words and music Andrew McKee

It was twelve days ago in a pub. Night was near.
I was on me fourth pint of their best Irish beer
When a thought quickly struck me of all I hold dear.
So I went on outside to the hill with my beer.

    Well, I smelled all the flowers,
    I've left none to behind.
    I've told more the truth than I've told fib or lie
    And I hope when you find me in the hills where I'll lie
    That it'll always be said that I died satisfied.

Well, I took both the good and the bad in me life.
And I made the most of it in a home with me wife.
And I raised me two kids both a girl and a boy.
And they made all me life, oh, a gift to enjoy.

As for friends I've had many I ne're walked alone,
And a few were like family just as much as me own
They helped in times troubled and made happiness known.
And they gave me a young heart I've never outgrown,

Well, the evening was leaving and the sun said goodbye.
I thought of me past and I smiled with a sigh.
Oh, I had no regrets nay a reason to cry.
So I drank me beer down 'till the glass all was dry.

[Welsh Wench]

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

Ooh you made me love you
Ooh youve got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall

A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love....

Hi, Demetrius! 

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

You're doin' all you can to get in them old jeans.
You want that body back, you had at seventeen.
Baby, don't get down; don't worry 'bout a thing.
'Cause the way you fill 'em out, hey, that's all right with me.
I don't want the girl you used to be.
An' if you ain't noticed, the kids are fast asleep,

An' you're one hot mama;
You turn me on, let's turn it up,
An' turn this room into a sauna.
One hot mama,
Oh, whaddya say, baby?
You wanna?

Well, I know sometimes you think that all you really are,
Is the woman with the kids an' the groceries in the car.
An' you worry about your hips an' you worry about your age.
Meanwhile I'm tryin' to catch the breath you take away.
Oh, an' believe me, you still do.
Baby, all I see, when I look at you,

Is one hot mama;
You turn me on, let's turn it up,
An' turn this room into a sauna.
One hot mama,
Oh, whaddya say, baby?
You wanna?

Instrumental break.

I can't imagine me lovin' someone else.
I'm a lucky man,
I think Daddy's got himself,

One hot mama;
You turn me on, let's turn it up,
An' turn this room into a sauna.
One hot mama,
Oh, whaddya say, babe?
Oh, now whaddya say, babe?
You wanna?

You're one hot mama,
Let's turn this room into a sauna, yeah.
Whaddya say, babe?
Whaddya say, babe?

Hi, Demetrius! 

I remember when this song came out a friend of mine carried his 10CC album around with him like a blanket. I still don't know if 10CC is really the, uh, average quantity or not, but I've always found it interesting someone may have actually taken the effort to find out.

Thanks WW, a great song- and Jeff probably isn't aware of what he's missing! 

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't supposed to make sense

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

Forget mathematical equations
Self help psychology
Gray matter don't matter much darlin`
When it's gettin` down to you and me

This ain't no thinkin` thing, right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There's nothin` that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing

There's nothing that we need to analyze
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin` thing
This ain't, no this ain't no thinkin` thing...

I like that! Not much of a country fan, but I definitely get the message of it... especially lately!  LOL

River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Thanks WW, a great song- and Jeff probably isn't aware of what he's missing! 

Demetrius, cc and mL are the same thing.
As far as Jeff....

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

She's my kind of rain
Like love in a drunken sky
She's confetti falling
Down all night

She sits quietly there
Like water in a jar
Says, "Baby why are you
Trembling like you are?"

So I wait
And I try
I confess like a child

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's the sunset shadows
She's like Rembrandt's light
She's the history that's made at night
She's my lost companion
She's my dreaming tree
Together in this brief eternity
Summer days, winter snows
She's all things to behold

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

So I wait
And I try
I confess all my crimes

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Oh, rain on me
She's my kind of rain

Ohhh... thanks. I thought cc was French and mL meant "minor league."  oops.   
There ought to be a song about this. I'm not Lisa, My name is Julie... except with Jeff involved.

[Welsh Wench]

Tell me who you long for
In your secret dreams
Go on and tell me who you wish I was
Instead of me

I'm not necessarily
The girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be carefree
A Peace Corps trainee
your Gypsy Rose Lee
To please you

Who cares what I might be for real
Underneath my games
I'll let you chose from a thousand faces
And a thousand names

I'm not necessarily
the girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be insane
A mathematical brain
You Tarzan, me Jane
To please you

I'm not necessarily
The girl you think you see
Whoever you want is exactly who
I'm more than willing to be
I'll be a queen
A foul-mouthed marine
Your Mary Magdalene
to please you

*Demetrius, I'd be Lisa or Julie or even the girl he thinks he cc's for Jeff! Or even Mary Magdalene....*

 Always by Garth Horsfield on the first Immaculata album


The fiery skies are black tonight
as boiling smoke blocks out the light
Monstrous machine of industry
it's always hungry
The deaf and blind with dreams unknown
with silent cries are carted home
to a loveless box they call their own
a living graveyard.

A toxic rainfall from the clouds
an acid blanket coming down
even the rich don't smile now as they count their money
Their fevered souls toil on in vain
as planet Earth cries out in pain
nature hangs her head in shame that we've forgotten
Mother
Father

Never of freedom, always of desire
Always from the pan into the fire
Gone is our laughter, lost way back in time
Gone our only reason to survive

The gods of old have gone away
and pious fools sit in their place
They'd damn us all to save their face
I don't believe them
A crumbling nation's foolish pride
in death resorts to genocide
If ego lives we won't survive

I'd rather die than lose my way
I'd rather fall than have to say
this numbness crept into my day
I was becoming
Never of freedom, always of desire
Always from the pan into the fire
Gone is our laughter lost way back in time
Gone our right to keep this race alive.

The sleepers in their sleep sublime
they'd better wake cos we're out of time
and no-one's come to save the world
as darkness in our souls unfurls
In the depths of eternity
our tiny world, an island floating
in a vast uncharted sea
Why destroy this beauty?

[Libby Stella]

Frog Kissin' - Brobdingnagian Bards (what can I say, I love their music)

Do you remember in the fairy tale, how the wicked witches spell
Turned the handsome prince to a toad?
By the power of a potion, she handed him the notion
He was lower than the dirt in the road.
And though she left him green and warted, her evil plans were thwarted
Their chanced to happen by a young miss
Who inspite of his complexion, offered him affection
And broke the wicked curse with her kiss

    So if you've never been frog kissing
    Then you don't know what you've been missin',
    There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log.
    And if you've never been charm-breakin',
    Then you've never been handsome prince makin'.
    You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
    Kiss you a frog!

Once upon a time ago, I was down and feelin' low
Like a lonely frog in a pond
My life was just a joke, and I was just about to croak
Cuz I'd be zapped by life's wicked wand.
But in the depths of my depression, there came a true expression
Of love from a person so sweet.
She gave me warm fuzzy feelings, feelings that were healin'
And she knocked me off my little webbed feet.

There's a happy-ever-after-land, deep in the heart of man
Where a prince and princess abides.
But all we get are glimpses, of the happy prince or princess
'Cauce they're covered with a green warty hide.
Though they're full of life's potential, they're lacking one essential
To enable them to shine like a star.
That's a handsome guy or missus, to smother them with kisses
And love them just the way that they are.

    That's the secret of frog kissing
    You can do it too if you'll just listen
    There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log.
    That's the secret of charm-breakin',
    That's the secret of handsome prince makin'.
    You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
    Kiss you a...
    You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
    Kiss you a...
    You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
    Kiss you a frog!

Totally diggin' these guys lately!!
Don't read anything into it, the lyrics aren't aimed at anyone! 

And yes, it's all done with cellos.

[Lady L]

My friend played this on his guitar and sang  on Sun.
It was so beautiful, I cried. It's an old hymn, sad and lonely, but lovely.

"In the Bleak Midwinter"

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood

Hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow had fallen

Snow on snow

Snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter

Long ago



Our god

Heaven cannot hold him

Nor earth sustain

Heaven and Earth

Shall flee away

When he comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter

A stable place sufficed

The lord God almighty

Jesus Christ



Angels and archangels

May have gathered there

Cherubim and seraphim

Thronged the air

But his mother only

In her maiden bliss

Worshiped the beloved

With a kiss



What can I give him

Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd

I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man

I would do my part

Yet

What I can I give him

Give my heart
