Iron Maiden - Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares
of the Sea

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and
the Mariner tells his tale.

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name,
hoping good luck it brings.

And the ship sails on, back to the North
Through the fog and ice and
the albatross follows on

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.

Sailing on and on and North across the sea
Sailing on and on and North 'till all is calm

The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me

"Day after day, day after day,
we stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink."

There, calls the mariner
there comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind
in her sails and no tide.

See... onward she comes
Onwards she nears, out of the sun
See... she has no crew
She has no life, wait but there's two

Death and she Life in Death,
they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then ... crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She... She, Life in Death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.

[Narritive]
"One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
and cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men
(and I heard nor sigh nor groan),
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one."
[/Narrative]

The curse it lives on in their eyes
The Mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he.

And by the light of moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God's creatures all of them too.

Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the Sea
Then down in falls comes the rain.

Hear the groans od the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak
and they're lifeless in their eyes

And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on.

Now the curse is finally lifted
And the Mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and
the Mariner's left alone

And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto Him.

And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins

The Mariner's bound to tell of his story
To tell his tale wherever he goes
To teach God's word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made.

And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on.

When The Levee Breaks


If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, (X2)
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, (X2)
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned, (X2)
Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.
Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you...
Going down... going down now... going down....

Fun is the only noise you should hear
I heard this song the other day, and it came back to me in a dream... sort of



Marianne Faithfull



Oh, I will free the bird in me

Oh, when I find my life.

What I always knew could be

Oh, when I find my life.

I will see the truth in me

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.



I will let go the pain

Oh, when I find my life.

I will reach beyond the strain

Oh, when I find my life.

Fear of lost and fear of pain

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.



I remember all the games of shame

And all the lies you told me.

I have worked so hard to learn

And flunked so far in my attempts to let it go by, dear.



And its so easy

I just opened my eyes.

And its so hard

To let go.



Oh, I will free the bird in me

Oh, when I find my life.

I will we what I wanna be

Oh, when I find my life.

I am here and I am free.

Oh, when I find my life.



Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

Oh, when I find my life.

This weeks thousand dollar cash give away song...
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the theif
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the wine
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get exited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us talk falsely now
The hour's getting late
Hey

All along the watchtower
The princess kept the view
While all the women came
And went bare feet servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were aproaching
And the wind began to howl

Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
yeah, Oh baby
All along the watchtower

Don't Cry Sister
JJ Cale


Dont cry sister cry, itll be alright in the morning
Dont cry sister cry, everythingll be just fine
Dont cry sister cry, itll be alright, I tell you no lie
Dont cry sister cry, dont do it, dont do it
When old man trouble knocks on your door
Dont give him no key, he just wants more
Hell turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me
Dont cry sister cry, itll be alright, itll be alright
Dont cry sister cry, everythingll be just fine
Woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love dont come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me
Dont cry sister cry, itll be alright, itll be alright
Dont cry sister cry, everythingll be just fine
Everythingll be just fine
Everythingll be just fine
Dont cry sister cry, dont do it, dont do it
Dont cry sister cry, dont do it, dont do it

Fireball XL5 End Title Theme - Barry Gray

I wish I was a spaceman,
the fastest guy alive
I'd fly you ‘round the universe.
In fireball xl5.
Way out in space together.
Conquerors of the skies.

My heart would be a fireball.
A fireball.
Every time I gaze into your starry eyes.

We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon.
We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon.
To a wonderland of stardust.
We’ll zoom our way to mars.

My heart would be a fireball.
A fireball.
And you would be my Venus of the stars.

I'm an Urban Spaceman

Why don't more people know who Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes are?

Anyway, some might know the Monty Python version, but here's the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band version...



I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed
I've got everything I need
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly
I'm a supersonic guy

I don't need pleasure
I don't feel pain
If you were to knock me down
I'd just get up again
I'm the urban spaceman babe and
I'm making out
I'm all about

I wake up every morning
with a smile upon my face
My natural exuberance
spills out all over the place
I'm the urban spaceman
I'm intelligent and clean
Know what I mean?

I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none
It's a lot of fun

I never let my friends down
I've never made a boob
I'm a glossy magazine
an advert in the tube
I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist
I don't exist

And to pretend

Self assured
And oh, I know

I feel stupid and, contagious

Im worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed

And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard

Alright, I decided to do something special in this thread as MoDB. Every Week, I'm going to set my iPod to shuffle once per week, and the first song that comes up gets it's lyrics posted. First up:

Johnny Have You Seen Her-The Rembrants


Johnny have you seen her-She was headed out this way
And I notice, that you don't have much to say
Do you think that she's been wanderin', a little far from home?
Oh Johnny tell me, what's been goin' on

Johnny can you hear me, 'cause I could really use a friend
And I've known you, since before I can't say when
Did you think I was the kind of man, to leave well enough alone?
Oh Johnny tell me, what's been goin' on

IF YOU COULD LOOK INSIDE THIS TORTURED HEART OF MINE
YOU WOULD SEE THE PAIN I'M GOIN' THROUGH
CAN YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL IF I AM BLIND
MAYBE THEN I MIGHT BELIEVE YOU (Oh yeh)
'Cause I wanna believe you

Johnny did she tell you, that her heart belongs to me?
And did she tell you, that I will never set her free?
For the vows that we made years ago, are carved upon a stone
Oh Johnny tell me, what's been goin' on

(CHORUS)..Oh yeh
'Cause I wanna believe you

Johhny, Yeh!

Johnny have you seen her-She was headed out this way
And I notice, that you don't have much to say
You can take me for the fool I am-That's where the line is drawn
Oh Johnny tell me, what's been goin' on

(CHORUS 2x)

I wanna believe you
I wanna believe you
Yeh I wanna believe you

Fun is the only noise you should hear
I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Death Cab for Cutie


Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Heard it's a :fonz: song.

Anyway:

Emenius Sleepus-Green Day

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think your sick and I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no ?
Ever tell you that you weren't right ?
Where did all the little kid go ?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight ?
And you know it's true

It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

July is the month for Independence. So here are a few songs I love to sing to my kids. Someday I may even see my oldest perform his versions of them onstage.

Voice of America
All songs by Steven Van Zandt (Blue Midnight Music, 1983)


Can you hear me, wake up
where's the voice of America

Somebody help me, we gotta stop a crime
I been betrayed by my own kind
I been quiet, too quiet
while across the borderline
We die

Can you hear me, wake up
where's the voice of America

I know that we knew right from wrong once upon a time
Everything we stood for has been compromised
I been quiet, too quiet
while across our borderline
my people lie

Can you hear me, wake up
where's the voice of America

You're quiet, too quiet, are you still alive
Inside

Can you hear me, wake up
we're the voice of America
we're the voice of America
we're the voice of America
we're the voice of America




Out of the Darkness

There's a sadness all around us
There are words we're too afraid to say
The things that I thought would last forever
Are changing every day
There's a hunger that can't be satisfied
And the streets are filled with rage
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
And face the life we've made

It's gonna take the two of us
I just can't do it all on my own
I see the day gettin' brighter
Hold me a little bit tighter

Out of the darkness and hand in hand
Baby together we will make our stand
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
I know there's nothin' that can stop us now
Oh baby, come with me out of the darkness

I've lived my life trapped with trouble
Now it's time to make a new start
I thought the only justice in this world
Came from an angry heart
Now I know there's got to be love to protect us
But we can't wait for it to come
I know there's more to life than black and white
The sooner we learn, the sooner we've won

It's gonna take the two of us
I just can't make it all on my own
If you are a fighter
Hold me a little bit tighter



I Am A Patriot (and the river opens for the righteous)


And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what was on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
It ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time

I am a patriot and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
With people who understand me
I got nowhere else to go
I am a patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said baby what's on your mind
She said I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight

I am a patriot and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
and I sure ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican either
And I only know one party
and its name is freedom
I am a patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday

Independence Day - Martina McBride

Well she seemed alright by dawns early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend she wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day

Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames, and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe its the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Roll the stone away
It's Independence day

I did not know this, but the Steven Van Zandt who wrote one of my favorite patriotic type songs is an actor in the Sopranos!

"Woke Up This Morning"
Alabama 3


You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should know.
Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Plateau-Nirvana

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belonged to strangers, some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands

There ain't nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun

There ain't nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words

Many a hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
