"Sons Of Light"

"Sons Of Light"


Druid-born, Druid-born
By this honor we're sworn
To keep evil at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
Druid-born of the land
Where they hear triumph shout
Druid-born, Druid-born
For your blessings we pray

Evil calls in the darkness
Tempting weakness in our souls
But we can
We can fight it, save us

Whoa
Whoa, hey

Times of peace beckon
Warring sides reckon
Peace shall fight
Dawn shall break through the night

Hearken now, sons of snow
To an age long ago
And the tale boldly told
Of the one
Who was kin to both gods and the races of man

Druid-born, Druid-born
By this honor we're sworn
To return to the time
When our hope is reborn
Druid-born of the land
Where they hear triumph's shout
Druid-born, Druid-born
And the fiercest foes rout

Hear our voices calling, hey
The sons of light shall march, hey
And turn the dark
To the light

"Stand And Deliver"

"Stand And Deliver"


Look out! There's danger all about,
Can't you feel it in the air,
Look out! There's danger all about,
You had better beware.
Ooh, ooh. Under darkening skies,
Ohh, ooh. There's a full moon on the rise.

Look out! There's a Highwayman about,
No traveler is safe on the road.
Look out! And never be in doubt,
This night is about to explode.
Ooh, ooh. From the shadows he's suddenly there,
Ooh, ooh. Then you will hear him declare.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!

Look out! A coach has been surprised
Crossing Branagan's Moor.
No doubt, the gold that's been excised
Will be given to the poor!
Ooh, ooh. For the poor are being squeezed everyday,
My fine friend's, give it up, now it's your turn to pay.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!

Look out! The gentry and the rich,
For I have taken an oath.
Look out! No matter which is which,
I will steal from you both!
Ooh, ooh. Who will stand up for the weak.
Ooh,ooh. Yes, mine is the voice that will speak.

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!

Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!

"Standing On The Corner"

"Standing On The Corner"


Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

I'm the cat that got the cream
Haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I'll take me down to Main street
And that's where I select my imaginary dish

Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

I'm the cat that got the cream
Haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I'll take me down to Main street
And that's where I select my imaginary dish

Brother you can't go to jail for what you're thinking
Or for that woo look in your eye
Standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

"Steal Away"

"Steal Away"


Steal away, let's steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let's start anew,
And darlin' steal away.
Ooooh, ooooh
Let's steal away and chase our dream,
And hope they never find us.
The deary days, the empty nights,
We'll leave them all behind us.
Ooooh, aaaaah
Steal away, let's steal away
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let's start anew,
And darlin' steal away.
Oooooh.
We'll leave with just our memories,
And make a new beginning.
We have to choose,
To win or lose,
And it's time we started winning.
Mmmmm, aaaaah
Steal away, let's steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let's start anew,
And darlin' steal away.
Steal away, let's steal away,
No reason left to stay.
For me and you,
Let's start anew,
And darlin' steal away.

"Summer In Dublin"

"Summer In Dublin"


Take me away from the city and lead me to where I can be on my own,
I wanted to see you, and now that I have, I just want to be left alone,
I'll always remember your kind words, and I'll still remember your name,
But I've seen you changing and turning, and I know that things just won't be the same.

I remember that summer in Dublin, and the Liffey as it stank like hell,
And the young people walking on Grafton Street, and everyone looking so well,
I was singing a song I heard somewhere, called "Rock'n'Roll Never Forgets",
When my hummin' was smothered by a Forty Six ‘A’ and the scream of a low-flying jet.

So I'm leavin' on Wednesday morning tryin' to find a place where I can hear
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks, where open roads always are near,
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet, and I want to walk back up that hill,
I'll just get on the road and I’ll stick out my thumb.
‘Cause I know for sure you'll be there still.

I remember that summer in Dublin, and the Liffey as it stank like hell,
And the young people walking on Grafton Street, and everyone looking so well,
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoire, stoppin' off to pick up my guitar,
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich. I was glad we weren't goin' too far.

And if sometimes I tire of the quiet, and I want to walk back up that hill,
I'll just get on the road and I’ll stick out my thumb.
‘Cause I know for sure you'll be there still.

"Surfer Medley"

"Surfer Medley"


Two girls for every boy

I bought a pretty cool wagon and they call it a Woodie
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it ain't very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Surf City, here we come)
Well it ain't got a backseat or a rear window
but it still gets me where I want to go

And we're goin' to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah, we're goin' to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun now
Two girls for every boy
Two girls for every-

Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruises through the hamburger stand now
(Hamburger stand now, the hamburger stand)
Seems she forgot all about
The library like she told her old man now
(Told her old man now, she told her old man)
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
(Fast as she can now, as fast as she can)
And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'till her daddy takes the T-Bird away
And she'll have fun, fun, fun 'till her daddy takes the T-Bird away

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. of A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californ-i-a
You'd see 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy, bushy blond hairdo
A-surfin' U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Ventura County line
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Santa Cruz and Trestles
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Australia's Narrabeen
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over Manhattan
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
And down Deheny way
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Everybody gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the boys we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

"Sway"

"Sway"


When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me; make me sway
like a lazy ocean hogs the shore
Hold me close; sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me; sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me; sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes with see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth; sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes with see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me; sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me; sway with me
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me; make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close; sway me more
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close; sway me more
Hold me close; sway me more
Sway me now

"Sweet Sixteen"

"Sweet Sixteen"


When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I dreamt the world held nought but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thy
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dream of love is o're
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did on 'Auld Lang Syne'
As to the church we wandered side by side
I love you as I've never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me e'er my dream of love is o're
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

"Take Me Home"

"Take Me Home"


[Ryan]
I sit here thinking
As the sun is sinking
Over the mountain
And the dry, dusty ground

[Damian]
As the night is falling
I start recalling
The nights
In my own town

[Keith]
I see the faces
In familiar places
I hear the music
That they played way back then

[Paul]
My heart rejoices
As I hear the voices
Calling me
Home again

[Chorus - All]
Home
Oh take me home
Oh to the people
I left behind
Oh to the love
I know I'll find
Oooh take me home

[George]
As the sky is burning
My mind is turning
To the cold winter evenings
By my own fire side

[All]
So far away now
But any day now
I'll sail
On the morning tide

[Chorus - All]
Home
Oh take me home
Oh to the people
I left behind
Oh to the love
I know I'll find
Oooh take me home

[Keith]
Take me home
Far across the sea
[All]
Home is where I long to be

[Chorus - All x2]
Home
(Da da da da)
Oh take me home
(Da da da da)
Oh to the people
(Da da da da da)
I left behind
(Da da da)
Oh to the love
(Da da da da)
I know I'll find
(Da da da da)
Oooh take me home

"Tears Of Hercules"

"Tears Of Hercules"


So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand
There's sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again

I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me the way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night and I am still alive
Till I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night and I am still alive
Till I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
