Miguel does other good stuff:- Miguel Heatwole presents "Frank the Poet" at the Loaded Dog 11/02/12 Contact Sandra Nixon on that page (or PM Sandra in Sydney via Mudcat). The Loaded Dog website sometimes posts YouTube clips of singers at the club - might be something available I don't know about. Ross |

Subject: Lyr Add: The People Have Songs (Miguel Heatwole) From: freda underhill Date: 08 Oct 11 - 11:34 PM Hi, for those who asked, here are the words to a song I sang at the Getaway, by Australian songwriter Miguel Heatwole: THE PEOPLE HAVE SONGS (Miguel Heatwole) Here voices are tuned to each other in gladness To all here in common affection belongs Here joy and laughter meet keening and sadness Here tyranny's cursed for the people have songs Chorus: Let us set the room ringing with the sound of our singing When we come to the end let us hold the chord long Hear the harmonies rise and all close our eyes 'Til the last cadence dies the people have songs Here is war parting sweethearts Here are strong sweating sailors And poets for beauty who ardently long Here are people at work singing loud at their labours Here are marriage and drinking for the people have songs Respect for each other gives each one a hearing And whether the voice be uncertain or strong We listen with love if the heart is endearing Supported in harmony the people have songs Disdaining oppression like others before us Our gentleness angered by history's wrongs Our tradition endures, and our voices in chorus Are lifted in hope for the people have songs! |
