Good Morning, this is my first visit to the Mudcat Cafe, it´s a great forum.

My english is not so good, but I try .... :-)

I am looking for the lyrics to "Lovers Tiff", a beautiful song form the scottish Band "Brolum", I search about google and I can´t find it on the web.

Does anyone have the lyrics to this?

Have a nice day.

Beate

It is from Brolum's self-produced CD entitled "The Fair Face I Never Saw Broken" released in 2004. I doubt the lyrics are floating around the www.

I listened to the sound file at the link that was posted above.

It is a fine song, but it would be difficult for someone with American ears like mine to transcribe. Would someone else care to tackle it?

I got these lyrics from Andy Webster's MySpace page. This is sung as a dialogue between Andy Webster and Kathleen Graham. "Boy" and "Girl" are the terms used at the web site.

LOVERS' TIFF
Kathleen Graham

[BOY:] Will ye no take my hand?
Will ye no let me stay and walk along?
I can see by the deep, furrowed frown on your face,
That someone has done you a wrong.

[GIRL:] Aye, ye're right; I've been wronged, and it's you who's to blame,
So where is your guilt and your shame?
Have ye no got the guts to behave like a man,
Though ye proved that to yon Fay McLean?

[BOY:] Who was it that whispered smooth words in your ear,
So you no longer love, but you fear,
A man such as I who would much rather die
Than go gambling with your hand, my dear?

[GIRL:] Oh, spare me your falsehoods, your lame words and prattle.
Your heart and your words are so cold.
I wouldna believed it, much less ha' conceived it,
Had it no been your brother who told.

[BOTH:] What of our love?
What of our love?

[BOY:] I've committed no crime.
[GIRL:] Then why does your brother profess that you're lyin'?
[BOY:] There's so much you don't know.
[GIRL:] I know all I need know and I know you're untrue to me.

[BOY:] Listen, my dear. Please listen to me.
I know he's my brother, but he's lyin' to ye.
My brother has loved you, has done from the start.
He wants you to leave me and so win your heart.
Do you see?

[BOY:] Are you still my love?
Are you still my love?

[GIRL:] You're still my love.
You're still my love.

[GIRL:] The first time I kissed you, you looked to my eyes.
We held and you not what to say.
Your breath came out stuttered. My hands slightly shook.
I knew that I'd see you again.

[BOY:] Well, I'll ne'er have it said that our romance is dead
And our love is nothing but dreams,
For who can say what is and what's nay?
For I know you much better than they.

[BOTH:] Be still my love.
Be still my love.
Be still my love.
Be still my love.
Be still my love.
