13 May 01 - 09:24 PM (#461671) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dragon's bane From: Malcolm Douglas A couple of Melusine links from several thousand (!): Melusine Melusine - The Mermaid I've seen it suggested (without cited evidence, so it may well be imaginary on someone's part) that she was the progenitor of the Plantagenet dynasty; that might, I suppose, explain why David Icke (sp) believes that the British royal family are actually carnivorous shape-shifting lizards; mind you, that would probably make most of us at least partly Dragon, which is rather a nice thought. Nancy Kerr doesn't seem to have recorded the song, whatever it's called. She's a friend of a friend, though, so I'll ask. Malcolm |

13 Jun 01 - 07:44 PM (#482910) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dragon's bane From: Malcolm Douglas Well, the mutual friends saw Nancy the other night, and the song is called Melusine, and it was indeed written by Martin Pearson, who lives somewhere in Australia. She doesn't think that anyone has recorded it; and that's all the information I got... sorry it isn't more. Malcolm |

07 Apr 02 - 11:13 PM (#685291) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dragon's bane From: Jim Dixon Martin Pearson and John Thompson perform as a duo called "Never the Twain." Click here for a page that tells some things about them and their music. It also mentions the song Melusine, which is apparently based on a French folktale. |

21 Feb 03 - 11:15 PM (#895641) Subject: Lyr Add: MELUSINE (Nina Loretto) From: Cluin The Canadian group, Imaginary Heaven (lots of harps, synths, flutes, cello, recorder and spacey new-agey vocals... good for falling asleep or painting to, but I found their concert too monotonous) had a song entitled Melusine on their "Dressed in Gentle Days" album: MELUSINE Nina Loretto Melusine while in her woman form Captured the heart of the Lord of Lusignan The odd promise made before their wedding day Was that Lusignan leave Melusine While she bathed Melusine and Lusignan Throughout the years had many Sweet adoring children Melusine noticed something odd about them They all possessed Melusine's Secret outer beauty (what the hell is that?) Lusignan prompted by a jealous maiden Found himself curious He found himself betraying His sweet Melusine, followed her Where she was bathing He found himself in the shadow (this guy FINDS himself a lot) Of a fearful dragon Melusine, till then her dragon form unspoken Heard her husband cry His human heart broken And on that day, she knew she could not stay Poor Melusine, betrayed was forced to fly Misfortune soon struck la place de Lusignan And one by one she saw her children Then her husband die And Melusine was often seen Flying and crying in the sky FWIW |

09 Jan 12 - 10:24 AM (#3287527) Subject: Lyr Add: MELUSINE From: Jim Dixon MELUSINE As sung by Would-Be-Goods on "Eventyr" (2008) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. She sees him ev'ry night a-fishing in the bay. He sees her swimming in a blue lagoon one day. He sees her golden hair, her skin as white as foam, Looks in her sea-green eyes and longs to take her home. He dreams about her until he can dream no more, Then one night when his boat is anchored off the shore, He lights a rollup with tobacco from a tin. He spreads his nets and waits and then he pulls her in. Melusine, the harbor light is shining in her hair. Like candy from a baby, The underwater lady, Is taken from her underwater lair. Oh-oh-oh-oh, Melusine, The harbor light is shining in your eyes. You think love's course runs sweetly For those of diff'rent species, But both of you are in for a surprise. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Most ev'ry day you find her polishing her tails, Combing out her hair or maybe practicing her scales. Outside her element she can't go very far, Lies in the bath all day just like Madame Bonnard. Oh, what a pity they can't consummate their love. It seems somebody must be laughing up above. In disillusionment he wishes he were free. He stays out drinking in the bars along the quay. Melusine, the candlelight is shining on your hair. He sees the shadows deepen. He hears the sound of weeping, But in the end he doesn't seem to care. Oh-oh-oh-oh, Melusine, The fairground lights are shining on your hair. You hear the music blaring, See foolish faces staring, For in the end he's sold you to the fair. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. |
