Subject: Lyr Add: GRANITE YEARS (from Oysterband)
Big Tim, they'd already made it some months ago, just have look on the links.
I can't give the words of "I can't get down" at the moment coz the CD is at friend, but Wolfgang, if you wanna sing "Granite Years" tomorrow and you can't because of me haven't brought along the words here they are:

GRANITE YEARS by THE OYSTERBAND

Night has drawn the curtain covered up their eyes
The angels will not hear you your spirit starts to rise
There's music from the bar drunken laughter down the hall
Is it pain or is it pleasure you are hearing through the wall?

Cruising for a bruising tattooed above the heart
It'd take the strength of Mary to hold the boys apart
They flicker in their footsteps a voltage overload
Dazzling the dancers like they're fixing to explode
You find 'em later lying in the road

CHORUS
Granite years, harbour nights, city lights and bitter tears
And you don't care where you're going
Say that I was foolish, say that I was blind
Never say that I got left behind

Love you for a lifetime but I haven't time to try
If I loved you for an hour that wouldn't be a lie
Say that I was foolish say that I was blind
A seller bought a buyer and the buyer didn't mind
Anything you ask I'll pay in kind

The wind is off the sea tonight it whistles through his soul
The solitary copper hopes that god is on patrol
A single star is shining across the evening sky
Sending us a message, they are waving us good-bye
They are waving us a long, long good-bye
Thousands of light years..........good-bye

Frippe, maybe ya like this one too. If not, Wolfgang you can take it alone. If yes you have to share it with him*bg*

Calm down envy, calm downnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

All the best
