Father to Son

-
by May

A word in you ear from father to son
Hear the word that I say
I fought with you fought on your side
Long before you were born

Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son

And the voice is so clear
Time after time it keeps calling you, calling you on
Don't destroy what you see
Your country to be
Just keep building on the ground that's been won

Kings will be crowned, and the word goes around
From father to son, to son

Won't you hear us sing
A finally song
Ooh,yeah
Now we hand it on
Heard it all before

Take this letter that I give you
Take it sonny, hold it high
You won't understand a word that's in it
But you'll write it all again before you die

A word in your ear from father to son
Funny you don't hear a single word I say
But my letter to you will stay by your side
Through the years till the loneliness is gone

Sing if you will
But the air you breath I live to give you
Father to son, father to, father to, father to son

Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Joyful the sound, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
From father to son, to son
Joyful the sound...

White Queen (As It Began)

-
by May

So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began

On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The White Queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in affair

Needing unheard
Pleading one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see

How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
White Queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait

My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait

Dear friend goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends
As it began

Some Day One Day

-
by May

You never heard my song before the music was too loud
But now I think you hear me well for now we both know how
No star can light our way in this cloud of dark and fear
But some day one day

Funny how the pages turn and hold us in between
A misty castle waits for you and you shall be a queen
Today the cloud it hangs over us and all is grey
But some day one day

When I was you and you were me and we were very young
Together took us nearly there the rest may not be sung
So still the cloud it hangs over us and we're alone
But some day one day we'll come home

The Loser In The End

-
by Taylor

Mama's gotta problem
She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy has just left home today
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's ma on whom you can always depend
Ooh ooh

She's washed and fed, and clothed and cared
For nearly twenty years
And all she gets is "Goodbye Ma"
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's ma on whom you can always depend
Ooh ooh, ooh we'll hear you talkin' now

So listen mothers everywhere
To just one mothers son
You'll get forgotten on the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets, and just remember
It's not so long since you were young

You're bound to be the loser in the end
You're bound to be the loser in the end
They'll choose their new shoes, that's not far to bend
You're ma on whom they can always depend
Ooh ooh, ooh

Ogre Battle

-
by Mercury

Now once upon a time an old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone and the soup is cold on the table
And then the black crow flies to find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean
With a mighty tongue he catches flies
To the palm of a hand incredible size
Once great big eye as a focus in your direction
Now the battle is on
Yeah yeah yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to ogre battle fight

The ogre men are still inside
The two way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of sight
Can't see in but they can see out
Nnh... keep a look out!

The ogre men are coming out
From the two way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east cause you gotta go south

Ogre men are going home
The great big fight is over
Bugle blow let trumpet cry
Ogre battle lives for evermore, oh oh oh
You can come along, you can come along
Come to ogre battle

The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke

-
by Mercury

He's a fairy feller

The fairy folk have gathered round the newmoon shine
To see the feller crack a nut a nights noon time
To swing his axe see swears
As it climbs he dares to deliver
The master-stroke

Ploughman, waggoner will and types
Politician with senatorial pipe
He's a dilly-dally-o
Pedagogue squinting wears a frown
And the satyr peers under lady's gown, dirty fellow
What a dirty laddio

Tatterdemalion and a junketer
There's a thief and a dragonfly trumpeter
He's my hero (Ah)
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
The nymph in yellow (Can we see the master-stroke)
What a quaere fellow

The soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, ploughboy
Waiting to hear the sound
And the arch-magician presides
He is the leader

Oberon and Titania watched by a harridan
Mab is the Queen and there's a good apothecary man
Come to say hello
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
The nymph is yellow
What a quaere fellow

The ostler stares with hands on his knees
Come on Mr.Feller crack it open if you please

Nevermore

-
by Mercury

There's no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling
Please don't you cry anymore
Can't you see
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don't send me to the path of nevermore

Even the valleys below
Where the rays of the sun were so warm and tender
Now I haven't anything to grow
Can't you see
Why did you have to leave me
Why did you deceive me
You send me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore

Nevermore, nevermore
