Sure you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen
Standing 16' one or two, with eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night, without a trace behind
Run you claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space, where you used to lie
I look for the spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in your eye
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Chorus:
Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words,
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me.
George sings harmonies here
Verse 1:
I get so lonely, when you’re away
I count every moment, I wait every day,
Until you’re home again
And hug me so tight
That’s when I know
Everything is alright.
Chorus:
Like a bird without wings
LyricsThat longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying.
Like a song without words
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me.
George sings harmonies here
Verse 2:
You’re my guardian angel
My light and my guide
Your hand on my shoulder
And you by my side.
You make everything beautiful,
You make me complete.
Everything in my world
I lay at your feet..
Bridge:
Like a church with no steeple,
Where a bell never rings.
In a town without people,
Where no voice in the choir ever sings.
If a boat on the ocean
Would be lost with no sail,
Then without your devotion
Surely all that I dreamed of would fail.
Chorus: with George doing harmonies
Like a song without words
Like a world without music,
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me
I wouldn’t know what to do
I’d be lost without you
Watchin’ over me

You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows how I've tried
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
I know, it's hard to understand
Why did we ever start?
We're more like strangers now
Each acting out a part
I have laughed, I have cried
I have lost every game
I’ve taken all I can take
But I'll stay just the same
Because you're all I have, my boy
LyricsYou are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through that hell
Life is no fairytale
As one day you will know
But now you're just a child
I'll stay her and watch you grow
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
My Boy

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
One sang high and the other sang low
And the Lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
T’was a cry all around the door
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
The servant girl replied to her lord
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Oh then saddle for me my milk white steed
- my big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride and I’ll seek me bride
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Then he rode east and he rode west
He rode north and south also
But when he rode to the wide open fields
It was there that he spied his lady-o

Love thee dearest, love thee
Yes, by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair
Thou, too, oft dimmed
With tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee, dearest, love thee
Yes – till death I’m thine.

Dormi amore dormi
Porta il fuore dove vuoi
Vola verso I sogni
Bella come sei
Tue sei per me la stella she
Per sempre brillera
E dormi amore dormi
E gia notte ormai

Dimmi amore dimmi
Che non te ne andrai mai piu
Quante notti insonni
Se mi manchi tu
Accanto a me le vuvole
Non torneranno mai
E sogna tutti I sogni
Che l’amore da
L’amore da

Gonna take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
Im gonna take a little time
I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Cos I’ve got nowhere left to hide
LyricsIt looks like love has finally found me
In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I know you can show me
I want to feel what love is
And I know you can show me
Wanna feel what love is

They say that I’m a bad boy
That I just can’t help myself
That even though I know I should
I’m just too bad to be good
They call me a romancer,
A chancer, a Gigilo
Who always have an alibi
Who kiss the girls and make them cry
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart in two
I’m sorry if I hurt you
I’m sorry but it’s what I seem to do
They call me a heartbreaker
Nothing but a heartbreaker
They say I’m the dark destroyer
That I just can’t enough
Of Girls hanging on a string
That I’m only after one thing
That I’m filled with desire
A liar, a Romeo
LyricsLike a bee in a honeycomb
Welcome to the pleasure dome
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart in two
I’m sorry if I hurt you
I’m sorry but it’s what I seem to do
They call me a heartbreaker
Nothing but a heartbreaker
I just can’t live without it
The thrill of a womans touch
It’s written in the stars above
I’m just addicted to love
But they all want to tame me,
To chain me and tie me down
Don’t they know I was born to be
Footloose and fancyfree
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart in two
I’m sorry if I hurt you
I’m sorry but it’s what I seem to do
They call me a heartbreaker
Nothing but a heartbreaker

Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the mull of kintyre.
Mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Never reaching the end,
Letters I’ve written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty I’d always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can’t say anymore.
‘cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I’m going thru
They can’t understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
how, I love you.
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
How, I love you

They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that our love is real
And I can feel that it's true
For we will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion

Twas Joey the weasel that gave us the wire, They were closing our factory down
Though we didn't believe him and we called him a liar, The redundancy letters came round
As we read them in silence, I choked back a tear, It was hard to believe after twenty-odd years
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years now they've paid us back, By making us yesterday's men, Sure as hell, By making us yesterday's men
So We said our goodbyes by the factory gates, One cold Friday evening last year
And I saw it all there in the eyes of ma mates, The anger, the sadness, the fear
Like our fathers before us we worked there with pride,  Now we fought back the bitterness burning inside
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates, Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh we gave them our best years now they've paid us back, By making us yesterday's men, Sure as hell, By making us yesterday's men
Ah Now Jimmy, said she, Give the kids a few bob, After all, sure it is Friday night
But How could I tell her I was out of a job, from now on things were going to be tight
How well I remember it cut like a knife, I was never a day on the dole in my life
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates, Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years now they've paid us back, By making us yesterday's men, Sure as hell, By making us yesterday's men
The machines now are silent, the workbenches bare, And there's dust on the factory floor
They've boarded the windows and have chained up the gates, And have padlocked the factory door
Now I'm on the scrap-heap, and I'm thirty-nine, Just one of the hundreds, shot down in my prime
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates, Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years now they've paid us back, By making us yesterday's men, Sure as hell, By making us yesterday's men
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates, Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years now they've paid us back, By making us yesterday's men, Sure as hell, By making us yesterday's men

Paul:
woman,
such a delicate creature,
ev’ry feature
needs to be loved from the start
be tender
and she’ll surrender
offend her
and she will harden her heart
ryan:
a delicate creature is something she ain’t
better take it from me, that’s a woman
that isn’t an angel, that isn't a saint
better take it from me, that’s a woman
she knows how to please and she knows how to play
take it from me, that’s a woman
forget ‘to honour, love and obey’
she’ll take you and break you
and throw you away,
that’s a woman, that’s a woman.
Lyricsshe know every move and she knows every trick
take it from me, that's a woman
how to kill with a word and to cut to the quick
take it from me, that’s a woman
how to look through you as if you’re not there
take it from me, that’s a woman.
how to say ‘no’ with a flick of her hair,
she’ll turn you and burn you and not even care.
that’s a woman, that’s a woman.
paul:
faithful and true, that’s a woman
trusting in you, that’s a woman
gentle and constantly caring
strong as the love she is sharing
when you look in the eyes of a woman

paul:
and through the disguise of a woman.

paul:
woman, so soft and beguiling
see her smiling
and feel your heart all aglow
enfold her
lay her head on your shoulder
and hold her
‘till you just can’t let her go.
ryan:
treat her as if you just don’t give a damn
that’s how to handle a woman
be more of stallion
less of a lamb
that’s how to handle a woman!
keep her hanging around till she’s ready to burst
that’s how to handle a woman
don’t try to be bad, be the worst!
do unto others but just do it first
to a woman, to a woman
be wise be wary and be on your guard.
that’s how to handle a woman
if you feel that you’re fallin', you’d better be hard
‘cos that’s how to handle a woman.
don’t let her get closer and don’t let her in
that’s how to handle a woman.
‘cos if you allow her get under your skin
my friend that’s the end ‘cos you ‘aint gonna win
with a woman, with a woman.

ryan and zara leave the set

Oh, Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the roses falling
Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so

I don’t know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I’ve been afraid, that I might drift away
I’ve been tellin’ old stories, singing songs
That made me think, about where I’ve come from
And that’s the reason why I seem so far away today.
CHORUS
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.
I have moved, and I’ve kept on movin’
Proved the points that I needed provin’
I Lost the friends that I needed losin’
Found others on the way
I’ve kissed the girls and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there’s no denying
I ‘ve traveled hard sometimes with conscience flyin’
Somewhere in the wind
LyricsCHORUS
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.
CHORUS
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had

Hear our hymn from the heartland.
Hear our prayer.

Lead us there.....

When the storm is raging,
Aand thunder rolls,
Deliver us from the ocean

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair

Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there till I die
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye
Though loving you ain't worth another try

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I'm city born, but I love the country life

For I cannot be part of this cocktail generation
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out and I need a second chance

Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
Ain't worth another try

1915 on Christmas Day
On the western front the guns all died away
And laying in the mud on bags of sand
We heard a German sing from no man's land
He had tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note we knew
Soaring ore the the living dead and dammed
The German sang of peace from no man's land

They left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath tin hats the smiles bloomed like wild flowers
With photos cigarettes and pots of wine
We built a soldier's truce on the front line
Their singer was a lad of 21
We begged another song before the dawn
And sitting in the mud and blood and feed
He sang again the song all longed to hear

Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
In 19 and 15 in no man's land

And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed us again
At night they charged we fought them hand to hand
And i killed the boy that sang in no man's land

Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
And that young soldier sings
And the song of peace still rings
Though the captains and all the kings
Built no man's land

Sleep in heavenly peace
