Anyone have the lyrics to Paul Young's "I was in chains" from his album 'Secret of Association?' It is a variation of "She moved through the fair."

How did you manage that, Jeff?

I found the site, but got Java errors when trying to select the song.

Hi, Phil - I'll post the lyrics here, just for the sake of discussion. I don't see the relationship with "She Moved Through the Fair" - how do they fit together? Same tune?
I don't know anything about Paul Young.

I WAS IN CHAINS
(Paul Young)

I was in chains
Chained to my love
Lying sleeping
Below the silver trees
Then up comes Davey and says
You must be running boy
Now I must fly
Now I must fly

First to my darling
Down in the valley
I cried madly
Hey, I'm here at your door
She says, John, John
Now be gone from my door
You and your misery
I'll taste no more

I was in chains
And bound for Australia
Dreaming wildly
About my life before
Of my distrust
All across the dreadful ocean
And of my true love
I'll lay no more
And of my true love
I'll lay no more
The future before me

Whoops - first post and I blew it!

Just for the record, this song was written by Gavin Sutherland of the Sutherland Brothers and was on their First LP "The Sutherland Brothers Band" released in 1972 (in Oz), one of the all time great LP's of the era. It also has the song called "The Pie" which was released as a single, but in shortened form.

Thanks WYSIWYG. I've been visiting for about a year now; keeps me sane in the wee small hours at work and thought it was about time I actually contribute something.
