales,
Of these fairy hills of the ancient Gaels
Some big, some small
Si bheag, si mhor,
And never the battle is won.
~
The green hills of Ulster, the white causeway high
The beacon of Warshal throws its flame to the sky
The hunt and the threat let the coward abjure
Our hope is in God and in Rory O'Moore!
~
And it's hey boys, can't you code it? *huh*
Program it right;
Nothing ever happens in this life of mine,
I'm hauling out the data on the Xerox line.
~
There's something in my garden, it's been there for a week.
I tried to feed it crackers, but that only made it squeak.
I tried to wash its scaly head, but all it did was cry,
So I think I'll put it back to bed, and sing it a lullaby:
A monster's lullaby:
~
For no cage was ever made to hold a creature such as he,
No chain was ever forged to bind the wind.
And when I think upon all the scars he left on me,
The cruelest are the ones I bear within.
~
I once was a giant but now I'm a craven,
My dirge is of white sheep and the black raven.
~
Be not a beauty proud or vain,
For mortal maid it will be your bane.
~
To Aphrodite sworn was I,
But how could I a god deny?
~
Prowl, run, howl at the full moon
I can't do it right, don't know why I try.
Soon the moon will be rising
Oh woe is the life of a werewolf.
~
Leave Calvin and the Bible to the parish o' Dunbar.
Give a blind man back his eyes to find the brightest o' the stars.
Then lead him to the altar of a better God by far
In the vale of the redwood cathedral.
~
For all the gold Ewan Gillies ever found
Could not buy him peace and freedom
From the memory of the sound
Of the waves on St. Kilda's rocky shore.
~
They made his home a living grave
Until the bravest of the brave
Was forced to leave the poorest of the poor.
~
For God made Ewan Gillies
God gave him wings to fly
But only from the land where he belonged.
But I'd fight with God himself
For the light in Ewan's eye
Or any man who tells me he was wrong.
~
Do not look upon this glass,
Lest your soul from this world pass
This legend burned upon its case
You dare not see the mirror's face.
~
And I'll arise, to the stars,
Golden feathers and flame I'll fly.
I'll touch your dreams in the dark,
Remember the glory that time passed by.
~
Humans humans pay your dues
As never before you get to choose;
Become like us or fight and lose,
Great Ones evermore.
Powers evermore.
~
A dream of a meme
is a wonderful theme
or so we always do deem;
But a ream in a beam
causes termites to teem
or so it to me does seem.
~
Adrenaline man, adrenaline man,
Doing the things adrenaline can.
Is he awake?  It's not important.
