JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Lowlands



(Traditional)



We sailed out of Dunmore Michelmas gone by

Cowhides and wool and live cargo

Twenty young Wild Geese ready fledged to fly

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



Sean Rouse the skipper from the church of Crook

Piery keeps log for his father

Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



Ready with priming we'd our galliot gun

Muskets and pikes in good order

We should be riddled captives would be none

Death or else the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Death or else the lowlands low



A pirate approached us many leagues from shore

We fought and we sunk him in good order

He'll go a-roving plundering no more

Sailing for the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing for the lowlands low



We smuggled out the Wild Geese weapons safe ashore

Then we unloaded our cargo

A fair wind is blowing we're headed for Dunmore

Sailing from the lowlands low



The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing from the lowlands low

The lowlands low, the lowlands low

Sailing from the lowlands low


BEE GEES lyrics - Heart Like Mine



Night grows cold

I've been lonely so much

Out of reach

Save it only for me

Nothing in life is the same

And the sooner we stop to start



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe you can hide your face forever

God knows it's true

That when you search for someone

There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine

To be heard



Souls on fire

Feel her voice in your ear

She goes on

Living only for me

Nothing you say could be wrong

'Cause you give me the lovers sign



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe we can share it all forever

But not 'til we do

I'm gonna search for someone

There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine

To be heard



And baby are we waking up together

'Cause God knows it's you

If there is love for someone



And there's a heart like mine

Somewhere in this world

There's a heart like mine

Beating but left to burn



Maybe we can share it all forever

But not 'til we do

I'm gonna search for someone



There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine



To be heard



There's a heart like mine

There's a heart like mine


KRIS KRISTOFFERSON lyrics - Chase The Feeling



It takes one to know one, baby

I know how you feel

You got your hunger

And some problems that are real



And you're dealing with some demons

Who are driving you insane

And I've seen them drag you screaming

Down the hallways of your brain



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die



Let it right on in there, baby

Let it run your life

Let it run your children off

And let it run your wife



Let it take the joy you love

And turn it to despair

You knew you knew better, baby

You just didn't care



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die



Blame it on the moonlight, baby

Think of number one

Tangled up in two

When you were shining like the sun



With a pretty piece of hunger

Who was younger than her eyes

On the scale of cosmic thunder

It's a wonder you're alive



And you got loaded again

Ain't you handsome when you're high

Nothing matters

Chase the feeling 'til you die


OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Lullaby



(Duncan)



I give you stars and sunshine

A rainbow at your feet each time you rise

So dry your eyes

The house of yesterday is crumblin' at my feet

But I don't mind, I had my time



I am but yesterday

And you my child, tomorrow

There's nothing I can give you

For you have more than me

You are the truth within your youth



I watch you dance and playing

The little prince of all that you survey

Each night, each day

I am the good old days,

And you my child, tomorrow



If I have any future

It is within your eyes

Each time you smile

My child, my child

The hand of life will rock you

I brought you forth

And then my task was through

I give to you

This wondrous view



I am but yesterday

And you my child, tomorrow

And you my child, tomorrow

And you my child, tomorrow


GREG BROWN lyrics - Pound It On Down



Catfish ain't bitin', water ain't flowin',

River's so low you can walk clean across.

I'm all through travelin', home's where your hat is,

I ain't got no hat, and I ain't got no boss.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



I loved some women more than I should have,

I loved some others less than was right.

Some loved me madly, and some done me badly,

I'm drinkin' one drink for each one tonight.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



I got an old boat sets low in the water,

I built it myself out of riverbank junk.

When I am gone, throw my old bones in,

Cut the rope, kick the boat, buddy, I'm sunk.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.



Pound it on down, pound it on down,

Pound it on down, deep in the ground.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Disease Of Conceit



There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people struggling tonight from the disease of conceit

Comes right down the highway straight down the line

Rips into your senses through your body and your mind

Nothing about it that's sweet

The disease of conceit.



There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit

Steps into your room eats into your soul

Over your senses you have no control

Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit.



There's a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit

Comes right out of nowhere and you're down for the count

From the outside world the pressure will mount

Turn you into a piece of meat

The disease of conceit.



Conceit is the disease that the doctors got no cure

They've done a lot of research on it but what it is they're still not sure



There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit

Whole lot of people seeing double tonight from the disease of conceit

Give you delusions of grandeur and evil eye

Give you the idea that you're too good to die

Then they bury you from your head to your feet

From the disease of conceit.

BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - We Can Change



(R. Nowels/C. Caffey)



In my head I hear a haunting melody

It reminds me of the way things used to be

There was a time when we had everything

We gotta stop living in that dream



No nothing remains the same

We can't hold on but baby, baby

We can change



Oh - we can change anything we want to yeah

Oh - we can change the world

And make it better

But first we gotta change together now

Oh baby baby we can change



There's a message in the falling rain outside

There's a message in the tears falling from your eyes

I swear we don't have to hurt anymore

Throw the old ways out and close the door



No, nothing remains the same

We can't hold on but baby, baby

We can change



Baby, when you're trapped something snaps

And you start to die

Living all those years with our fears and

You wonder why
