Windmills of rough wood
all blackened by weather
windmills of stone
wearing white in the sun
windmills like giants
all ready for tilting
windmills are dying
in the gales and the sun

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun...

Is this thread in fact using a lot of bandwidth, or otherwise presenting a real problem? if so, go ahead and kill it; a lot of it certainly hasn't had any great point. But, for myself, I've gotten a real laugh now and then at the connections people have made, and have learned of a few seriously good lyrics I hadn't encountered before.

And I thought I had found a light
To guide me through
My night and all this darkness

I was mistaken
Only reflections of a shadow
That I saw

And I thought I'd seen someone
Who seemed at last
To know the truth

I was mistaken
Only a child laughing
In the sun

Ah, ah, ah ...
In the sun

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, has me yearning,
For things that cannot be.
Keep me my mind from constant turning,
Toward the things it cannot see,

I bought a clock, a rare wee clock
So I could tell the time
It wakened me every mornin
With a very poetic rhyme

"Get up, get up, ya lazy lout
Get intae yer workin claes
Up to yer knees in oil and grease
And dae whit the gaffer says"

Learned how to love, before I could eat

When I start loving I just can't stop

Some people say a man is made out of mud;
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood;
muscle and blood, and skin and bones,
a mind that's weak, and a back that's strong.

She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
so we left her to the late crew
and a hot night in Budapest.

To trial at Rockhampton, the fourteen men were brought
The judge had got his orders, the squatters owned the court.
But for every one was sentenced, a thousand won't forget
When they jail a man for striking, it's a rich man's country yet.

The God of greed who feeds the rich
While poor men starve

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he's still behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

You'll never, never, never reach the sky

He worked on the land a the days o his life
By the time he made Second he aye said he reckoned
He'd plowed near enough a the East Neuk o Fife

For those days were his days those ways were his ways
Tae follow the plow while his back was still strong
But those days are past and the times come at last
For the weakness of age tae make way for the young

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
An October's day, towards evening
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Last of the line at an honest day's toil
Turning the deep sod under
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
Flies at the nostrils plunder.

Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head."
I said "That's a blue print, left by the coal
Just a little more and I'd be dead"
    And I love the rumble and I love the dark
    I love the cool of the slate.
    But it's on down the new road lookin' for a job
    It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate.

I've stood for the union, walkin' the line,
Fought against the company;
Stood for the U. M. W. of A.
Now who's gonna stand for me?
    I got no house and I got no pay,
    Just got a worried soul;
    And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
    Left by the number nine coal.

Would you choose to go back, working twelve hours a day,
Would you choose to toil more and a pittance be paid?
Will you stand in the union against the new right,
Or do you think on your own you can withstand their might?
The answer is written in our history,
If it weren't for the union, where would we be?

It's our union, our union that defends our rights,
But our union's as strong as our will is to fight,
For the union is you and the union is me,
So stand up and stand by our union.

We shear non-union here says he
I call that scab says I
So I looked around the shearin sheds
Before I turned to go
There were four and twenty scabbies there
A-shearin in a row

So its shift boys shift there isnt the slightest doubt
Its time to make a move when the leprosy's about
So I saddled up me pony and I whistled on me dog
And we made for up the country at the old jig-jog
