Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St. Stephen's Day Murders From: Blackcat2 Date: 04 Nov 99 - 10:36 AM thank you very much It's been awhile since I've visited the Chieftains site - I didn't think they had lyrics the last time I visited. Pax |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St. Stephen's Day Murders From: Liz the Squeak Date: 04 Nov 99 - 05:41 PM I like that album, I love playing it at church as an antidote to all those f***ing carols from Cambridge. Our old curate thought it was about hunting foxes and traditional St Stephen's Day (Boxing Day) persuits... HA HA HA!! And before you jump up and down, I have spent over 2/3rds of my life in a church choir, so I'm allowed to slag off those f***ing choirboys! LTS |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE ST. STEPHEN'S DAY MURDERS From: GUEST,Chris Wright Date: 11 Sep 01 - 08:08 AM The lyrics at the Chieftains site are SO wrong! I wouldn't normally object, but there's some GREAT jokes which are totally missed by the mistakes in these lyrics (written by Paddy Maloney and Elvis Costello)! THE ST. STEPHEN'S DAY MURDERS (Paddy Maloney & Elvis Costello) I knew of two sisters whose name it was Christmas And one was named Dawn of course, the other one was named Eve I wonder if they grew up hating the season Of the good will that lasts till the Feast of St. Stephen
For that is the time to eat, drink and be merry
Chorus:
Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air
His gin-flavoured whispers and kisses of sherry
Alternate Chorus:
Regular Chorus Repeat |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: St. Stephen's Day Murders From: Felipa Date: 26 Dec 21 - 01:58 PM I was hoping to find a song lamenting or apologizing for the slaughter of the little wrens, which went on for so many years. Are there any? |
