Our King has cried a noble cry
And well kept it must be
The English lords are coming down
To dance and win the victory
Our King has cried a noble cry
And well kept it must be
"Go saddle ye and bring to me The Bonny Lass of Anglesey"
So up she starts as white as the milk
Between him and his company
Saying "what is the thing I have to ask If I should win the victory?"
"You'll get fifteen ploughs and a mill
& I'll give thee to the day thou die
The fairest knight in all of my court to take for your husband for to be"
"Oh there's not a Knight in all of your court
That'll make me the bride to be
But to keep my land free of foes, well this will be my victory"
So she's taken the fifteen lords by the hand
Saying "Won't you come dance with me?"
By the evening at ten o' clock they gave it over most shamefully
Then up then raised the fifteenth lord
What an angry man was he
He's laid free beside him his belt and his sword, to the floor he gazed manfully
He said "My feet my feet will be my death
Before she wins the victory"
By the morning at ten o'clock, oh, he gave it over most shamefully
So you English lords that do travel this land
Take heed of what I do say
Hold your swords low and two feet on the ground
Beware of the Lass of Anglesey, the bonny Lass of Anglesey

There's a flame in my heart that refuses to die
It was born of this land, lives in you and I
Born of This Land You & I
Pour me a drink landlord I just don't care any more
The Queen;s head in my pocket won't even pay for the food for the ones I love

An Atheist's Grave
03:09
|

|
One day as I sauntered among the churchyard dead
I marked one grave where the Sexton said an atheist's ashes lay
A headstone appointed a lonely spot inscribed with his his age and name
But other memorials there were not to mark either praise or blame

We Need a Mother

Young people today they don't know what to sing for
You ask them to fight and they'll say "What are we fighting for?"
Oh God..
We need a Mother not a God right now.

There is a day, a dreadful day Still following the past
When sun and moon have passed away and
Mingled with the blast

Bring me a strong man, one who speaks to me
William Morris , Wat Tyler, people who speak to me
& We can believe, oh, we can dream...
