Subject: RE: Songs of Vengeance
I'm rather fond of the Corrs first hit, 'I never loved you anyway!', a jolly little ditty, which lists the chaps' faults and offenses and hopes that the lady to whom he has run won't get tired of them either. Nice.

But my all time favourite vengeance song just has to be 'A Stitch in Time', wish I'd thought of that one.

There is another that I heard a long time ago, called 'None of my own, or the cuckolded lullaby', as sung by a man rocking a cradle in which is his wife's baby which is not his, whilst she is out on the razz again. I guess I'm going to have to post to get all the words again...

Show of Hands do a great one about a curse, that goes down nicely in a mostly male gathering...... Then there is 'Dunlavin Green' - may the widow's curse bite you.....

But the best revenge story just has to be 'Cruel was the snow', about the massacre at Glencoe - McDonalds have been getting their own back for years now!
