Wenches and Mead - Alestorm

When I come back from a mighty quest
I have no need for sleep or rest
I head to a tavern for a drink
And get so drunk I cannot think
A wench by my side and a jug of mead
These are the things that I most need
So I sit back and sing this song
And drink and party all night long

Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Hey! Hey!
More wenches and mead
Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Lots of wenches is what I need

When I come back from a mighty quest
I have no need for sleep or rest
I head to a tavern for a drink
And get so drunk I cannot think
A wench by my side and a jug of mead
These are the things that I most need
So I sit back and sing this song
And drink and party all night long

Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Hey! Hey!
More wenches and mead
Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Lots of wenches is what I need

Weekend Irish....by Barleyjuice

You see 'em dancin' with their flat caps on
Beware the Weekend Irish
Wavin' their banners and tippin' their drum
Beware the Weekend Irish
And the blood runs deep
When the booze is cheap
Long as you ain't got an agenda to keep
You can be a Weekend Irish, hey!
Aye, aye, we're the Weekend Irish

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, in a coat and tie
Beware the Weekend Irish
Thursday rolls around and me tongue is so dry
Beware the Weekend Irish
So we'll kiss the stone
Play our drones and bones
And call you Cousin Mick on his Kelly phone
'Cuz he's a Weekend Irish
Yeah we're the Weekend Irish, hey!

Aye, aye we're the weekend Irish
Aye, aye we're the weekend Irish

Draw me a shammy on the head o' me black
And I'll be a Weekend Irish
Ink me some tribal on the square o' me back
And we'll raise a hand
To the motherland
Best part of bein' an American
To be a Weekend Irish
To be a Weekend Irish, hey!

Aye, aye we're the weekend Irish
Aye, aye we're the weekend Irish!

Scottish Pirate Song.....

Henry Martin

There were three brothers in merry Scotland
In merry Scotland there were three...
And they did cast lots which of them should go,
Should go, should go,
And turn robber all on the salt seas

The lot it fell first unto Henry Martin,
Youngest of all of the three
That he should turn robber all on the salt seas,
The salt seas, the salt seas,
For to maintain his two brothers and he

He had not been sailing but a long winter's night
And part of a short winter's day
When he espied a stout lofty ship,
Lofty ship, lofty ship
Come abibing down on him straightway

"Hullo! Hullo!" Cried Henry Martin,
"What makes you sail so nigh?"
"I'm a rich merchant vessel bound for fair London town,
London town, London town,
Won't you please for to let me pass by?"

"Oh no, Oh no," cried Henry Martin,
"That thing it could never be,
For I am turned robber all on the salt seas,
The salt seas, the salt seas,
For to maintain my two brothers and me"

"Come lower your topsails and brail up your mizzen
And put yourselves under my lee,
Or I shall give to you a full flowing ball,
Flowing ball, flowing ball,
And your dear bodies drown in the salt sea"

"Oh no, we'll not lower our lofty topsails
Nor put ourselves under your lee,
And you shant take from us our rich merchant goods
Merchant goods, merchant goods,
Nor point our bold guns to the sea!"

For broadsides, for broadsides, and at it they went
For fully two hours or three
Till Henry Martin gave to her the deathshot,
The deathshot, the deathshot,
And straight to the bottom went she.

Sad news, sad news to England is come,
Sad news to fair London Town,
There's a rich merchant vessel and she's cast away
Cast away, cast away,
And all of her merry men drowned.

There were three brothers in merry Scotland,
In merry Scotland there were three
And they did cast lots which of them should go,
Should go, should go
And turn robber all on the salt seas....

Demetrius--you asked me about this song once before. Found it.
So..this is for you.   ;)


walked away before
There were too many storms
We could not get through
But I still kept loving you
Now fate brought you back to me
This time I won't let you leave
I'm holding on to you, forever,
I'm never letting go
The time I spent away from you
was time that made me see
I need to live this life with you
I need you here with me

Thanks Welsh Wench- I went to see Heart just recently- still rockin'. How about...  ;)

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...

For your best young years you'll be doin' time
You'll be doin' time to fit your crime

Well, this is me cell and I'lll call it home
for ten long years what ya think about that?
I'd give you a tour and show you around
But there ain't enough room for to swing a cat

For your best young years you'll be doin' time
You'll be doin' time to fit your crime

The very first thing that you learn in jail
Is to keep your eyes and your mouth shut too
For the grouse is the one they all hate most
and you better be sure that it isn't you.

For your best young years you'll be doin' time
You'll be doin' time to fit your crime

Some days I think of the world outside
and the things I miss both big and small
and there's blood on me fist, and a few choice words
and a couple of red marks on the wall...

When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

Invy

Sisters, brothers and the whities
Blacks and the crackers
Police and their backers
They're all political actors

Hurry
People running from their worries
While the judge and the juries
Dictate the law that's partly flaw
Cat calling, love balling, fussing and cussing
Top billing now is killing
For peace no-one is willing
Kind of make you get that feeling

Everybody smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke
Use the pill and the dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
Educated fools
From uneducated schools
Pimping people is the rule
Polluted water in the pool
And Nixon talking about don't worry, worry, worry, worry
He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry
He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry
He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry

But they don't know
There can be no show
And if there's a hell below
We're all gonna go, go, go, go, go

Everybody's praying
And everybody's saying
But when come time to do
Everybody's laying

Just talking about don't worry, worry, worry, worry
They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry
They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry
They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry

Youth of the Nation

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

[chorus:]
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

[chorus]
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

[chorus]
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Demetrius

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

Come Sail Away
Styx

I'm sailing away
set an open course for the virgin sea
cause I've got to be free
free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
we'll search for tomorrow on every shore
and I'll try, oh lord, I'll try
to carry on!

I look to the sea
reflections in the waves spark my memories, some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
we lived happily forever so that story goes
but somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
but we'll try best that we can
to carry on!

a gathering of angels
appeared above my head
they sang to me this song of hope
and this is what they said

they said
come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me, lads

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me

i thought that they were angels but much to my surprise
we climbed aboard their star-ship we headed for the skies,
singing

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me

come sail away
come sail away
come sail away with me
