Excellent song
When Venus, the goddess of beauty and love
Arose from the froth that swam on the sea
Minerva sprang out of the cranium of Jove
A coy, sullen dame as most mortals agree
But Bacchus, they tell us, that prince of good fellows
Was Jupiter’s son, pray attend my tale
They who thus chatter mistake quite the matter
He sprang from a barrel of Nottingham AleNottingham Ale, me boys, Nottingham Ale
No liquor on earth is like Nottingham Ale
Nottingham Ale, me boys, Nottingham Ale
No liquor on earth is like Nottingham AleYou bishops and curates, priests, deacons and vicars
When once you have tasted, you all must agree
That Nottingham Ale is the best of all liquors
And none understands a good creature like thee.
It dispels every vapor, saves pen, ink and paper
For when you’ve a mind in your pulpit to rail
It’ll open your throats, you may preach without notes
When inspired with a bumper of Nottingham Ale.Ye poets who pray on the Hellican brooke
The nectar of Gods and the juice of the vine,
You say none can write well except they invoke
The friendly assistance of one of the Nine.
His liquor surpassed the streams of Parnassus
That nectar, Ambrosia, on which Gods regale
Experience will show it, naught makes a good poet
Like quantum sufficients of Nottingham Ale.And you doctors, who more executions have done
With powder and potion and bolus and pill
Than hangman with halter, or soldier with gun
Miser with famine or lawyer with quill
To dispatch us the quicker, you forbid us malt liquor
Till our bodies consume, and our faces grow pale
Let him mind you, who pleases, what cures all diseases
A plentiful glass of good Nottingham Ale.Nottingham Ale ~ Trad.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!I’m through accepting limits
”cause someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And never bring me down!
bring me down!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWXRHGyPLKY
Could I ever explain this feeling of love?
It just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me
Which way to turnWe’ll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure insideHere am I alone again
A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip awayI’ll watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I’ll sit my room and wait until nightlife begins
And catching my breath, we’ll both brave the weather againHere am I alone again
The quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip awayhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMfG8VFp6Xw
Feeling so strange I’m seeing you clearly now
Your beauty’s deadlier everyday
All these people am I the only one
Who found you out
Is no one willing to say, willing to say, willing to sayWhy don’t you slow down
Turn your head round
Been treading on hearts
That are giving in with a little
Grace – you’re getting away with it
Words – but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you pleaseIsn’t it a shame
You’ve nothing to show from these
Lies – I told you you’d pay for it
Lonely are the days of your lifeYou spoke in rhymes and rhythms
The sweetest sounds
They drew me in like a moth to a flame
Oh, all these people you hurt along the way
Will haunt you now‘Cos things are going to change, going to change, going to change
Why don’t you slow down
Turn your head around
Been treading on hearts
That are giving in with a little
Grace – you’re getting away with it
Words – but nothing to say with it
You smile and take what you need in any way that you please
Isn’t it a shame
You’ve nothing to show from these
Lies – I told you you’d pay for it
Lonely are the days of your lifeYou’re beginning to lose
Things are fading in front of your eyes
You’ve a long way to fall
Before you even realise
That this loneliness hurts
Lonely will be the days of your life
OhGrace – you’re getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
You blame but you’re not ashamed of it
Hurt – you don’t feel the pain of it
Lie – straight in the face of it
Your mind – you should be afraid of it
Your grace – you’re getting away with it
Nothing to get in my way
With a little grace – you’re getting away with it
Words and nothing to say with it
Lonely are the days of your lifeLonely are the days
You lie – straight in the face of it
Your mind, your mind – you should be afraid

way ahead of their time
When that I was a little wee boy
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
Life was a song, and love a toy
The rain it rains, ‘most every dayAnd when I came to man’s estate
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
‘Gainst thieves and knaves men shut their gate
The rain it rains, ‘most every dayHey ho, the wind and rain
The rain it rains ‘most every dayTen pretty girls all in one row
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
Will blow their petticoats to and fro
And the rain it rains, ‘most every dayTen brave boys on the courtyard wall
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
And the rain it rains, ‘most every dayHey ho, the wind and rain
The rain it rains ‘most every dayThe wind blows high, and the wind blows low
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
Turns a friend into a foe
The rain it rains, ‘most every dayA long time ago, the world was begun
Sing hey ho, the wind and rain
And since that day, this song’s been sung
The rain it rains, ‘most every dayHey ho, the wind and rain
The rain it rains ‘most every dayHey ho, the wind and rain
The rain it rains ‘most every dayThe Rain it Rains ~ Spiers and Boden
