Hello,
do any of you know any of the songs from Kate and Anna McGarrigle?
WE used to sing them in the late 70s, and I would love to get the songs and music again.
thanks

Gee, it looks like they might have (or plan to have) complete lyrics for all their recordings. Some of the lyrics links don't work for me - but since there ARE links, it appears that they plan to post lyrics, or that the lyrics are there and my crummy, slow dialup connection won't let me access them. I wish more performers would provide lyrics and not act like it's a crime for people to want to see lyrics.

I didn't have any luck either, Joe. All I got was another photo of the album covers and link to return to the list.

Hmmmm. I think it's just the way the links are programmed - the lyrics show up in a new window, hidden underneath the page you're viewing. Here are:

• Kate & Anna McGarrigle
• Dancer With Bruised Knees
• French Record
• Love Over and Over
• Heartbeats Accelerating
• Matapedia
• The McGarrigle Hour (my favorite - the DVD is great)
  So they DO have full lyrics to all their CD's. Kudos to them.

I found I also had to open the album title at the top of the new window, and then the lyrics appeared. I also have slow dialup.

Great! Thanks.

Bee, do you by any chance have the lyrics to "The Lying Song."

I have forgotten part of one verse and can not find it anywhere. I don't think they recorded it. They wrote it for Marie Maldaur.

I'm missing part of the following:

Now I'm not saying that everything has got to be black or white.
For instance, the Sun's a star but it don't shine at night.
But for every shade of gray
Shines between night and day
????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????

I've got a lyric request for it on the 'Cat, but no joy thus far.

Subject: Lyr Add: I CRIED FOR US (Kate McGarrigle)
From: Jim Dixon

I CRIED FOR US
Written by Kate McGarrigle
As recorded by Rufus Wainwright and Antony on "Sing Me the Songs: Celebrating the Works of Kate McGarrigle" (2013)

Love, it's not I
Who didn't try
Hard enough,
Hard enough;
And this is why
I'm saying goodbye:
I've had enough;
I've had enough.

Love, you don't see
The pain in me.
It's plain enough,
Plain enough.
You're never here
To catch the tears
I cried for us,
I cried for us.

I'll take my share,
But I'll be fair.
There's not much stuff,
Easy enough;
And if you choose,
I'll break the news.
This part is tough,
So very tough.

I've tried and tried
To put aside
The time to talk,
But without luck;
So I'll just pin
This note within
Your coat and leave
The garden gate unlocked.

And this is why
I'm saying goodbye:
I've had enough;
I've had enough.

[Also recorded by Kate & Anna McGarrigle on "Love Over and Over" (2003)
[Also recorded by The Pet Shop Boys & Donna Lynn Champlin.
[Also recorded under the title I'VE HAD ENOUGH by Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris on "Trio" (1987).]

Went hunting for Janie's request,
the lying song,
and stumbled across Robin Dunn and Chrissie van Varik, new to me.

They follow singers and songwriters.
They compile their lyrics and post them in files at:

Robin Dunn's Wordpress site
