Ye Jacobites By Name

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear
What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong, by the law
What is right and what is wrong
The weak arm or the strong
By short sword or by long
For to draw, for to draw
By short sword or by long, for to draw
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar
What makes heroic strife, famed afar
What makes heroic strife
To whet the assassin's knife
And haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
And haunt parent's life with bloody war
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
Then let your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone
To his fate, to his fate
And leave a man undone to his fate
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear

Wiru
04:58
|

They said I would get answers gazing at the Southern Cross
So I navigate by starlight, but I'm somehow at a loss
So point me to the station where the walkabout is art
And the stories are as snapshots that I carry in my heart
I'm Dreamtime in a suitcase on a quest to lift a curse
With anecdotes to gather and some myths to intersperse
As the path uncoils before me, I resolve to stay alert
For I know a moving target is less likely to be hurt
Wiru . . . one light will shine through
Wiru . . . somehow I’ll find you
If you behold such beauty keep it trained within your sight
And when your soul awakens, then you’re doing something right
They said I would find solace in the tides of Botany Bay
So I took the helm with courage, but my mind was miles away
To sail unchartered waters is to leave beliefs behind
For until I find my beacon, home is still a state of mind
The water sings a siren's call and bids me come and play
It's as blue as any heaven, I can't tear my eyes away
I've always steered my own canoe in constant search of more
Perhaps I need a captain now to row my boat ashore
Wiru . . . one light will shine through
Wiru . . . somehow I’ll find you
If you behold such beauty keep it trained within your sight
And when your soul awakens, then you’re doing something right
I can't recall if what I've seen was only fantasy
Did the image fade into the rock, or was that specter me?
They said I would have visions by the rock of Uluru
So I fell into my Dreaming, and the light I saw was you
To remain in constant motion is my only way to cope
For some people fight their demons, but I try to fend off hope
What felled me from my fortress I suppose I'll never know
Whether swiftness of an arrow or the deftness of a bow
And now that I lie face down in the dusty blood-red soil
I hear magnetic singing of vibrating string and coil
Wiru . . . one light will shine through
Wiru . . . somehow I found you
If you behold such beauty keep it trained within your sight
And when your soul awakens, then you’re doing something right

Molly's Alone

My Molly
My story's no different than many I know,
Leave the land of your birth in search of the gold,
But leaving is hard when you left her behind,
Your one true love like no other you’ll find.
So I’ll row, row, row my way home,
And pray to God my Molly’s alone,
And if she’s not alone I’ll continue to roam,
And never return to the shores I call home.
At night as I lay under the stars,
I dream of my Molly she’s never too far,
From the front of my mind my Molly remains,
My only wish is she feels the same.
So I’ll row, row, row my way home,
And pray to God my Molly’s alone,
And if she’s not alone I’ll continue to roam,
And never return to the shores I call home.
Sometimes we’ve no choice but to get up and go,
When the famine hits hard and the crops are no show,
But to leave my dear Molly is the hardest to do,
When you never know if she’ll remain true.
So I’ll row, row, row my way home,
And pray to God my Molly’s alone,
And if she’s not alone I’ll continue to roam,
And never return to the shores I call home.
With the wind at my back I took off to sea,
With a lump in my throat I could hardly breathe,
But all I know is when I return,
If Molly’s still there no longer I’ll yearn.
So I’ll row, row, row my way home,
And pray to God my Molly’s alone,
And if she’s all alone no longer I’ll roam,
And never leave the shores I call home,
And if she’s all alone no longer I’ll roam
And leave the shores I call home,
Never to leave the shores I call home.

Glass Drum

One shining morning
My mind ablaze
My blood was nearly set at boiling
And I felt my hackles raised
Heard a call to battle
Insanity
For I was watching my opponent watching me
The threat of shadows
Soon comes to pass
To seize a platform of resentment
Is to bang a drum of glass
And when it shatters
On which they delve
They have to gather up the pieces of themselves
There’s us and them
There’s you and me
Fear is more than just a way of life
More than an industry
It shatters reason
Kills protocol
It’s now a monster that resides within us all
Don’t drink the poison
Don’t swallow bile
You have to rise above the vitriole
And go the extra mile
Ignore the brickbats
Stare down the mob
A human heart can overcome a hatchet job
The instigators
Rise up to task
They stay anonymous behind a screen
Or hide beneath a mask
In choosing chaos
To entertain
They soon forget the others mirrored in their pain
There’s us and them
There’s you and me
Fear is more than just a way of life
More than an industry
It shatters reason
Kills protocol
It’s now a monster that resides within us all
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that
Protect the treasures
You love the best
Let your tender spots be secret
Keep your cards close to your vest
Don’t turn the other cheek
Know when to stand
But have the wisdom not to play into their hands
Hope your tormentor
Soon finds relief
We’ve still a tiny bit in common
With the ones who give us grief
Unplug your mindset
Switch off your mind
And turn your focus to your loved ones in real time
There’s us and them
There’s you and me
Fear is more than just a way of life
More than an industry
It shatters reason
Kills protocol
It’s now a monster that resides within us all
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that glass drum
Don’t beat that
