Gather 'round, ye lads and lasses, set ye for a while
And harken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle
Lets all raise our glasses high, to friends and family gone
And lift our voices in another Irish Drinking Song!

Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink, and then we'll drink some more!
We'll dance and sing and fight until
The early morning light, then we'll
Throw up
Pass out
Wake up
And then go drinking once again!

It's a drinking song,
It's a drinking song,
And if you don't like drinking,
You can sing along!
And if you do like drinking,
Well, you can't go wrong!
Everybody loves
A drinking song!

Drink, drink, this town is so great
Drink, drink, 'cause it's never too late
To drink, drink, to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with "buried alive"?
What words rhyme with "buried alive"?

He spent fifteen years getting loaded,
Fifteen years 'till his liver exploded.
Now what's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink?

Hark, the Streptococcus brings
Strep sore throat to all who sing
Chloraseptic doesn't cure it
Other people sneezing lure it
If the strep bug has a virus
Scarlet fever then arises
Cross-reaction with the heart
Causes it to come apart...!
Hark, the Streptococcus breeds
The misery of a bad disease!

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Love, love will tear us apart... again.
Love, love will tear us apart... again.

Title of the song
Naive expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time and rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song

Could be wrong.
I could be right.

Could be wrong.

I could be wrong, I could be right.
I could be black, I could be white.
I could be right, I could be wrong.
I could be white, I could be black.
Your time has come, your second skin.
The cost so high, the gain so low.
Walk through the valley,
The written word is a lie.

It could be wrong
Could be wrong
But it should've been right
It could be wrong
Could be wrong
To let our hearts ignite

Is my life a castle built on sand?
Did I hold a liar's hand?
Walls of betrayal, roof of lies
What is truth in all these lies?

It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
I'll learn to discover
You're leaving me now

It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now

Now, baby, when I told you that I loved you
I was only tellin' a lie.
I belong gone come the crack of dawn,
And I believe the word is "goodbye."
Bye, baby, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
I was only tellin' a lie, lie, lie...

How many times, in the back of your mind, have you heard a voice
Calling to you?
Won't you come over here, let me talk in your ear, I have something
Tempting for you...

I can give you all of the world,
With diamonds, jewels, and rubies so rare
Just sign your name upon the line
And give me your soul if you dare

But don't you believe, you'll be deceived
You're playing with fire
Because the devil is a liar

Once I was headed for hell,
Once I was headed for hell;
But when I got to Satan's door
I heard you blowin' on your horn once more,
So I said, "Satan, farewell!"

And now I'm all ready to fly,
Yes, to fly higher and higher!
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And I've been through the fire,
And I purged my soul
And my heart too,
So climb up the mountaintop

So let's go there,
Let's make our escape.
Come on, let's go there,
Let's ask, "Can we stay?"

Can you take me higher,
To a place where blind men see.
Can you take me higher,
To a place with golden streets.

I guess it's like a mountain side
You've got to climb it to the top
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.

I have a castle on a cloud
I like to go there when I sleep
Not any floors for me to sweep
Not in my castle on a cloud

There's is a room that's filled with toys
There are a hundred girls and boys
Nobody shouts or talks too loud
Not in my castle on a cloud

(Ah! I killed it! )

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold; and leaves there grew
Of wind I sang; a wind, there came, and in them blew
Lothlorien...
In light, I wove a secret land of timeless joy
My perfect child, no mortal hand could dare destroy
Lothlorien...

Beyond the sun
Beyond the moon
Wonder!
Wonder!

Though worlds may die, and worlds may grow -
Out of death, life! Out of night, day! Glory, from sorrow!
Out of grief, joy! Out of storm comes strength for tomorrow!
Out of dust, gold! Out of fire, air! Comfort, forsaken!
Out of rage, calm! Out of loss, find glory awakened!

(The first thing that comes to mind when I hear Enya is more Enya.)

One day, one night, one moment, my dreams could be, tomorrow. One step, one fall, one falter, east or west, over earth or by ocean.

One way to be my journey, this way could be my Book of Days.

Ó lá go lá, mo thuras, an bealach fada romham.

Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras, na scéalta nach mbeidh a choích.

No day, no night, no moment, can hold me back from trying. One flag, One fall, One falter, I'll find my day may be, Far and Away. Far and Away.

One day, one night, one moment, with a dream to believe in. One step, one fall, one falter, find a new earth across a wide ocean. This way became my journey, this day ends together, Far and Away.

This day ends together, Far and Away. Far and Away.

There's a road, calling us astray
Step by step, pulling you away
Far beyond the sun...!
Take the road, wherever it runs!
Where it leads, no one ever knows!
Don't look back! Follow where it goes!
To the farthest shore...!
Take the road a hundred miles more!

The road goes on, ever ever on
Hill by hill, mile by mile
Field by field, stile by stile!
The road goes on, ever ever on!
See the road run past your doorstep, calling for your feet to stray -
Like the deep and rolling river, it will sweep them far away!
Just beyond the far horizon lies a waiting world unknown!
Like the dawn, its beauty beckons, with a wonder all its own!

They put a hot wire to my head,
Cuz of the things I did and said.
And made these feelings go away,
Model citizen in every way!

May the road rise with you.
May the road rise with you.
May the road rise with you.

"Cleanliness is godliness", my Uncle Pat would sing
He broke his neck a-slipping on a bar of Irish Spring
And good old Uncle Brendan, as he drove home from the bar
The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his car

Emptiness is loneliness,
And loneliness is cleanliness,
And cleanliness is godliness,
And God is empty, just like me.

Don't let your heart be hardened
Don't let your love grow cold
May you always stay so childlike
May you never grow too old

She ain't got no money,
Her clothes are kinda funny,
Her hair is kinda wild and free.
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes,
And nobody knows like me.
