But most of you will be wrong. “It is the very error of the moon. She comes more near the earth than she was wont. And makes men mad.” —William Shakespeare, Othello great-and-good-are-seldom-the-same-man Uplifting focus-on-being-grateful-for-what-you-have-already-enjoy-it Inspirational im-afraid-of-getting-too-close-falling-in-love-too-fast-trusting-too-much-and-expecting-too-much-on-the-wrong-person Success sex-is-more-exciting-on-the-screen-and-between-the-pages-than-between-the-sheets Relationship believe-you-can-and-you-will Inspirational VERSE # 1: There's a ship lies rigged And ready in the harbor. Tomorrow, for old England, She'll sail Far away from your land Of endless sunshine To my land of Rainy skies and gales. And I shall be aboard That ship tomorrow, 'Though my heart is full Of tears at this farewell, CHORUS: For you are beautiful And I have loved you dearly, More dearly than The spoken word can tell. VERSE # 2: I heard there's A wicked war a raging, And the taste of war, I know so very well. Even now, I see The foreign flag a raising. Their guns on fire, As we sail into hell. I have no fear of death; It brings no sorrow. But, oh, how bitter Will be this last farewell! VERSE # 3: 'Though death and darkness Gather all about me And my ship be torn Apart upon the seas, I shall smell again The fragrance of these islands In the heaving waves That brought me once to thee. And should I return Safe home again to England, I shall watch the English mist Roll through the dell. _______________________________________________________ as outside a lunatic asylum one day, busy picking up stones When along came a lunatic and said to me, "Good morning Mr. Jones, Oh, how much a week do you get for doing that", "Thirty bob I cried" "What, thirty bob a week, with a wife and kids to keep? Come inside you silly bugger come inside" "Come inside you silly bugger come inside, you ought to have a bit more sense. Working for your living, take my tip, act a little screwy and become a lunatic. Oh you get your meals most regular and a brand new suit besides. What's thirty bob a week with a wife and kids to keep. Come inside you silly bugger come inside." _____________________________________________________________ The lunatic is on the grass. The lunatic is on the grass. Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs. Got to keep the loonies on the path. The lunatic is in the hall. The lunatics are in my hall. The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more. And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. The lunatic is in my head. The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. "I can't think of anything to say except... I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!" ____________________________________________________ Safe and sound at home again, let the waters roar, Jack. Safe and sound at home again, let the waters roar, Jack. Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! Since we sailed from Plymouth Sound, four years gone, or nigh, Jack. Was there ever chummies, now, such as you and I, Jack? Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! We have worked the self-same gun, quarterdeck division. Sponger I and loader you, through the whole commission. Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! Often have we laid out, toil nor danger fearing, Tugging out the flapping sail to the weather earring. Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! When the middle watch was on and the time went slow, boy, Who could choose a rousing stave, who like Jack or Joe, boy? Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! There she swings, an empty hulk, not a soul below now. Number seven starboard mess misses Jack and Joe now. Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! But the best of friends must part, fair or foul the weather. Hand yer flipper for a shake, now a drink together. Long we've tossed on the rolling main, now we're safe ashore, Jack. Don't forget yer old shipmate, faldee raldee raldee raldee rye-eye-doe! _______________________________________________________________ Farewell and adieu unto you Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For it's we've received orders for to sail for old England But we hope very soon we shall see you again We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues We hove our ship to with the wind at sou'west, boys We hove our ship to, our soundings to see So we rounded and sounded; got forty-five fathoms We squared our main yard and up channel steered we Now the first land we made it is called the Deadman Next Ram Head off Plymouth, off Portland the Wight We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlee and Dungeness Till we came abreast of the South Foreland Light Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor All in the Downs that night for to lie Then it's stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters, Haul all your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly Now let every man toss off a full bumper And let every man drink off a full glass And we'll drink and be merry and drown melancholy Singing, here's a good health to each true-hearted lass _______________________________________________________ Now if you load your rifle right And if you fix your bayonet so And if you kill that man my friend The one we call the foe And if you do it often lad And if you do it right You'll be a hero overnight You'll save your country from her plight Remember God is always right If you survive to see the sight A friend now greeting foe No you won't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No you won't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams If I knew then what I know now (I thought I did you know somehow) If I could have the time again I'd take the sunshine leave the rain If only time would trickle slow Like rain that melts the fallen snow If only Lord if only If only Lord if only Oh I don't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No I don't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams No I don't believe in If anymore If's an illusion If's an illusion No I don't believe in If anymore If is for children If is for children Building daydreams
