Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
An October's day, towards evening
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Last of the line at an honest day's toil
Turning the deep sod under
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
Flies at the nostrils plunder.

Ma faither was a baillie in a wee place near Capely
He worked on the land a the days o his life
By the time he made Second he aye said he reckoned
He'd plowed near enough a the East Neuk o Fife

For those days were his days those ways were his ways
Tae follow the plow while his back was still strong
But those days are past and the times come at last
For the weakness of age tae make way for the young

My father was a fisherman
My mama was a fisherman's friend
And I was born in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the maritimes
Headed down the turnpike for new england, sweet new england

The sky is clearing and the night has gone out
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on

The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which we get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he's still behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Sky pilot.....sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky

They make the laws
To chain us well
The clergy dazzle us with heaven
While they damn us into hell
We will not worship
The God they serve
The God of greed who feeds the rich
While poor men starve

To trial at Rockhampton, the fourteen men were brought
The judge had got his orders, the squatters owned the court.
But for every one was sentenced, a thousand won't forget
When they jail a man for striking, it's a rich man's country yet.

The excrement bubbles,
the century's slime decays
and the brainwashing government lackeys
would have us assayed
it's under control and we'll soon be on our way
to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.

The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,
and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.

She bent down to fill the ice box
and stuffed some more warm white wine in
like some weird unearthly vision
wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
so we left her to the late crew
and a hot night in Budapest.

Some people say a man is made out of mud;
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood;
muscle and blood, and skin and bones,
a mind that's weak, and a back that's strong.

I bought a clock, a rare wee clock
So I could tell the time

With a very poetic rhyme

Up to yer knees in oil and grease
And dae whit the gaffer says"

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, has me yearning,
For things that cannot be.
Keep me my mind from constant turning,
Toward the things it cannot see,

And I thought I had found a light
To guide me through
My night and all this darkness

I was mistaken
Only reflections of a shadow
That I saw

And I thought I'd seen someone
Who seemed at last
To know the truth

I was mistaken
Only a child laughing
In the sun

Ah, ah, ah ...
In the sun

Is this thread in fact using a lot of bandwidth, or otherwise presenting a real problem? if so, go ahead and kill it; a lot of it certainly hasn't had any great point. But, for myself, I've gotten a real laugh now and then at the connections people have made, and have learned of a few seriously good lyrics I hadn't encountered before.

Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them the blacker they get
Sometimes I think I should wash them
But some thing keeps saying
No, no, not yet, not yet, not yet.
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them the blacker they get.....

Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin' through painted glass

Went into the land of the midnight sun

People disagreeing everywhere you look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook.
But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.

And I thought I'd bring me some money back.
Big boat up the river and she can't come down.
