Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Farewell Regality
Here's my attempt at a partial transcription from a couple of sound samples found online. Several words are highly doubtful.

FAREWEEL REGALITY
Terry Conway, 1984

...call the fates away from Hexhamshire.
And what is time that flies so fleet
But just a bird that flies on merry wings
And lights us down in happy spring
When winter's neet is past?

And we'll cry fareweel regality
And cry fareweel the liberty (?)
To honest spring's civility
To winter's frost and fire
And there's none that a could ... ye
To the peace and love gang wi ye....
