Father To Son
A word in your ear
From father to son...
Hear the word that I say
I fought
with you
Fought on your side
Long before you were born
Joyful the sound
The word goes around
(From) father to son
And
the voice is so clear
Time after time it keeps on
Calling you calling you on
Don't destroy what you see
Your country
to be
Just keep building on the ground
That's been won
Kings will be crowned
The word goes around
From father to son
to son...
(Won't you hear us sing)
Our family song?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba - ooh yeah
Now we hand it on -
ooh
- But I've heard it all before -
Take this letter that I give you
Take it sonny hold it high
You won't
understand a word that's in it
But you'll write it all again before you die
A word in you ear
From father to
son...
Funny you don't hear
A single word that I say
But my letter to you
Will stay by my side
Through the
years
Till the loneliness is gone
Sing if you will...
But the air you breathe
I live to give you
Father
to son
Father to, father to, father to son
Joyful the sound
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Kings will be crowned
Earth goes around
Father to son to son
Joyful
the sound
Word goes around
Father to son to son
Kings will be crowned
Earth goes around
Father to son to son...
White Queen (As It Began)
So sad her eyes, smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes as it began...
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I
walked alone
And all around the air did sway
May Lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known.
The White Queen
walks
And the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad my eyes she cannot see
How did thee fare what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I
call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I love the
footsteps that she made
And when see came
White Queen how my heart did ache
And dried my lips no word would make
So
still I wait...
My Goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait
Dear friend - goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends as it
began
Some Day One Day
You never heard my song before
The music was too loud
But now I think you hear
me well
For now we both know how.
No star can light our way
In this cloud of dark and fear
But someday one day...
Funny
how he pages turn
And hold us in between
A misty castle waits for you
And you shall be a Queen (You should be a Queen)
Today
the cloud it hangs
Over us and all is grey
But someday one day...
When I was you and you were me
And we were
very young
Together took us nearly there
The rest may not be sung
So still the cloud it hangs
Over us and we're
alone
But someday one day...
...We'll come home
The Loser In The End
Mama's got a problem
She don't know what to say
Her little baby boy
Has just
left home today
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the end
Misuse her and you'll lose
her as a friend
She's Ma on who you can always depend ooh
She washed and fed and clothed and cared
For nearly
twenty years
And all she gets is 'Goodbye Ma'
And the night times for her tears
She's got to be the loser in the end
She's got to be the loser in the
end
Misuse her and you'll lose her as a friend
She's Ma on whom you can always depend ooh
So listen mothers everywhere
To
just one mother's son
You'll get forgotten on the way
If you don't let them have their fun
Forget regrets and just
remember
It's not so long since you were young
You're bound to be the loser in the end
You're bound to be the
loser in the end
They'll choose their new shoes
That's not far to bend
You're Ma on whom they can always depend ooh
ooh
Ogre Battle
Now once upon a time
An old man told me a fable
When the piper is gone
And the
soup is cold upon the table
And if the black crow flies
To find a new destination
That is the sign
Come tonight
Come
to the ogre site
Come to ogre battle-fight!
He gives a great big cry
And he can swallow up the ocean
With
mighty tongue he catches flies
And the palm of his hand incredible size
One great big eye
Has to focus in your direction
Now
the battle is on
Yeah yeah yeah
Come tonight
Come to the ogre site
Come to ogre battle-fight
Ah
aaah...
The ogre en are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of site
You can't
see in but they can see out
- 'Keep a look out' -
The ogre men are comming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're
running up behind and they're comming all about
Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south
Ogre men are going home
And
the great big fight is over
Bugle blow that trumpet cry
Ogre Battle lives for ever more...
Oh oh oh
So - you can come along
You can come along
Come to ogre
battle
The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke
He's a fairy feller!
Ah ah...
The fairy folk have gathered 'round the new moon's shine
To see the feller
crack a nut at night's noon time
To swing his axe he swears - as he climbs he dares
To deliver...
The master-stroke!
Ploughman 'waggoner will' and types
Politician
with sentorial pipe
He's a dilly-dally oh
Pedagogue squinting wears a frown
And a satyr peers under lady's gown -
dirty fellow
What a dirty laddio!
Tatterdemalion and a junketer
There's a thief and a dragonfly
trumpeter
He's my hero aah
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
The nymph in yellow
(can we see the master stroke?)
What a quaere fellow!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Soldier sailor tinker
tailor ploughboy
Waiting to hear the sound
And the arch magician presides
He is the leader
Oberon and Titania
watched by a harridan
Mab is the Queen and there's a good apothecary man
Come to say hello
Fairy dandy tickling the fancy of his lady friend
The nymph in yellow...What
a quaere fellow!
The ostler stares with hands on his knees
Come on mister feller crack
it open if you please
Nevermore
There's no living
in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry
And the rain's stopped falling
Please don't you cry anymore
Can't you
see?
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don't seed me to the path of nevermore
Even the valley's below
Where
the rays of the sun
Were so warm and tender
Now haven't anything to grow
Can't you see?
Why did you have to leave
me?
(Nevermore, nevermore)
Why did you deceive me?
You sent me to the
path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore - ah ah
Nevermore, nevermore
The March Of The Black Queen
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Why don't you mean it?
Why do I follow you and where do you go...?
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
You've never seen nothing like it
no never in you're life
Like going up to Heaven and then coming back alive
Let me tell you all about it - and the World
will so allow it
Oooh give a little time to choose
Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight
Blue powder monkeys
praying in the dead of night
Here comes the Black Queen poking in the pile
Fie-fo the Black Queen
marching single file
Take this, take that bring them down to size
Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys
Little
nigger sugar then a rub-a-dub a baby oil
Black on, black on every finger nail and toe we've only begun - begun
Make
this, make that keep making all that noise
(Ooh march to the Black Queen)
Now I've got a belly-full
You can be my
sugar-baby you can be my honey-chile, yes
A voice from behind me reminds me
Spread out your little wings you are
an angel
Remember to deliver with the speed of light
(A little bit of love) and joy
Everything you do bears a will
And
a why and a wherefore
A little bit of love and joy.
In each and every man lies a man
And very soon he'll deceive and discover
But
even till the end of his life
He'll bring a little love...
Ah ah ah ah ah
I reign with my left hand I rule with
my right
I'm Lord of all darkness I'm Queen of the night
I've got the power - now to do the march of the Black Queen
'My
life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie
I'll be what you make me I'll do what you like
I'll be a bad boy I'll be
your bad boy
I'll do the march of the Black Queen'
Ah ah ah ah ah
Walking true to style
She's vulgar 'buse and vile - fie-fo
The Black Queen tattoes all her pies
She boils and she bakes
And she
never dots her I's
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la
Forget your sing-a-longs and your lullabies
Surrender
to the city of the fireflies
Dance with the devil in beat with the band
To Hell with all you hand in hand
But now
it's time to be gone - (La la la la)
Forever forever
Ah ah ah ah ah

Seven Seas Of Rhye
Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command
your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye
Can you hear me you peers
and privy councellors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear
that you'll be mine
The seven seas of Rhye
Sister ooh - I live and lie for you
Mister ooh - do and I'll die
You
are mine, I possess you
Belong to you forever-ever, ever....oohh
Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through
By
flash and thunder fire I'll survive
I'll survive I'll survive...
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive
- then I'll get you!
Be gone with you you shod and shady senators
Give out the good and leave out the bad evil cries
I
challenge the Mighty Titan and his troubadours
And with a smile..
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye
"...I do like to be beside the sea-si-de
I do like to be beside the sea,
All along beside the sea
I beside myself with greed
Beside the sea..."
