U2 with The Dubliners, Kila, A Band of Bowsies - The Ballad Of Ronnie Drew

Here’s to the Ronnie, the voice we adore
Like coals from a coal bucket scraping the floor
Sing out his praises in music and malt
And if you’re not Irish, that isn’t your fault

Raise up our voices like dogs in a pack
Thankful for honest men, we never lack
We got ‘em by twenties, we got ‘em by ones
Them and their daughters and all of their sons

Hey! Brobadobadingnag
Hey! Brobadobadingnag

Here’s to you / Hey! / Ronnie Drew / Hey!
Here’s to you / Hey! / Ronnie Drew / Hey!
Ronnie Drew / Hey! Hey! / we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you

And what’s it to any man whether or no’
Whether I’m easy or whether I’m true
As I lifted her petticoat easy and slow
And I tied up me sleeve for to buckle her shoe

Get up and go at it five until five
When the whistle says beat it, we’ll come back alive
He’ll sing to the heavens, he’s stormy as hell
And wherever he goes, we’ll be wishing him well

Hey! Brobadobadingnag
Hey! Brobadobadingnag

Here’s to you / Hey! / Ronnie Drew / Hey!
Here’s to you / Hey! / Ronnie Drew / Hey!
Ronnie Drew / Hey! / Ronnie Drew, we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you

The dawn and the dust, the unwise, the unjust
Kids in gangland games
The unheard, the unseen, the unwashed, and the clean
Where the streets all have names
Baggot Street, Leeson Street, right on to Stephen’s Green
Lovers and loners who can hear all intoners
The gods and the ravers, immigrants and traders
Sing out Ronnie…

An eye for an eye or a hand for a hand
Trust in the music, strike up the band
The more that we sing, the less that we fight
Time and again this is proved to be right

Build you a statue on St. Stephen’s Green
No fairer monument e’re to be seen
The statue of Ronnie Drew holding the hand
Of a girl with her hair in a black velvet band

Hey! Brobadobadingnag
Hey! Brobadobadingnag

Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew (No stranger to devils or angels tell)
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew (A friend of a friend of a friend, and a, a friend to you)
Ronnie Drew (Ronnie Drew), we love you, yes we do
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew (Ronnie Drew), here’s to you (here’s to you)
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you (Ronnie Drew)
Here’s to you, Ronnie Drew, here’s to you (Ronnie Drew)

What’s it to any man whether or no’
Whether I’m easy or whether I’m true
And as she lifted her petticoat easy and slow
And I rolled up my sleeve for to buckle her shoe

Coldplay - In My Place

In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn’t change

I was lost, oh yeah

And I was lost, I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed

I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

For it

I was scared, I was scared

Tired and under-prepared

But I wait for it

And if you go, if you go

And leave me down here on my own

Then I’ll wait for you, yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

For it

Sing it please, please, please

Come back and sing to me

To me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now

Come on and sing it out

To me, me

Come back and sing

In my place, in my place

Were lines that I couldn’t change

I was lost, oh yeah

Oh yeah

Vampire Weekend - Walcott

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, Mystic Seaport is that way

Don't you know that your life could be lost

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, the bottleneck is a shit show

Hyannisport is a ghetto

Out of Cape Cod tonight

The lobster's claw is sharp as knives

Evil feasts on human lives

The Holy Roman Empire roots for you

Walcott, all the way to New Jersey

All the way to the Garden State

Out of Cape Cod tonight

Walcott, fuck the women from Wellfleet

Fuck the bears out in Provincetown

Heed my words and take flight

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?

Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod

Out of Cape Cod tonight?

The Gathering - In Motion #1

Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death...

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear
Touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me
Passing by...

PJ Harvey - Hanging In The Wire

Walker sees the mist rise

over a no-man’s-land.

He sees in front of him

a smashed up waste-ground.

There are no fields or trees.

No blades of grass.

Just unburied ghosts

hanging in the wire.

Walker’s in the wire,

limbs pointing upwards.

There are no birds singing

The White Cliffs of Dover.

There are no trees to sing from.

He cannot hear the wind.

Far off, a symphony.

Do you hear the guns beginning?

James Walker’s in the mist rising

over no-man’s-land,

in the battered waste-ground,

the big guns firing.

The Doors - Tightrope Ride

You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side

Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home

Don't go over the line. You better keep on time

Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride

Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!

You better get your balance, you have to feel the way

There are no more questions, no answers today

There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes

But if you feel it, you can fly next time

You can fly next time, or maybe this time

Did you think we were all together?

Did you think we were all the same?

Did you think maybe I could help you

Remember your name, remember the game

What's the name of the game

It's a very good game, never stays the same

It's the number one from mud to sun

You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side

But you're all alone, and we're going home

And we're by your side, but you're all alone

Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones

On a tightrope ride

U2 - City of Blinding Lights [Hot Chip 2006 Remix]

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time

Iron Maiden - Hell On Earth

Beginning of a sunrise bores a big hole in the sky
Not to reason why that
Armed children are in this world
And fighting in the name of god's way
Mourning bleak and utter waste
The vanity of the world is assured now

Prey upon the weak no more
The spirits of those who are gone
Propaganda of the battles
That are lost or won

And count your blessings still alive
Of those who managed to survive
Inside oblivion of that hell on earth

All you have been, all you have seen
Lost in somewhere in your dreams

How the angels they have fallen
All is nothing what it seems

In the voices that you hear now
In the voices in your head
Now are thinking of a lifetime
You can never feel again

I wish I could go back
Will never be the same again
Bled for all upon this hell on earth

And when I leave this world
I hope to see you all again
On the other side of hell on earth

Upon the eyes of good
I'm following the light again
In between the dark of hell on earth

On the other side, I'll see again heaven
So far away from this hell on earth

You dance on the graves who bled for us
Do you really think they'll come for us
Knowledge and virtue taken by lust
Live on the edge of those that you trust

You think that you have all the answers for all
In your arrogant way only one way to fall
Burning a lamp that is fire in your hands
Taking you further from these lands

Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger

Manowar - Carry On

The north star always guides me
When winter skies are gray
And I wait for the sun when all ate one
I shall not betray
Calling at me
I'm waiting when all are led astray

Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we together
Then forever carry on

Darkness all around us
We don't close our eyes
No one's gonna ground us
We were born to fly
Comin' at us no stopping
Born to amplify

Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we together
Then forever carry on

Yea, be my brother
Fight to stay alive
All the world can't change us
With all their burned-out jive
Come get us now we're waiting
We won't ride and hide

Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we together
Then forever carry on

Now we're all together
Let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand riders
We can't all be wrong
Comin' at us no stopping
Always carry on

Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we together
Then forever carry on
