Sgt Pepper

UNDER THE IRON SEA is the recently released second album by the wonderful KEANE.
It is every bit as good as (if not better than) their sparkling debut … Once again graced with elegant melodies and arrangements, and powerful vocals and lyrics! This is the opening track… A truly amazing song..

Veronica

In the broad daylight of a Summer’s day
On the Cork to Dublin motorway
Suddenly the singing birds
Were startled in their song
In the silence of that moment
Our world went out of kilter
In that split second
Veronica was gone

But you will never silence her
Your story will be written down
Her spirit won’t rest easy
Until her job is…[Read more]

Actually Poshlove, at one stage in between the FOUR times I mentioned that the Azzurri would perform exceedingly well in the competition 8) I did manage to occasion a little flutter :P … An…[Read more]

Well.. I would love to know what inspired souls voted for FRANCE at the outset of this poll :)

But methinks for the sake and glory of The Beautiful Game a French triumph would be…[Read more]

I agree.. France were sensational tonight! The best performance in this World Cup so far.. by a mile.
Zidane was majestic… awesome stuff!
Makelele and Viera were immense.. doubling up, protecting the back four, nullifying any hint of a Brazilian threat.

Judging by this and their performance…[Read more]

Best of luck to England today :)

Yet despite such splutters and stumbles, and thanks to a ludicrously easy draw.. here they stand..…[Read more]

Quite a while since I heard that song Obs..
A big fave of mine many years back.

Good stuff :)

Boy With A Moon And Star On His Head

A gardener’s daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed
“It is you who I wish to share my body with” she said
“We’ll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head”

Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across…[Read more]

Bird On The Wire

Comme l’oiseau sur la branche
comme l’ivrogne dans le coeur de la nuit
j’ai cherché ma liberté.

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some midnight choir
I have tried
In my way
To be free

Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight bent down in some old fashioned book
It was the shape
The shape of our love
Twisted me

If I
If I h…[Read more]

THE SEVERED GARDEN
(Adagio)

Wow, Im sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over
Our sailors

Im sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the tv
Tower, I want roses in
My garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
Must now replace aborted
Strangers…[Read more]

Looks like it’s going to be The Netherlands :roll:

Well..

I certainly won’t be jumping for joy when England are knocked out – I know how much great runs in such tournaments mean to the English people – and I will never forget the support given to The Republic of Ireland by many in the UK throughout USA 94.
And let’s face it… most of the English players do entertain the rest of Europe and the…[Read more]

Anyway.. Best of luck to England tonight!

Well.. at the outset (and well before actually) I tipped Italy. Although they have hardly set the tournament alight I shall stick with The Azzurri..

Argentina look tremendous.. and have certainly peaked.. I would so love to see them win it!!
But I find tis rare that a team peaking so early actually goes on to win the tournament (they are usually…[Read more]

I’ll Never Be Anybody’s Hero Now

Warm lights from the grand houses blind me
Haves cannot stand have-nots

And my love is under the ground
My one true love is under the ground
And I’ll never be
I’ll never be
I’ll never be anybody’s hero now
I’ll never be
I’ll never be
I’ll never be anybody’s hero now

They who should love me walk right through…[Read more]
