Give Us A Song!!!

Becka,
I see you are a robt earl keen fan. If you have the lyrics to his song about chewing tobacco called Copenhagen, could you post it please, or send me a pm. I heard it once eons ago and laughed like crazy. I have often wanted to perform it, but only know one verse.
Here goes, to the best of my memory:

i went to the movies with my pretty peggy sue
we sat down and i decided i would take a chew
she didn't know that i was spittin' in my pepsi cup
she took a big sip and swallered it and threw her popcorn up.

Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile.

Merry Chirstmas to the Family
Robet Earl Keen

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin' champagne punch
And homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him
Til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stero plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extention cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad
 
This goes out to our Allied troops across the world, risking their necks for us...

We Go Down

By PRIMAL FEAR

BRINGIN' DOWN THE ENEMY
TO HIS FINAL SLAUGHTER
AIN'T GOT NO MERCY NOT AT ALL
LIVIN' ON OUR FANTASY
THEY HAVE KILLED OUR DAUGHTERS
AND NOW SOME HEADS ARE GONNA FALL

WE'RE GONNA KICK'EM
UP AND DOWN THE BATTLEFIELD
THEY'RE GONNA FEEL
WHAT WE WENT THROUGH

WE GO DOWN - INTO THE FIRE
WE GO DOWN - INTO THE FIRE

STICKING TO THEIR AGONY
BUT KNOWING THEY WON'T MAKE IT
WE BRING THIS BATTLE TO AN END
FIGHTING FOR OUR LIBERTY
GETTING INDEPENDENT
LET'S SPREAD THIS MESSAGE TO THE LAND

WE NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN ONCE AGAIN
AND NOW THEY'VE GOT
WHAT THEY DESERVE

WE GO DOWN - INTO THE
FIRE WE GO DOWN - INTO THE PKE

TAKE'EM DOWN
TO THEIR FINAL BATTLEFIELD
BRING'EM DOWN
TAKE'EM TO THE SLAUGHTER
COME ON COME ON COME ON

WE GO DOWN - INTO THE FIRE
WE GO DOWN - INTO THE FIRE
 
This is one of my all-time favourites. Sung to a simple driving beat, its power is irrestible. It's a spell for invoking the powers of the elements, and I can imagine a Sami shaman standing by some Scandinavian shore and singing this whilst whipping the wind and waves into a ferment...

"Tuuli" by Hedningarna (traditional Finnish lyrics)

Tuulen Ukku tuulen Akka
tuulen kaikki ristikansa

Miestä mustoa rukoilen
suuren tuulen nostajaksi

Suuren tuulen nostajaksi
sään rajun rakentajaksi

Kisko teiltä tervaskannot
rannoilta rämäkät männyt

Tuopa taita tammen latvat
rutaise rutisen raajan

Nouse tuuli tuulemahan
vihkurit vetelemään

Nouse tuuli tuulemahan
ilmarinta riehkimään

Nouse tuuli tuulemahan
vihkurit vetelemään

Tuule tuuli kuusi vuotta
seuro seitsemän kesää

Saata koski kuohumahan
vesi vanha vellomaan

Itse kuohu kosken lailla
sekä valtona vallitse

Miestä mustoa rukoilen
suuren tuulen nostajaksi

Suuren tuulen nostajaksi
sään rajun rakentajaksi


--Translation...

"Wind raising"

Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka
weavers all of winds and weather

Pray I do to mighty masters
raise a wind and make it whirling

Raise a wind and make it whirling
make a gale that´s great and growing

Tear up tar stumps off the roadside
pull the pine trees off the lake shore

Break the tops of giant oak trees
crash their robust roots to splinter

Rise thou wind to blow and bellow
gust and gale to whirl all over

Rise thou wind to blow and bellow
rage and rave, thou angry weather,

Blow thou wind through more than six years
rage through summers more than seven

Rapids rise to rush in torrents
aged waters to run swiftly

And thou self rush like the rapids
and prevail without a hindrance.
 
John Wayne and Jesus
Pat Green

Well, I met John Wayne and Jesus when I was just a kid
Both had on their cowboy hats just how I pictured them
Stood up the front of the class, waving my American flag
We said the Pledge, sang amber waves of grain

And I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
And I'm still hanging out, with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know, this is as good as life can get

It's as good as it can get

Well I had a big time when I was down in Houston
I fell in love and moved to New Orleans
She said "So long," now I'm here all alone
She's still got an little bitty piece of me

And I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
And I'm still hanging out, with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know, this is as good as life can get

It's as good as it can get

John Wane and Jesus moved to Hollywood
Working behind the scenes on MTV
Me, I'm standing right down here in Texas
And I know that's where I was always meant to be

But I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
Still hanging out, with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know, this is as good as life can get

It's as good as it can get

And I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still singing songs with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know, this is as good as life can get

It's as good as it can get
It's as good as it can get
 
Play For Toady
The Cure

It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care

It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand ...
You say it's not fair

You expect me to act
Like a lover
Consider my moves
And deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms
And wait
And wait
And wait
For something to happen

It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
Call me a liar
You would anyway

It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today
 
Travolta
Mr Bungle

All behold the spectacle
A fleshy limbless rectangle
Sitting on a pedestal
So nasal handicapable

Sniff and remember silver ball
Contortions that he can't recall
The torso on a trampoline
The happiness melts into dream

To talk is an enunciated sneeze
To taste is some foul air to breathe

One thought it lasts a day and at that rate he'll most likely live forever!
He's a bird in flight, a hermaphrodite
And he ****s himself as he ****s the world

His twitching brain can dance within
Gyrating more like gelatin
A secret means of ecstasy
Acute and very olfactory

To see is colors crawling in the nose
To hear is stinking highs and lows

He's got an itch but nothing with which to scratch the itch - so wish it away

With his mouth sewn shut, he still shakes his butt
Cuz he's Hitler & Swayze & Trump & Travolta

Smell, Sweat, Movement.
Everyone's dancing.
Disco.
Dimple.
Fading. Darker.
A subtle fragrance.
Faint.
Everyone's dancing without him.
Where did it go?
Dark.
Odorless.
Nothing.

Baby I Love Your Way

Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night far away from the city.
But don't hesitate
Cause your love won't wait.
Ooh, baby, I love your way. Wanna tell you,
I love your way. Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help from some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine.
I can see them under the pine.
But don't hesitate, 'cause your love won't wait.
Ooh, baby, I love your way.
Wanna tell you, I love your way.
Wanna be with you night and day

I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun.
I wish I could buy one, out of season.

Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Heartache Tonight

Somebody's gonna hurt someone
before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothin' we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
there's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
the moon's shinin' bright
so turn out the light, and we'll get it right.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a
heartache tonight I know.
Heartache baby,

Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone,
There's nothin' we can do
(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody
if it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight ,I know
Let's go.
We can beat around the bushes;
we can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot,
but either way, there's gonna be a
heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There'll be a heartache tonight
a heartache tonight I know.

Urgent

You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You can't stop until you do it again

But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it's urgent
So urgent, so oh oh urgent
Just wait and see
How urgent my love can be
It's urgent

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
You're not warm or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental

But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent
So urgent
You know it's urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me
So oh oh urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You say it's urgent
Make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent
Gotta rush, make it urgent
Want it quick
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency
Emer... emer... emer...
It's urgent

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard


I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company


I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing


I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see


And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep


I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass


It's just a moment
This time will pass

Lyin' Eyes

City girls just seem to find out early.
How to open doors with just a smile.
A rich old man and she won't have to worry.
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
Late at night that big old house gets lonely,
I guess every form of refuge has it's price.
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening.
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving.
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town.

You can't hide your lyin' eyes.
And your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realize.
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.

On the other side of town a boy is waiting.
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal.
She drives on through the night anticipating.
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel.
She rushes to his arms, they fall together.
She whispers that it's only for a while.
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever.
She goes away and leaves him with a smile.

CHORUS

She gets up and pours herself a strong one.
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
Another night that's gonna be a long one.
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
She wonders how it ever got this crazy.
She thinks about a boy she knew in school.
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy.
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool.
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things.
You set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain't it funny you knew how life didn't change things.
You're still the same old girl you used to be.

Crying In The Chapel

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
 
here's some good lyrics...more to follow :)

Rider's on the Storm
The Doors

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born, Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone, An actor out alone,
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road, His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday, Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride, Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand, Make him understand
The world on you depends, Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah, Wow!
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born, Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone, An actor out alone
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm, Riders on the storm


It's Alright Ma (I'm only Bleeding)
Roger McGuinn

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proves to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying.

Temptation's page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover
That you'd just be
One more person crying.

So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not fergit
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platform ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God bless him.

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in.

But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare

While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes
Must get lonely.

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
False gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.


Shaman's Blues
The Doors

There will never be, Another one like you
There will never be, Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh
Will you give another chance?, Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember,
We were together, anyway, all right
And if you have a certain evenin', You could lend to me
I'd give it all right back to you, A how it has to be with you
I know your moves and your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
And your mind
Will you stop and think and wonder?
Just what you'll see
Out on the train yard
Nursin' penitentiary
It's gone, I cry out long
Go head, brother
Did you stop it to consider?, How it will feel
Cold, grinded grizzly bear jaws, Hot on your heels
Do you often stop and whisper?
It's Saturday's shore
The whole world's a savior
Who could ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, Ask for more?
Do you remember?
Will you stop?, Will you stop?, The pain
And there will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh
Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right
How you must of think and wondered
How I must feel
Out on the meadows
While you run the field
I'm alone for you
And I cry
The sweat, look at it, Optical promise
Heh, heh, heh, You'll be dead and in hell
Before I'm born, Sure thing
Brides maid, The only solution
Isn't it amazing?
 
Decadence Of Dignity

By FALCONER

When profit shows his face
our sense of clarity is washed away.
Spinning round the axle of greed,
don't let the economy stagnate
for it's our creed.

I turn my head away in shame
as you crave for more,
selling out what is not yours to sell.
We're the pimps of it all.

Living in the decadence of our dignity.
When silver waves his hand,
we kneel so eagerly.
Living in the decadence of our dignity.
Where man will take command
we'll sail astray in greed.

Come into my booth and trade.
What about the exclusive bargain for the day?
I can satisfy all your needs.
Sell your future and you will profit today,
do your deeds.
 
We Sold Our Homesteads

By FALCONER

We sold our homesteads and started on our way
just like the birds will fly when autumn is here to stay.
One day they will return, come spring again that's when.
But we will never see our native country again.

At first we travelled through the English countryside
on tracks and on wagons as quickly as birds would fly.
It was a lovely sight to see the land at last
but all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fast.

And later when we came to Liverpuddlian bay
the tears of regret finally started to have their say.
The hearts then started burning in each and everyone
we only talked of Sweden that used to be our home.

We all were packed together in one unhealthy cave
it was as if we'd stepped into an open grave.
The food that we had brought from blessed Swedish land
was suddenly forbidden and taken from our hand.

And when we had been sailing for just a week or two
a horrid kind of darkness was clouding our view.
We couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or walk
it was a gruesome anguish for all people aboard.

The air was filled with hunger and drenched in wretched cries,
the howling and the noises would pierce right through the skies
and death became the ruler that forces us to our knees.
The dead were buried in the horrid fathom of the seas

Per Tyrssons döttrar i Vänge.
Kaller var deras skog.
De sovo en sömn för länge.
Medan skogen han lövas.

Först vaknad den yngsta,
sa väckte hon upp de andra

Sa satte de sig pa sängestock
sa flätade de varandras lock

Sa togo de pa sina silkesklar
sa gingo de sig at kyrkan

Nar som de kommo pa Vänga lid
där mötte de tre vallare

"Säg viljen I bli vallareviv
eller viljen I mistra era unga liv?"

"Ej vilja vi blie vallareviv
hellre vi miste vart unga liv."

De högg deras huvu'n pa björkestock,
sa rann där strax tre källor opp

Kropparna grovo de ner i dy,
kläderna buro de fram till by

När som de kommo till Vänga gard
ute för dom fru Karin star

"Och viljen I köpa silkessörkar,
som nio jungfrur har stickat och virkat?"

"Lös upp edra knyten och lat mig se,
kanhända jag känner dem alla tre."

Fru Karin sig för bröstet slar
och upp till Per Tyrsson i porten hon gar.

Dethaller tre vallare pa var gard
de haver gjort av med döttrarna var."

Per Tyrsson tar sitt svärd i hand
sa högg han ihjäl de äldsta tva

Den tredje fraga han innan han slog:
"Vad heter er fader och mor?"

"Var fader Per Tyrsson ivänge,
var moder fru Karin i Skränge."

Per Tyrsson han gar sig at smedjan,
han lät smida sig järn om midjan

"Vad ska vi nu göra för syndamen?"
"Vi ska bygga upp en kyrka av kalk och sten!"

"Den kyrkan ska heta Kräna."
Kaller var deras skog
"Den ska vi bygga upp sa gärna"
Medan skogen han lövas

:D

Per Tyrssons Döttar I Vänge
(English Version...)

Per Tyrsson's daughters in Vänge
Oh how chilly their woods
They were fast asleep a long time ago
Whilst the woods burst into leaf

The youngest was the first one to awake
She soon awoke the others

They sat themselves down upon their beds
and plaited the hair on each other's heads

Then they dressed in clothes of silk
and made their way to church

When they came to Vänga hill
they met three robbers who held them still

"Pray, would you care to become robbers' wives?
Or would you rather lose your lives?"

"We would not care to become robbers' wives.
We would much rather lose our lives."

They chopped their heads off on birch-wood stem
and soon three wells sprung forth by them

The bodies were dug down in muddy ground,
the clothes they carried to Vänga town.

As they arrived in Vänga farm
Fru Karin came to greet them.

"Say, would you care to buy clothes of silk
that nine maidens have knitted and crotcheted?"

"Open your bundles and let me see
maybe I know them, all three."

Fru Karin quivers as never before
and runs to Per Tyrsson who stands by the door

"There are three robbers outside our farm
they've gotten rid of our daughters"

Per Tyrsson grabs his sword and then
he runs to slay the two older men.

He asked the third one before he stroke
"Who is your father and mother?"

"Our father Per Tyrsson in Vänge,
our mother Fru Karin in Skränge."

Per Tyrsson went to the smithy
and forged himself iron round his waist.

"What shall our retribution be?"
"We'll build a church out of stone and lime."

"Kärna Church shall be its name"
Oh how chilly their woods
"Oh, how willingly we will build it ."
Whilst the woods burst into leaf

Panzer Lied

1. Ob's stürmt oder schneit,
Ob die Sonne uns lacht,
Der Tag glühend heiß
Oder eiskalt die Nacht.
Bestaubt sind die Gesichter,
Doch froh ist unser Sinn,
Ist unser Sinn;
Es braust unser Panzer
Im Sturmwind dahin.


2. Mit donnernden Motoren,
Geschwind wie der Blitz,
Dem Feinde entgegen,
Im Panzer geschützt.
Voraus den Kameraden,
Im Kampf steh'n wir allein,
Steh'n wir allein,
So stoßen wir tief
In die feindlichen Reihn.


3. Wenn vor uns ein feindliches
Heer dann erscheint,
Wird Vollgas gegeben
Und ran an den Feind!
Was gilt denn unser Leben
Für unsres Reiches Heer?
Ja Reiches Heer?
Für Deutschland zu sterben
Ist uns höchste Ehr.


4. Mit Sperren und Minen
Hält der Gegner uns auf,
Wir lachen darüber
Und fahren nicht drauf.
Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze,
Versteckt im gelben Sand,
Im gelben Sand,
Wir suchen uns Wege,
Die keiner sonst fand.


5. Und läßt uns im Stich
Einst das treulose Glück,
Und kehren wir nicht mehr
Zur Heimat zurück,
Trifft uns die Todeskugel,
Ruft uns das Schicksal ab,
Ja Schicksal ab,
Dann wird uns der Panzer
Ein ehernes Grab.

HEIL DER FÛHRER!
 
Another one of my favorite songs. :mischief:


Never Got Off the Ground
Alison Krauss

My father was a farmer
But his head was in the sky
He worked everyday but Sunday
Until the day he died

He prayed for rain and thunder
And listened for the sound
In the dry years he went under
He never got off the ground

We all dream when we're younger
That we will do great things
Me? I used to have hunger
To where a pilots wings

But the circles that out ran him
Turned my head around
And the planes I had my plans in
Never got off the ground

"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are
To flying away."

Fly away

"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are
To flying away."

They say there but for fortune
Is the way it would've been
If we could take a bigger portion
It would fill out heads again

You see them on the sidewalks
In the parks all over town
Those who've taken flight
Never got off the ground
 
It Don't Matter Now
Alison Krauss

It's finally come
Is that sorry on your breath?
Where were you when I was sitting back here
Missing you to death?
It don't matter now
How, I wanna know
Can you tell me plain and true
How high will you fly
Without me there to be your sky?
Well, it don't matter now

Don't mean to leave you standing on your own
I think back on days and nights we had long ago
Maybe love is just a game you play
This much I do know
It don't matter now

It's finally come
Is that sorry on your breath?
Where were you when I was sitting back here
Missing you to death?
It don't matter now
Now I don't tell stories
And I don't pretend
I won't be around to say I told you then
Cause it seems like something's finally broken
That'll take a lot of mend
But it don't matter now

Is that sorry on your breath?
Where were you when I was sitting back here
Missing you to death?
It don't matter now
It don't matter now
It don't matter now
 
Buck Rogers
Feeder

He's got a brand new car
Looks like a Jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player (player, player, player...)

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon (lemon, lemon, lemon...)

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

He's got a brand new car
He's got a brand new car

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yeah
So don't you try and fake it
Anymore, anymore
 
Warriors Of The World (United)

By the mighty MANOWAR!

This song goes out in scorn to all fake metal and feeble nu-metal wimps who are scared to live like a real rebel...die!

Here I see you stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here, victory is near
The sound will fill the hall, bringing power to us all

We alone are fighting for metal that is true
We own the right to live the fight, we're here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the battle sky

Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air
We're warriors, warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky - sworn to fight and die
We're warriors, warriors of the world

Many stand against us, but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction, suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the gods, we are thunder, wind and rain.

There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands
With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man
I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall confess before they die

If I should fall in battle, my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons, tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong, I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel

Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air
We're warriors, warriors of the world
 
Hand Of Doom

By MANOWAR

Hands of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray
Time to know the pain, no time to run within
And these hands you see before you will end the light of day
Your ashes will be cast into the wind
Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves
Not one of you will be left alive
Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night
By the hammer of Thor you now shall die

Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
But they'll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand

We are high atop the mountain, with hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death again
In a flash of lightning strike now the house of death invites you
Body and soul to come within
I see the fear you have inside, you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain, not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never, ever lived

Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
But they'll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand
