A Design for Life C Lib'ries gave us power, then work came and made us free. What price now for a shallow piece of dignity?

I wish I had a bottle right here in my dirty face, To wear the scars to show from where I came.

We don't talk about love, we only want to get drunk, And we are not allowed to spend, as we are told that this is the end. A design for life…

I wish I had a bottle right here in my pretty face, To wear the scars to show from where I came.

All for Me Grog And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog All for me beer and tobacco Well I've spent all me tin with the lassies drinking gin Far across the western ocean I must wander

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed Since first I came ashore with me plunder I've seen centipedes and snakes And my head is full off aches And I'll have to make a path for way out yonder

Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots They're all sold for beer and tobacco You see the sole's were gettin' thin And the uppers were letting in And the heels are looking out for better weather

Where is me shirt me noggin' noggin' shirt It's all gone for beer and tobacco You see the sleeves they got worn out And the collar was turned about And the tail is looking out for better weather

American Idiot D Green Day Verse 1: Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the new media And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind -flip America

Chorus Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation Where everything isn't meant to be okay Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones who're meant to follow Well, that's enough to argue

Verse 2: Well maybe I am the rebel America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along in the age of paranoia

Verse 3: Don't want to be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria It's going out to idiot America

Ann o’Hethersgill D John Rayson The fairest maids in Britain’s isle ‘mong Cumbria’s mountains dwell; Sweet budding flowers unseen, they bloom by moorland, hill or fell. And one, the fairest of them all, my heart would ne’er be still, I see her at the church and fair, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill Ann o’Hethersgill, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill I see her at the church and fair, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill

Her face was like the blushing rose, her hair was light and free E’er she had felt the whole world’s woes or love blinked in her e’e This fair bewitching face of love the hardest heart would fill, The flower of all the countryside, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill Ann o’Hethersgill, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill The flower of all the countryside, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill

She cheerful wrought her war-day work, then sat down at her wheel And sand of love the winters’ night e’er she it’s power did feel And at the church on Sunday morns, none sang so sweet and shrill The fairest voice among them all was Ann o’Hethersgill Ann o’Hethersgill, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill The fairest voice among them all was Ann o’Hethersgill

But she saw Jock at Carlisle Fair and she was no more herself: She would not sing while at her wheel, and sighed oft down the dell, No Jock is the Lord of Souter Hal; he’s now come o’er the hill And taken away his bonny bride, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill Ann o’Hethersgill, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill He’s taken away his bonny bride, sweet Ann o’Hethersgill

Aneyra D Dave Camlin Chorus Aneyra, my desire is to see ya’ blossom and grow And to find ya’self inside ya’self And to learn what the world wants you to know

Verse 1: Back when the world was very young Your ancestors yearned for someone new So they laid them down to sleep; They dreamed a dream, and that dream was you!

Verse 2: Truly the sun won’t always shine; There may be days when you’ll be feeling blue But if you fill your life with love Then with a song in your heart, you will come through!

Break: Na na na na... (then modulate up a tone!)

Chorus x3 (add in) Your love keeps liftin’ me, keeps on liftin’ me Liftin’ me higher and higher, Aneyra!

Ash Grove, The D The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking The harp through it playing has language for me. Whenever the light through its branches is breaking, A host of kind faces is gazing on me. The friends of my childhood again are before me Each step wakes a mem’ry as freely I roam. With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o’er me The ash grove, the ash grove alone (again) is my home.

Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander When twilight is fading I pensively rove Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. ‘Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing But then little thought I how soon we should part.

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness; No dream of the future my spirit can cheer. I only can brood on the past and its brightness The dead I have mourned are again living here. From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me; I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome, And others are there, looking downward to greet me, The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home.

Avulekile G Trad. South African Call: A-vu-le-ki-le a-ma-san-go Response: Hayi-ya-ya (avule), hayi-ya-ya (avule), hayi-ya-ya (avule) Iyo-ho amen! Thi-na si-phum’ em-qam-le zwe-ni Hayi-ya-ya (Si-ku-lu-le-ki-le) Hayi-ya-ya (si-ge-zi-zo no nge-sa-zi) Hayi-ya-ya Iyo-ho amen!

Baby I Love You F Phil Spector Have I ever told you how good it feels to hold you? It isn't easy to explain And though I'm really tryin', I think I may start cryin' My heart can't wait another day When you kiss me I just gotta, kiss me I just gotta Kiss me I just gotta say:

Baby, I love you (Come on baby) Baby, I love you (Come on baby) Baby I love, I love only you

I can't live without you, I love everything about you I can't help it if I feel this way Oh I'm so glad I found you; I want my arms around you I love to hear you call my name Oh tell me that you feel, tell me that you feel Tell me that you feel the same

Baby, I love you...

Bad Moon Rising Creedence Clearwater Revival I see a bad moon a-rising, I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightnin', I see bad times today Don't go 'round tonight, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing, I know the end is coming soon I fear rivers over flowing, I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go 'round tonight…

I hope you got your things together, I hope you are quite prepared to die Look's like we're in for nasty weather, one eye is taken for an eye Don't go 'round tonight…

Barrett’s Privateers Stan Roers Oh, the year was 1778, How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now! A letter of marque came from the king, To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen, God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold We'd fire no guns-shed no tears Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett's Privateers.

Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town, For twenty brave men all fishermen who would make for him the Antelope's crew

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight, She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags

On the King's birthday we put to sea, We were 91 days to Montego Bay Pumping like madmen all the way

On the 96th day we sailed again, When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight With our cracked four pounders we made to fight

The Yankee lay low down with gold, She was broad and fat and loose in the stays But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

Then at length we stood two cables away, Our cracked four pounders made an awful din But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side, Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs And the Maintruck carried off both me legs

So here I lay in my 23rd year, It's been 6 years since we sailed away And I just made Halifax yesterday

Best-Dressed Hikers in the Lakes Steve Wharton There are no loos, dodgy stairs and a roof that lets the rain come in But we'll have cufflinks, and handkerchiefs, The best of Burton's tailoring, We'll be the best dressed hikers in the Lakes

The best dressed hikers in the Lakes The best dressed hikers in the Lakes We’ll make haste thanks to the 'tailors of taste' And we're the best dressed hikers in the Lakes

Though the taxis try to rob us They are a bunch of rogues We'll stick to our honour And polish up our brogues And be the best dressed hikers in the Lakes

As I mount Great Gable In my underpants of sable In a pinstripe up Pillar, with a waistcoat that's a killer I know I'll be the best dressed hiker in the Lakes

Banks of Ellen Dm John Reay First I was a soldier on the Solway shore Marching down the Roman road to Maryport But I've walked the Banks of Ellen down to the shining sand, Seen the finest sunsets in the land

Then I was a farmer out on the Solway plain Tending yows and lambs and all in wind and rain

Then I was a sailor out on the Solway bay Off to Scotland, Ireland and Americay

Then I was a collier beneath the Solway sea Hewing coal to feed the soul of industry

Now I am an old man, here's to the Solway's ways Will I ever see again those hard-fought days?

Blencathra Em Dave Camlin Altos: We turn our faces to the wind, And in our hearts begin to sing Sops: The timeless song that reunites the earth and sky. Altos: Beyond the boundaries of time, The past and present side by side, Our ancestors and all our futures unified: All: Spirit and land are one.

Blood Red Roses 1 Our boots and clothes are all in pawn, Go down, you blood red roses, go down. And it’s mighty drafty around Cape Horn, Go down, you blood red roses, go down. Oh, you pinks and posies Go down you blood red roses, go down.

2 You’ve had your advance and to sea you must go A-chasin’ whales through the frost and the snow.

3 Oh my old mother, she wrote to me, My dearest son come home from sea

4 But 'round Cape Horn you've got to go For that is where them whalefish blow.

5 Just one more and that'll do, For we're the gang to kick her through.

Blow The Man Down Come all ye young fellows that follows the sea To me, way hey, blow the man down Now please pay attention and listen to me Give us some time to blow the man down

Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down, To me, way hey, blow the man down Blow him away to Liverpool town Give us some time to blow the man down

I'm a deep water sailor just come from Hong Kong You give me some whiskey, I'll sing you a song

When a big Black Ball liner's a-leaving her dock The boys and the girls on the pier-head do flock

Pay attention to orders, now, you one and all For see high above there flies the Black Ball

Blowing in the Wind What’s the vernacular term for a saxophone quartet Playing through a hurricane? How might you describe the movement of a flag Buffeted by gusts and by gales? What’s the correct way to describe an abandoned yacht Powered across the water by its sails? The answer, my friend, is ‘blowing in the wind,’ The answer is, ‘blowing in the wind.’

Blue Moon Bb Richard Roers Blue moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold! Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Bound for South Australia In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn, we're bound for South Australia Haul away you rolling kings, heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing, we're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair, 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair,

There's just one thing that's on my mind, That's leaving Nancy Blair behind,

And as we wallop round Cape Horn, You'll wish to God you've never been born,

In South Australia I was born, In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn,

Bright Wings D Gerard Manley Hopkins arr. Dave Camlin The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?

Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Bring Me Li’l Water Sylvi’ C Leadbelly Bring me lI’l water Sylvi, bring me li’l water now. Bring me li’l water Sylvi, every little once in a while

Sylvi said she loved me, but I believe she lied; She hasn’t been to see me since the fourth day of July.

Don't you hear me callin', don't you hear me now Don't you hear me callin' every little once in a while

Don't you see me comin', don't you see me now Don't you see me comin', every little once in a while

Bring Me Sunshine G Lyrics: Arthur Kent & Nacio Herb Brown Music: Sylvia Dee & Arthur Freed Verse 1: Bring me sunshine in your smile, Bring me laughter all the while, In this world where we live, there should be more happiness, So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow Make me happy through the years, Never bring me any tears, Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

Verse 2: Bring me Sunshine in your eyes, Bring me rainbows from the clear blue skies, Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun, We can be so content if we gather little sunbeams Be light-hearted, darling, all day long, Keep me singing a happy song, Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

(Mash-up) I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again I'm laughing at clouds so dark above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain And singin' just singin' in the rain

Canny Aul Cumberland Em Robert Anderson Your Book- Learned Wise Gentry that’s seen many a county May Write, preach, palaver and brag as they will O’ Mountains an Lakes, Woods an Waters, Rich Meadows But Canny ol’ Cumberland caps ‘em all still We’ve no Shinin’ Palaces throughout this Wide County Nor Lofty Grand Towers to Catch the Weak Eye But many old Castles where Fought our Brave Fathers When Cumberlan’ could any County Defy

Who that’s seen Skiddaw can name such a prospect, Where fells rise o’er fells and in majesty vie? Who that’s seen Keswick, can count half its beauties May e’en count with ease all the stars in the sky! We’ve Ullswater, Bassenthwaite, Wastwater, Derwent That yearly some thousands all travel to view; The longer they gaze, still the more they may wonder, And wondering, forever may find summat new

We sing of aul Cumbria let’s brag of her farmers, More praiseworthy folk never trod o’er the Lea! They toil through all seasons yet suffer great hardships For rents just like taxes are now way o’er high. The wildness of winter to all may prove pleasin’ In Spring the birds welcome wi’ many a sweet tune And when any gaze on small primrose or daisy The look leads the mind to the great mind a’buin

We help one another; we welcome the stranger, Oursel’s and our county we’ll ever defend; We pay debts and taxes... (whenever we’re able) And pray like true Britons that wars have an end. Then Cumberland lads and y’lish bonny lasses, Though some call you clownish y’ needn’t think shyam Be merry and wise, enjoy innocent pleasures And still seek for peace and contentment at yam!

The Change Cm Mary Cohen / Gandhi (Be the change we want to see the change we want to…) Who, who do we want to become? We want to be the change that we want to see, To see in the world, oh who? Who?

Clean Air Prayer F Bex Mather Let me breath clean air (oh, let me breathe) No pollutants, no dust, dust, no dust. Let me show I care (I care) And do what I must, must, I must. Oh, let me breathe clean air It’s up to me and to you (to you) Dust motes in sunlight won’t obscure the truth

Let me see clear skies (oh, let me see) No smog and no haze, haze, no haze Let me take action (action) Own the part that I play, play, I play Oh, let me see clear skies It’s up to me and to you (to you)

Flight trails in blue skies won’t obscure the truth

Cleator Moor Dm Norman Nicholson From one shaft at Cleator Moor they mined for coal and iron ore. This harvest below ground could show black and red currants on one tree. In furnaces they burnt the coal, the ore was smelted into steel, And railway lines from end to end corseted the bulging land.

Pylons sprouted on the fells, stakes were driven in like nails, And the ploughed fields of Devonshire were sliced with the steel of Cleator Moor. The land waxed fat and greedy too, it would not share the fruits it grew, And coal and ore, as sloe and plum, lay black and red for jamming time.

The pylons rusted on the fells, the gutters leaked beside the walls, And women searched the ebb-tide tracks for knobs of coal or broken sticks. But now the pits are wick with men, digging like dogs dig for a bone: For food and life we dig the earth - In Cleator Moor they dig for death.

Every wagon of cold steel is fire to drive a turbine wheel; Every knuckle of soft ore a bullet in a soldier's ear. The miner at the rockface stands, with his segged and bleeding hands Heaps on his head the fiery coal, and feels the iron in his soul.

Crossing the Bar Eb Alfred, Lord Tennyson Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, when I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place, the flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face, when I have crost the bar.

Cumberland Moon Dm Dave Camlin Look, there’s a Cumberland moon rising above us tonight, Look, there’s a Cumberland moon rising above,

Rising up out of Blake Fell, a pale gold balloon A luminous halo precedes her ascent into night An altar around which the stars dance circles of light The principal theme in this dark, celestial tune, Cumberland Moon

Baleful and sad, she peers down from her canvas of blue Her watery fingers pick ways through branches and thorn Strange, supernatural threads, silently drawn They seek and they search but they find nothing that’s new, Cumberland Moon

Out on the sea, beyond cliffs where winds softly moan A spidery ladder reveals the path to her arms Each rung a shimmering wave dissolved by the dawn Chasing her out of the sky, her silver reign over soon. Cumberland Moon

Dear Native Regions G William Wordsworth Dear native regions, I foretell, From what I feel at this farewell, That, wheresoe'er my steps may tend, And whensoe'er my course shall end, If in that hour a single tie Survive of local sympathy, My soul will cast the backward view, The longing look alone on you.

Thus, while the Sun sinks down to rest Far in the regions of the west, Though to the vale no parting beam Be given, not one memorial gleam, A lingering light he fondly throws On the dear hills where first he rose. My soul will cast the backward view, The longing look alone on you.

Deep Blue Sea C Deep blue sea, honey, deep blue sea (x3) It was Jimmy what got drownded in the deep blue sea

Dig his grave with a silver spade

Wrap him up in a silken shroud

Lower him down on a golden chain

Didn’t See It Coming Gill Greenhalh Intro We were flying so high, like blueberry pie We didn’t see it coming - We knew it so well We were flying so high touching blue skies We forgot to see it coming Now we cry

V1 When we were alone, we had felt this before It was part of the deal when we all wrote the score We were flying so high touching blue skies We didn’t see it coming oh we didn’t see it coming After all

How can we…turn this great world around How can we…..stop this thing going down When we saw it coming We never stopped doing The things we kept doing before?

V2 Happy to spend, stacking problems in store It was part of the deal and we all knew the score We were flying so high touching blue skies We didn’t see it coming oh we didn’t see it coming After all

V3 It was part of the deal when we started to see How the world we had shaped had never been free How can we…turn this great world around

Do You Hear the People Sing?

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see? Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free!

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of fierce women? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give, so that our banner may advance Some will fall and some will live; will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of fierce women? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!

Don’t Stop Singing E Sandy Denny / Thea Gilmore It’s so late it's tomorrow, there's nothing doing in my yard And a light frosty-cover, it's the first day that's so hard It's the first day that's so hard So don't stop singing, don't stop singing don't stop singing, don't stop singing till you drop.

The central heating pipes are banging, I keep thinking it's the car But if I keep up with my singing, I won't be wondering where you are I won't be wondering where you are.

The / Peills did regale us with mirth in their singing; A / ballad frae Jessie brings tears to the e’e, While / Laurence and Jonathan have songs in abundance, And / here’s Seven Sisters in sweet harmony. So / then raise a cheer for the dextrous Ms. Heaton: The / clogging shop-keeper from over the fell; The / beautiful tone of the Elvin’s accordion and Fiddle will certainly make your heart swell.

Sheila's fine story about Johnny One-punt; A / short mini-lecture from sage David Day; Good / craic and great banter from chirpy Steve Wharton, While / Pip sings us ditties from the hit parade. Spon/taneous sharing of music and stories From / singers and poets, too many to name; You / witness your friends’ great delight in performing and / see in their eyes that they’ll ne’er be the same.

Com/panionship and the joy of performing, The / scratch choir sounds like a heavenly host; A / very warm welcome to all is extended, From / Stafford and Pakistan, or just up t’road. Here’s a / health to The Gather and all its supporters; More / friendly, kind folk you’d be lucky to meet, We / hope that you’ll pop in the next time you’re passing We’ll / welcome you back for a grand Merry Neet!

Eyes on the Skies E Keep your eyes on the skies, keep looking, Keep your eyes on the skies, keep searching Keep your eyes on the skies, they’re still burning And tomorrow we’ll do more, we’ll do more, We’ll do more than just survive

Keep your hands on the wheel, keep driving Keep your hands on the wheel, keep travelling Keep your hands on the wheel, keep in turning And tomorrow we’ll do more, we’ll do more, We’ll do more than just survive

Keep some hope in your song, keep singing Keep some swing in your step, keep walking, moving, grooving, keep dancing Keep some truth in your words, keep on talking When the sky come tumbling, pavement cracking, Waves come crashing, crashing, crashing,

We will sing, fly, soar, live Diving in, flying, soaring, live! Live! Living!

And when we get home, we won’t be leaving And when we get home, we won’t be grieving, And when we get home, we’ll still be believing That tomorrow we’ll do more, we’ll do more, We’ll do more than just survive And tomorrow we’ll do more, we’ll do more, We’ll do more than just survive That tomorrow we’ll do more, we’ll do more, We’ll do more than just survive

Fellowship of Hill and Wind and Sunshine C Geoffrey Winthrop-Youn Upon this mountain summit we are met today To dedicate this space of hills to freedom. Upon this rock are set the names of men – Our brothers, and our comrades upon these cliffs – Who held, with us, That there is no freedom of the soil Where the spirit of man is in bondage, And who surrendered their part In the fellowship of hill and wind, and sunshine, That the freedom of this land, The freedom of our spirit, should endure.

First Light D First Light (repeat) S+ + + + A+ S+ T- B- A+ S- A- B- First light on Lindisfarne, dawn suffuses the sky Pink, violet and gold; night’s sweetest goodbye. Gently rousing from her sleep, to the dark’s dismay This earth stirs into life; hail the waking day

Sun rises over sea, glorious to behold, Under that vaulted sky a rich treasure of gold And where Aidan proudly stood, here may we stay. This earth stirs into life; hail the waking day.

The Force G Obi Wan Kenobi The force is an energy field created by all living things; It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.

Fracking Song Bb Emily Blyth Find a world with unlimited water, Where pollution is useful and rare Where earth-quakes don't pose any danger, And go fracking there!

Where climate change won’t make a difference, A planet with nothing to lose Take your drills and your poisons and go there, And frack all you choose.

Find a world where there’s nobody living, The landscapes are empty and bare, No habitats needing protection And go fracking there!

Find me a planet where there’s no other way; No wind and no sun shining every day Where the tides, they roll out, but they never roll back; That’s where you should frack!

Where no-one is drinking the water, and nobody’s breathing the air, You can churn up the land all you want to, and no-one will care; Go fracking there!

Freedom is Coming G Oh freedom! Oh freedom! Oh freedom! Freedom is coming! Oh yes I know! Oh yes I know! Oh yes I know! Oh yes I know! Oh yes! Oh justice...

Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife have parted I'm gonna take a little stroll downtown

Quit your rambling quit your gambling Stop staying out late at night Stay home with your wife and family And stay by the fireside of right

Homeward Bound G Paul Simon I'm sitting in the railway station. Got a ticket to my destination. On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.

Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping, Home where my music's playing, Home where my love lies waiting silently for me.

Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines. And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be, Homeward bound…

Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend. But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. Homeward bound…

Human Em Ra ‘n’ None Man Tenors: Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm blind But I'm only human after all, I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me, don't put your blame on me

Take a look in the mirror and what do you see? Do you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe? ‘cause I'm only human after all, I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me, don't put your blame on me

I Wish It Would Rain Bb Nanci Griffith Oh, I wish it would rain, wash my face clean I wanna find some dark cloud to hide in here Oh, love and a memory sparkle like diamonds When the diamonds fall they burn like tears (x2)

Once I had a love from the Georgia Plains who only cared for me I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three I've got a heart on my right and one on my left,

Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 73 and neither suits my needs No, the one I love is way out West and they never will need me So I wish it would rain...

Gonna pack up my two-step shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains I wanna walk the streets of my home town Where everybody knows my name I wanna ride the waves down at Galveston when the hurricanes blow in 'Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine When your heart's rolling home in the wind

If I Dare C Sarah Bareilles Altos: If I dare to ask it, then I dare it to be true If I dare to risk it, then I know that I'm willing to If I dare to want this, to want more than I have Then I dare to believe I'll have it in the end

You climbed the mountain, sent pictures of the view And still can't believe when I started climbing, too You haven't heard that I'm not afraid to fall That I'm not deterred yet until I tell them all

I am holding out for more than what I have now, I'm holding out

I don't want your pity, I won't use your little scraps I don't build my cities with what could get taken back I don't need permission to rise up when it hurts You don't have to listen, but you'll hear me, mark my words

I am holding out for more than what I have now, I'm holding out

Sops: When the room gets dark, and I am quiet There's a voice that's soft, like someone's silhouette Saying, "Don't let me go yet" I am holding out I am holding out for more than what I have now, I'm holding out

If I dare to ask it, I dare it to be true If I dare to risk it, I know that I'm willing to If I dare to want this, to want more than I have Then I dare to believe I'll have it in the end

John Peel C John Woodcock Graves D'ye ken John Peel with his coat so gray? D'ye ken John Peel at the break of the day? D'ye ken John Peel when he's far, far a-way. With his hounds and his horn in the morning?

‘Twas the sound of his horns brought me from my bed And the cry of his hounds has me oft time led For Peel’s ‘View huloo!’ would awaken the dead Or a fox from his lair in the morning

D’ye ken that hound whose voice is death? D’ye ken her sons of peerless faith? D’ye ken that fox, who with his last breath Curs’d them all as he died in the morning?

Yes I ken John Peel and Ruby too Ranter and Royal and Bellman so true, From the drag to the chase, from the chase to the view From the view to the death in the morning

And I’ve followed John Peel both often and far, O’er the rasper fence and the gate and the bar, From Low Denton Holme up to Scratchmere Scar, When we vied for the brush in the morning

Then here's to John Peel with my heart and soul Come fill – fill to him a brimming bowl, And we'll follow John Peel thro' fair or thro' foul While we’re waked by his horn in the morning.

Joy of Living, The A Ewan MacColl Basses: Farewell, you northern hills, you mountains all goodbye Moorlands and stony ridges, crags and peaks, goodbye + Tenors Glyder Fach farewell, Cùl Beag, Scafell, cloud-bearing Suilven Sun-warmed rocks and the cold of Bleaklow's frozen sea The snow and the wind and the rain on hills and mountains Days in the sun and the tempered wind and the air like wine And you drink and you drink till you're drunk on the joy of living

+ women Farewell to you, my love, my time is almost done Lie in my arms once more until the darkness comes You filled all my days, held the night at bay, dearest companion Years pass by and they're gone with the speed of birds in flight Our lives like the verse of a song heard in the mountains Give me your hand and love and join your voice with mine And we'll sing of the hurt and the pain and the joy of living

Women: Farewell to you, my chicks, soon you must fly alone Flesh of my flesh, my future life, bone of my bone May your wings be strong may your days be long safe be your journey Each of you bears inside of you the gift of love May it bring you light and warmth and the pleasure of giving Eagerly savour each new day and the taste of its mouth Never lose sight of the thrill and the joy of living

All: Take me to some high place of heather, rock and ling Scatter my dust and ashes, feed me to the wind So that I may be part of all you see, the air you are breathing I'll be part of the curlew's cry and the soaring hawk, The blue milkwort and the sundew hung with diamonds I'll be riding the gentle breeze as it blows through your hair Reminding you how we shared in the joy of living

Lean On Me C Bill Withers Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend; I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride, if I have faith you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show

Lean on me…

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear that you can’t carry, I’m right up the road, I’ll share your load if you just call me.

Lean on me… You just call… Lean on me…

Log Cabin Home E Robin Williamson All around this wild country, the winter it has now begun Now is the time to slip away from the California sun To a place where we can be as free as the wind, as wild as the huskie’s cry Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

With snow piling all round the door and many a log on the stove, With the chickadees singing a comforting song, I’ll show you it’s you that I love O let the wolves howl, they won’t find us here, ‘neath a soft oil lamp we will lie, Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

Now there comes a time to everyone when they must turn their back on the crowd When the glare of the lights gets much too bright and the music play too loud Everyone must run from the deeds they have done, recalling those days with a sigh Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

Log Driver’s Waltz, The C Wade Hemsworth If you ask any girl from the parish around What pleases her most from her head to her toes She'll say I'm not sure that it's business of yours But I do like to waltz with a log driver

[Chorus] For he goes birling down and down white water That's where the log driver learns to step lightly Yes, birling down and down white water The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely

When the drive's nearly over I like to go down And watch all the lads as they work on the river I know that come evening they'll be in the town And we all like to waltz with the log driver [Chorus]

To please both my parents, I've had to give way And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay And there's none with the style of my log driver [Chorus]

Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men But none as so fine as my lad on the river So when the drive's over, if he asks me again I think I will marry my log driver [Chorus]

Lord Franklin D It was homeward bound one night on the deep Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep I dreamed a dream and I thought it true Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

With one hundred seamen he sailed away To the frozen ocean in the month of May To seek a passage around the pole Where we poor seamen do sometimes go

Through cruel hardships they mainly strove Their ship on mountains of ice was drove Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe Was the only one that ever came through

In Baffin's Bay where the whale fish blow The fate of Franklin no man may know The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell Lord Franklin along with his sailors do dwell

And now my burden it gives me pain For my long lost Franklin I'd cross the main Ten thousand pounds I would freely give To say on earth that my Franklin do live

Mardale Hunt, The The morn is here, awake, me lads Away! Away! The hounds are giving mouth, me lads Away, me lads, away! The Mardale Hunt is out to-day, Joe Bowman strong shall lead the way, Who ne'er has led his hunt astray... So away! Me lads, away!

Our Bowman is a huntsman rare Who'd weary with a sport like this His Tally-ho's beyond compare Or who a Mardale Hunt would miss We always find him just the same Our hardy fellsmen, hunters born At Grasmere Sports you'll hear his name Will rally to the huntsman's horn His Mardale Hunts will live in fame Nor heeded be by rain or storm

The Mardale pack is on the trail Who'd hunt the fox with spur and rein The fox is heading thro' the dale To have a mount we'd all disdain Hound Miller's on the scent, I'm told We love our hill, our tarns, our fells So fast it lads thro' frost and cold We ken our moors, our rocks and dells The mountain breeze is pure as gold We love our hounds, we love our sells

On Branstree Fell the fox is seen When darkness comes to Mardale, hie The hounds are off, the scent is keen For who the 'Dun Bull' dares decry The music sweet to dalesman's ear Hal Usher kind will find a bed When hounds give mouth so loud and clear To rest our limbs and lay our head So off my lads and lend a cheer We're welcomed, housed, and warmed and fed

The air is keen, our hearts are light In winter Mardale's dree and drear We scale with glee the frowning height But 'tis not so if Hunt is here The fox has slipped and made his cave We trencher well, we trencher long So in we send the terrier brave We meet in dance, we meet in song The fox will bolt his brush to save For days are short, and nights are long

Our terrier Frail will win or die We're lads from East and lads from West So too will Wallow Crag, say I And North and South, but all the best On Roman fell in mountain cave With Auld Lang Syne and Old John Peel We lost alas, a terrier brave With foaming glass and nimble heel For good old Frisk we failed to save We'll drink to all a health and wealth

Mary Mack Cm A: Mary Mack’s mother’s makkin’ Mary Mack marry me And my mother’s makkin’ me marry Mary Mack I need to marry Mary so my Mary can take care of me We’ll all be makkin’ merry when I marry Mary Mack! B: Firrum be ma heen, zannor vis ma gorchus x3 Firrum be ma heen, vis ma gorchus zan! C: (drone)

Now there's a nice wee lass and her name is Mary Mack, Make no mistake she's the girl I gonna tak', And a lot of other fella's would get upon her track, but I'm thinkin' they'll have to get up early.

Now this wee lass she has a lot of class, She has a lot of brass...her father thinks I'm gas, I'd be a silly ass to let the matter pass, Her father thinks she suits me very fairly.

Now Mary and her mother gang an awful lot together, In fact you hardly ever she the one without the other, And all the fella's wonder is it Mary or her mother, Or both of them together that I'm courtin'.

Now the weddin' day 's on Wednesday and everthing's arranged, Her name will soon be changed to mine unless her mind be changed, I'm making the arrangements I'm just about deranged For marriage is an awful undertaking

Sure to be a grand affair, and grander than a fair There's going to be a coach and pair for every pair that's there We'll dine upon the finest fare, I'm sure to get my share If I won't, well I'll be very much mistaken

Masterblaster Em Stevie Wonder Everyone's feeling pretty, it's hotter than July Though the world's full of problems, They couldn't touch us even if they tried From the park I hear rhythms; Marley's hot on the box Tonight there will be a party on the corner at the end of the block

Didn't know you would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet nobody ever told you that you would be jammin' until the break of dawn You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on

They want us to join their fighting, but our answer today Is to let all our worries like the breeze through our fingers slip away Peace has come to Zimbabwe; Third World's right on the one Now's the time for celebration, ‘cause we've only just begun

You ask me am I happy? Well as matter of fact I can say that I'm ecstatic ‘cause we all just made a pact We've agreed to get together joined as children in Jah When you're moving in the positive, Your destination is the brightest star.

Meet on the Ledge Richard Thompson We used to say that come the day, we'd all be making songs, Or finding better words; these ideas never lasted long,

The way is up along the road, the air is growing thin, Too many friends have tried, blown off this mountain in the wind.

Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge, When my time is up, I'm gonna see all my friends. Meet on the ledge, we're gonna meet on the ledge, If you really mean it, it all comes round again.

And now I see, I'm all alone, but that's the only way to be. Well you'll have your chance again, then you can do the work for me. Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 88

Moondance / Walking on the Moon Am Van Morrison / The Police Tenors: Well, it's a marvellous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low

Altos: And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon I hope my leg don't break walking on the moon We could walk forever, walking on the moon We could be together, walking on, walking on the moon

And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Mravaljamier (Erekles) A 1 Trad. Georian

o sweet spontaneous earth E ee cummins o sweet spontaneous earth how often have the doting fingers of prurient philosophers pinched and poked thee, has the naughty thumb of science prodded thy beauty,

1 'Mravaljamier' is the name of a large number of rural and urban table songs. This version (sometimes called 'Mravaljamier of King Erekle') comes from rural Kartli-Kakheti, eastern Georgia, As other 'Mravaljamiers', this one should be performed brightly, with an uplifting character. The tempo is rather slow. The words mean: Many happy returns, may God give you a long life, or more literally: years and epochs of happiness to you! Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 95 how often have religions taken thee upon their scraggy knees squeezing and buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive gods (but true to the incomparable couch of death thy rhythmic lover thou answerest them only with spring)

Off The Grid F Sung outside, sung outside, on the bridge, on the bridge Sung outside, sung outside, off the grid, off the grid, Sung outside, sung outside, on the bridge, on the bridge Under us, under us, off the grid, off the grid, Our voice, our voice, our voice, our voice Our voice, our voice, our voice, our voice By the stream, by the stream, by the stream, by the stream Inner space, inner space, inner space, inner space Inner space, inner space, firelight, firelight

We had sung outside, on the bridge, the sound of water passing under us. We huddle and manoeuvre our selves, join our voices to the beck's.

But in the hut beside the stream the darkness deepened and we gathered, huddled in a space, journey to a time of candle and firelight -

Time slowed and we found ourselves with ancestors and ghosts drawn in from the Now to the place of safety: the power of voice, the contact of the bodies around us, rising out of the Past, drawn to the Song rising out of us and pouring into the dusk.

Ol’ 55 F Tom Waits Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive

And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger

Six in the morning, gave me no warning, I had to be on my way Now the cars are all passing me, trucks are all flashing me I'm headed home from your place

Old Straight Tracks G Dave Camlin There are ghosts on the road that never ends We hear their voices sing in the wind And we welcome them in like long-lost friends Walking the old straight track Deep in the granite where the shadows are cast We walk a straight line down the old straight tracks And feel the sun against our backs On the old straight track back home

Keep on walking down the old straight track back home

Well you can reap your harvest with a silver sickle But the souls which you seek are invisible They dive into the water but stir no ripple Walking the old straight track We walk in the sun. We walk in the moon To the driving pulse of a fiddle tune The rhythm of the earth is in our boots On the old straight track back home

We’re walking the land, walking the earth, walking the line between death and birth Through the grave-cave and the womb-tomb, Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 99 walking the land alive!

Well I’m not one to admit defeat Give me grass and mud before an asphalt street Feel the earth beneath my feet Walking the old straight track In the heat of the summer when the sky is big We Walk straight tracks as we dance our jig: Long Meg, Mayburgh, Castlerigg; The old straight track back home

O Mary Don’t you Weep Dm 1 Well if I could I surely would Stand on the rock where Moses stood Pharaoh's army got drownded, O Mary don't you weep

O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn O Mary don't you weep, don't mourn Pharaoh's army got drownded, O Mary don't you weep

2 Well Mary wore three links of chain; On every link was Jesus' name

3 Well one of these nights bout 12 o'clock This old world is gonna rock

4 Well Moses stood on the Red Sea shore Smote' the water with a two by four

5 Old Mr. Satan he got mad Missed that soul that he thought he had

6 Brothers and sisters don't you cry There'll be good times by and by

7 God gave Noah the rainbow sign "No more water but fire next time"

Outdoor Type, The C Tom Moran Always had a roof above me, always paid the rent But I've never set foot inside a tent Can't build a fire to save my life I lied about being the outdoor type

I've never slept out underneath the stars, The closest that I came to that was one time my car Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night I lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors I lied about being the outdoor type I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend What if somethings on tv and it’s never shown again? Its just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights I lied about being the outdoor type Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight I lied about being the outdoor type

Passing Through D Mark Erelli We are passing this world on to our kids From the moment that they climb out of their cribs We try to teach them well and show them they are loved But in the end all we can do is hope our best is good enough For they'll witness how this life can be so beautiful and cruel We can't shelter them forever but if we show them all the tools They might leave this place in a little better shape than me and you We are only passing through

Passing through, passing through, we are only passing through

We've been watching this world from our living rooms It's been near 40 years since we walked on the moon And this big blue ball keeps shrinking, and I don't know if that's good But for better or for worse now this whole world's our neighborhood There's no place left to run to where you can stay above the fray We all learn to need to get along and not just get our way Not only for each other but for our children's children too We are only passing through

I wonder sometimes what I will pass on And how much can one voice do with just a song Sometimes injustice and indifference are the only things I see But I refuse to let my hope become the latest casualty So I'll sing of love and truth and try to practice all I preach And if I can't change the world, I'll change the world within my reach And what better place to start than here and now with me and you We are only passing through

Place Where You Earned Your Name G Simon Kay In Workington , Whitehaven, Cockermouth town The sun’s coming up and the rain’s coming down You may move away but you’ll keep coming round To the place where you earned your name

You play / ‘Uppies and Downies’ and support ‘The Town’ You / drink in the Apple Tree, Oak and The Crown You / try to walk home but you keep falling down In the / place where you earned your name

You go / busking in Keswick, and dancing around And the / people walk by, and some laugh and some frown But you / take all their money and you drink it all down In the / place where you earned your name

And / day trips to Allonby lying on the sand The / water is freezing but the weather is grand You’ve got a / Twentyman’s ice cream melting in your hand In the / place where you earned your name

And / Sellafield sunsets are fiery and bright The / blaze across Scotland if flooding the night It’s / all going wrong and it’s all going ‘right!’ In the place where you earned your name

Poor Old Horse F 1 They say, old man, your horse will die And they say so, and we hope so They say, old man, your horse will die Oh poor old man

2 And if he dies then we'll tan his hide (x2)

3 And if he lives then we'll ride again (x2)

La la la la la...

4 And it's after years of much abuse Then we'll salt him down for the sailors' use

5 He's as dead as a nail in the lamp room floor Aye and he won't bother us no more

La la la la la... (then shift up a tone!)

6 And it's down the long and the winding road (x2)

7 It's mahogany beef and the weevily bread (x2)

Rain It Raineth Every Day, The Dm William Shakespeare When that I was and a little tiny boy, With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain, A foolish thing was but a toy, And the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came to man’s estate, ’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,

But when I came, alas! to wive, By swaggering could I never thrive,

But when I came unto my beds, With toss-pots still had drunken heads,

A great while ago the world begun, But that’s all one, our play is done, And we’ll strive to please you every day

Rap ‘Er te Bank Henry Nattress “Rap 'er to bank, me canny lad! Wind 'er away, keep turnin’! The back-shift men are gannin’ yhem, They'll be back here in the mornin'.”

My father used to call the turn When the lang shift it was all over. And comin' by, ye'd hear him cry; You know it's after four? He cried:

“Rap 'er to bank, me canny lad! Wind 'er away, keep turnin’! The back-shift men are gannin’ yhem, They'll be back here in the mornin'.”

And when that awful day arrived, On the last shift for me father, A fall of stones and broken bones, But still above the clatter, he cried:

“Rap 'er to bank, me canny lad! Wind 'er right slow, that's clever! This old lad he's taken bad, He'll be back here never.”

A River of Music G Dave Camlin A river of music brought me to this place, Called up my friends, and put a smile back on my face, And now this party’s over, and ‘Time!’ is drawing near, A river of music will carry me away from here.

Goodnight my friends, and thank you for all your laughter and song; I only meant to stay a while; now I’ve been here much longer than I meant to, Or maybe that was the idea? A river of music will carry me away from here.

Every single moment, every one of you, Everything you’ve ever said, everything you do Is etched into my memory, and I see it all so clear; A river of music will carry me away from here.

Thank you for the dancing! Thank you for the fun! Thanks for all your smiling faces! Thanks for the sing-a-long! Thank you for your company! Thank you for the beer! A river of music will carry me away from here

From Seathwaite down through Borrowdale, from Keswick to Bass. Lake Down the Derwent’s bonny banks, past Isel and Blindcrake, From Cockermouth to Workington, and onward to the sea! A river of music will carry me away from here.

Roll Down Cyril Tawney Sweet ladies of Plymouth, we're saying goodbye Roll down! But we'll rock you and roll you again bye and bye Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down! And we will roll down! Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!

Now the anchor's aweigh and the sails are unfurled And we're bound for to take her half-way round the world

In the wide Bay of Biscay the seas will run high And the poor sickly transports they'll wish they could die

When the wild coast of Africa it do appear The poor nervous transports they'll tremble with fear

When the Cape of Good Hope it is rounded at last The poor lonesome transports they'll long for the past

When the great southern whales on our quarter do spout The poor simple transports they'll goggle and shout

And when we arrive off Australia's strand The poor weary transports they'll long for the land

And when we set sail for old England's shore The poor stranded transports we'll see them no more

Then sweet ladies of Plymouth we'll pay all your rent And go roving no more till our money's all spent

Roll The Old Chariot Along And a drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm (x3) and we’ll all hang on behind And we’ll roll the old chariot along (x3) and we’ll all hang on behind

And a plate of Irish stew wouldn’t do us any harm,

Oh, a nice watch below wouldn’t do us any harm…

Oh, a good night ashore wouldn’t do us any harm…

Rolling Home G John Tams Round goes the wheel of fortune, don't be afraid to ride There's a land of milk and honey waits on the other side There'll be peace and there'll be plenty, you'll never need to roam When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home

Rolling home, when we go rolling home, when we go Rolling, rolling, when we go rolling home.

The gentry in their fine array, they prosper night and morn While we unto the fields must go to plough and sow the corn The rich they steal the power, but the glory's ours alone When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home

The frost is on the hedgerow, the icy winds do blow While we poor weary labourers strive through the driving snow Our dreams fly up to glory of where the lark has flown When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home

The summer of resentment, the winter of despair The journey to contentment is set with trap and snare Stand to and stand together, your labours yours alone When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home

Pass the bottle round and let the toast go free Here's a health to every labourer wherever they may be Fair wages are now or never, let's reap what we have sown When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home

Shining Light D Ash Verse 1 Roman candles that burn in the night, yeah, you are a shining light You lit a torch in the infinite, yeah, you are a shining light Yeah, you light up my life Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 113

You have always been a thorn in their side, but to me you're a shining light You arrive and the night is alive, yeah, you are a shining light Yeah, you light up my life

Chorus We made a connection, a full on chemical reaction Brought by dark divine intervention, yeah, you are a shining light A constellation once seen over royal David’s city An epiphany you burn so pretty, yeah, you are a shining light

Verse 2 You are a force, you are a constant source, yeah, you are a shining light Incandescent in the darkest night, yeah, you are a shining light Yeah, you light up my life My mortal blood I would sacrifice for you are a shining light Sovereign bride of the infinite, yeah, you are a shining light Yeah, you light up my life

“These are the days” you often say, “there's nothing that we cannot do.” Beneath a canopy of stars, I'd shed blood for you The north star in the firmament; you shine the most bright I've seen you draped in an electric veil, shrouded in celestial light Guitar Solo

Sing Out C Cat Stevens Well, if you want to sing out, sing out, And if you want to be free, be free 'Cause there's a million things to be, you know that there are And if you want to live high, live high, and if you want to live low, live low 'Cause there's a million ways to go, you know that there are

You can do what you want, the opportunity's on And if you can find a new way, you can do it today You can make it all true, and you can make it undo you see ah ah ah, its easy ah ah ah, you only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes, and if you want to say no, say no 'Cause there's a million ways to go, you know that there are And if you want to be me, be me, and if you want to be you, be you 'Cause there's a million things to do, you know that there are

Single Drop of Rain, A A Dave Camlin A single drop of rain falls upon a mountain-top Alone beneath the sky, dreaming of the ocean, And if, by chance, they hear the natter of a sparkling beck, They join the joyful dance, singing through the hills and onward to the sea. The river’s wide embrace keeps time and threads the pace, Containing in each drifting pulse a million drops of rain. We gather on the shore, and we let our voices soar Where the river meets the sea, And wonder how a single drop of rain becomes the ocean’s mighty swell.

Sit Down E I sing myself to sleep, a song from the darkest hour Secrets I can't keep in sight of the day Swing from high to deep, extremes of sweet and sour Hope that God exists, I hope, I pray Drawn by the undertow, my life is out of control I believe this wave will bear my weight, so let it flow

Oh sit down, oh sit down, oh sit down, sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down in sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear that you've been to some far out places It's hard to carry on when you feel all alone Now I've swung back down again, it's worse than it was before If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor

Those who feel the breath of sadness, sit down next to me Those who find they're touched by madness, sit down next to me Those who find themselves ridiculous, sit down next to me In love, in fear, in hate, in tears (x3) In love, in fear, in hate

Sloop John B C We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night, got into a fight Well I feel so broke up; I wanna go home

Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 116

So hoist up the John B's sail, see how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home Let me go home, I want to go home, Well I feel so broke up; I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Captain's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone? Well I feel so broke up; I wanna go home

The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home, why don't they let me go home? This is the worst trip I've ever been on

Song of the Century C Billie-Joe Armstron / Green Day Sing us a song of the century That's louder than bombs and eternity The era of static and contraband That's leading us into the promised land Tell us a story that's by candlelight Waging a war and losing the fight Sing a song of the century Of panic and promise and prosperity Tell me a story into that goodnight Sing us a song for me

Sing us a song of the century, Sings like American eulogy The dawn of my love and conspiracy Forgotten hopes and the class of ‘13 Tell us a story that's by candlelight Waging a war and losing the fight Sing a song of the century Of panic and promise and prosperity Tell me a story into that goodnight Sing us a song for me

Source of The Tyne, The Bm Dave Camlin and Voicebeat 2017 In the low autumn sun of the new millenium, We set forth from Wallsend with our load A new bridge, if you please, on an Asian Hercules And the river was much faster than the road. Oh, past cheers and seagulls’ cry, in its jaws a winking eye, Sailing up this mighty waterway so wide And with the bridge duly installed, we found ourselves enthralled, And went searching for the source of the Tyne

Winding West from Gateshead Quays, and the Tyne Bridge colonies Of Kitti- wakes whose song echoes the Geordie’s cries Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 118

Where ghosts of Keelmen wait in vain for coal at Dunston Staithes Past Bewick’s swans; a Cherryburn surprise! Bywell church: a place of calm, and a refuge from the storm Since Saxon times: history enshrined. And swimming on past Hexham, swee-ping upstream while good folk sleep, Salmon leap to find the source of the Tyne!

Where the South Tyne arises, the curlews cry, so high up on Alston Moor. Tastes peat on heather hill, tumbles down to Garrigill, Through Tynehead pastures to the valley floor. And then you softly tumble down, and curl round Alston Town, Then roll north again, your twin to entwine; And on this sacred ground, with glory all around That’s where we found the source of the Tyne.

Stand By Me (A) When the night has come and the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me So darlin', darlin' Stand by me, oh, stand by me Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me So darlin', darlin' Stand by me, oh, stand by me Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble, won't you Stand by me? Oh, stand by me Won't you stand now? Oh, stand, stand by me

Stir It Up C Bob Marley It's been a long, long time (yeah!) Since I’ve got you on my mind. Now that you’re here, I say, it's so clear To see what we can do, baby, just me and you.

I'll push the wood then I blaze ya fire; Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire. Said, I stir it every minute: All you got to do is keep the heat up

Quench me when I'm thirsty; Come on and cool me down, baby, when I'm hot. Your recipe (little darlin') is so tasty, And you sure can stir your pot.

Stray Love Cats Basses: Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent I'm flat broke but I don't care I strut right by with my tail in the air Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies cat I'm a feline Casanova, hey man that's that! Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man Get my dinner from a garbage can

Sops: We move like cagey tigers, we couldn't get closer than this The way we walk, the way we talk, The way we stalk, the way we kiss We slip through the streets, while everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go and throw all the songs we know

Into the sea, you and me, all these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring, it's a treacherous thing “We missed you”, hissed the lovecats

Basses: I don't bother chasing mice around I slink down the alleyway looking for a fight Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry, "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy" I wish I could be as carefree and wild But I got cat class and I got cat style

Sops: We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully pretty! Oh you know that I'd do anything for you We should have each other to tea We should have each other with cream Then curl up by the fire and sleep for awhile It's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream

Into the sea… (the tune x 2, then into the sea again!)

This Land is Your Land D Woody Guthrie This land is your land, this land is my land, From Carlisle-fornia to Walney Island From Grizedale Forest up to Blencathra This land was made for you and me

As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps to the sparkling shores of her diamond lakesides While all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me

When the sun came shining and I was strolling and the sheep-fields rising and the storm clouds rolling A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me

What a Wonderful World D Geore David Weiss, Robert Thiele I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

Wild Mountain Thyme D Oh the summertime is coming, and the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go?

I will build my love a bower near yon' pure crystal fountain And on it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain Will ye go, Lassie go?

If my true love she were gone, I would never find another To pull wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go?

Wood-cutter’s Song Cm Robin Williamson Oak logs will warm you well, that are old and dry Logs of Pine will sweetly smell, but the sparks will fly, Birch logs will burn too fast, chestnut scarce at all, sir And Hawthorn logs are good to last that are cut well in the fall, sir Now surely you will find there's... No compare with hardwood logs that's cut in the winter-time

Holly logs will burn like wax, you could burn them green Elm logs smell like smouldering flax with no flame to be seen, Beech logs for winter-time, yew logs as well, sir, Green Elder logs it is a crime for any man to sell, sir Now surely you will find there's... No compare with hardwood logs that's cut in the winter-time

World Turned Upside Down, The C Leon Rosselson In 1649 to St. George's Hill, A ragged band they called the Diggers Came to show the people's will. They defied the landlords, they defied the laws, They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs.

"We come in peace', they said, "to dig and sow; We come to work the lands in common And to make the waste ground grow. This earth divided, we will make whole, So it will be a common treasury for all."

"The sin of property we do disdain; No man has any right to buy and sell The earth for private gain. By theft and murder they took the land, Now everywhere the walls spring up at their command."

"They make the laws to chain us well; The clergy dazzle us with heaven Or they damn us into hell We will not worship the God they serve; The God of greed who feeds the rich while poor folk starve."

"We work, we eat together, we need no swords We will not bow to the masters, or pay rent to the lords. Still we are free, though we are poor. You Diggers all stand up for glory, stand up now."

From the men of property the orders came; They sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers' claim. Tear down their cottages, destroyed their corn; They were dispersed but still the vision lingers on.

You poor take courage, you rich take care; This earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share. All things in common, all people one. We come in peace; the orders came to cut them down.

Yellow Submarine D Rino Starr In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play

As we live our life of ease, Every one of us has all we need, Sky of blue and sea pf green, In our yellow submarine.

You are My Sunshine C Oliver Hood / Paul Rice, additional lyrics Dave Camlin You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don’t take my sunshine away.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed that you were by my side, But when I woke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried,

I’ll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same, But if you leave me to love another, You’ll regret it all someday.

In the dead of night, dear, I feel so lonesome And my poor heart’s in so much pain, But every morning is a new tomorrow And the sun will rise again.

Betsey-Jane, The F John Paen White The Betsey Jane sailed out of the Firth, As the Waits sang, "Christ is born on earth" The Betsey Jane sailed out of the Firth On Christmas day in the morning The Skipper steer'd to Gambia's coast; And dealt for slaves; and Westward cross'd; And sold their lives, and made his boast As he thought on Christmas morning.

And again and again from shore to shore, With his human freight for the golden ore- Again and again from shore to shore, Ere Christmas-day in the morning, He cross'd that deep with never a thought Of the sorrow, or wrong, or suffering wrought On souls and bodies thus sold and bought For gold, against Christmas morning!

And at length, with his gold and ivory rare, When the sun was low and the breeze was fair- At length with his gold and ivory rare He sailed, that on Christmas morning The wind was west, the moon was high, Of a hazy blue was the spangled sky, And the bells were ringing, and dawn was nigh, Just breaking on Christmas morning.

The Betsey-Jane sailed into the firth, As the bells rang "Christ is born on earth"- The Betsey-Jane sailed into the Firth, And it was upon Christmas morning! When the Betsey-Jane with a thundering shock Went ripping along on the Giltstone Rock, In sound of the bells which seemed to mock Her doom on Christmas morning.

With curse and shriek and fearful groan, On the foundering ship, in the waters lone-

Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 138

With curse and shriek and fearful groan, They sank on that Christmas morning! The Skipper with arms around his gold, Scared by dark spirits that loosed his hold, Was down the deep sea plunged and roll'd In the dawn on Christmas morning.

Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind Em William Shakespeare Blow, blow, thou winter wind! Thou art not so unkind as man’s ingratitude Thy tooth is not so keen because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Then ‘heigh ho!’ sing, ‘heigh ho!’ unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving is folly Then, ‘heigh ho, the holly!’ This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky! Thou dost not bite so nigh as benefit forgot Though thou the waters warp, thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not. Then ‘heigh ho!’ sing, ‘heigh ho!’ unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving is folly Then, ‘heigh ho, the holly!’ This life is most jolly.

Bright Wings D The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Fairytale of New York D It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank An old man said to me, ‘won't see another one’. And then he sang a song, ‘The Rare Old Mountain Dew’; I turned my face away and dreamed about you. Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling this year's for me and you So Happy Christmas, I love you baby I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old When you first took my hand on that cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome...... You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing, they howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing We kissed on the corner then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day

You're a bum, you're a punk You're an old slut on junk, Lying there almost dead, on a drip in that bed

You scum bag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God It's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir still singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day

I could have been someone...... Well, so could anyone You took my dreams from me when I first found you

Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 142

I kept them with me babe, I put them with my own Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

Gwydion’s Englyns Bm Verses (or enlyns) spoken by Gwydion, to restore his friend Lleu Llau Gyffes, the Welsh sun-od, from his banishment as an eale at the top of an old oak tree.

Grows an oak between two lakes, Darkly shadowed sky and glen, If I speak not falsely, From Lleu’s flowers this doth come.

Grows an oak on upland plain, Nor rain wets it, nor heat melts; Nine score hardships hath he suffered In its top, Lleu Llaw Gyffes.

Grows an oak upon a steep, The sanctuary of a fair lord; If I speak not falsely, lleu will come into my lap.

Here We Come a’Wassailling Here we come a wassailing among the leaves so green Here we come a-wandering so fair to be seen Love and joy come to you, peace and hope and friendship too And we bless you and wish you a happy new year And we wish you a happy new year!

We are not daily beggars who beg from door to door But we are neighbors' children whom you have seen before

We have got a little purse of stretching leather skin We want a little money to line it well within

Call up the butler of this house put on his golden ring Let him bring us a glass of beer and better we shall sing

Bring us out a table and spread it with a cloth Bring us out a moldy cheese and some of your Yuletide loaf

God bless the master of the house, the mistress bless also And all the little children around the table go

Good master and good mistress, while you sit by the fire Pray think of us poor children a-wand'ring in the mire

The Holly and The Ivy (Trad.) Cm The Holly and the Ivy, they could not agree The Ivy and the Holly who should have the mastery

1 Holly grows so tall and strong, as tall as any tree... And ivy’s heart is deeper, oh deeper than the sea… 2 Holly and his merry men, they can dance in halls… And Ivy and her women can outdance the merry men all… 3 Holly bears a berry as red as any rose… And Ivy’s berries are black, oh as black as any sloes… 4 Holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn… And ivy has a smooth leaf to soothe the prickle down… 5 Holly he knelt down and begged, “Do me no villainy!”… And Ivy she knelt down and begged, “Oh you do none to me!”…

Icicles Bbm William Shakespeare When icicles hang by the wall, and Dick the shepherd blows his nail When Tom bear logs into the hall, And milk comes frozen home in pail When blood is nipp’d, and ways be foul, then Nightly sings the staring owl, To-wit , to-woo, a merry note While Greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

Log Cabin Home E Robin Williamson All around this wild country, the winter it has now begun Now is the time to slip away from the California sun To a place where we can be as free as the wind, as wild as the huskie’s cry Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

With snow piling all round the door and many a log on the stove, With the chickadees singing a comforting song, I’ll show you it’s you that I love O let the wolves howl, they won’t find us here, ‘neath a soft oil lamp we will lie, Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

Now there comes a time to everyone when they must turn their back on the crowd When the glare of the lights gets much too bright and the music play too loud Everyone must run from the deeds they have done, recalling those days with a sigh Now winter is nigh, let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

River C Joni Mitchell It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees. Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace, Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

But it don't snow here, stays pretty green. I'm gonna make a lot of money, then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long, I would teach my feet to fly. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby cry.

Tried hard to help me, put me at ease. Loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees. Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad. Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I've ever had. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long, I would teach my feet to fly. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby say goodbye..

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees. Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace, Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

Star of Wonder G

Star of wonder in the heavens, wonder what you want of me? Should I follow you tonight, star of wonder, star of wonder?

I am just a lonely shepherd watching from a distant hill, Why do you appear to me, star of wonder, if you will?

In the morning they’ll come looking for the shepherd on the hill, What would make her leave her flock, Dave Camlin’s Community Song Book page 150

For surely she must love them still?

Star of wonder in the heavens, are you just a shining star Or should I follow you tonight, star of wonder, star of wonder, Shining bright!

Stop the Cavalry E Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here to say we're doing splendidly But it's very cold out here in the snow, marching to win from the enemy Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough, can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight, almost every night, down throughout these centuries That is when I say, oh yes yet again, can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home in the nuclear fall-out zone Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love Wish I was at home for Christmas

Bang! That's another bomb on another town while the Czar and Jim have tea If I get home, live to tell the tale, I'll run for all presidencies If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry.

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be dancing now in the arms of the girl I love Mary Bradley waits at home; she’s been waiting two years long

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wassail the Silver Apple G Wassail! Wassail! May the coming year, Peace and plenty bring, to all who wassail here.

Fire at the spirit of winter, fire at the spirit of night, Fire at the spirit of darkness, wassail the bringer of light.

Wassail the silver shilling, wassail the silver moon,

Shadows cast by brazen moon, silence veiled in mist, Gath’ring heavy in the sky: waiting, waiting.

Winter Wonderland Eb Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’? In the lane, snow is glistenin’ A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is the new bird He sings a love song, as we go along Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say, ‘are you married?’, we'll say, ‘no man, But you can do the job when you're in town.’

Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland
