Toast - Recommended Song

This is for Bedirhan on Disqus.

Evening all.

I'd like to tell you a story about when I was a very young boy. I must have been three or four months old at the time, and I didn't know what I wanted, but if I did, I wouldn't have known how to tell anybody, 'cos all I could do was gurgle. So I sat there in me [my] highchair, thinking one day, looking at me [my] tray and thinking what I'd give for a meal on there. So I started looking round the kitchen to see what I could have. I was rubbing me [my] eggy soldier in me [on my] head, trying to think, and then I looked over in the corner and there's a yellow and white breadbin with its mouth open, just staring at me, like. I saw bread in there.

15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest - Recommended Song

We listened to and disussed this murderous sea shanty in the Kitely session on "Talk Like A Pirate Day".   

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Drink and the devil had done with the rest.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike,
The bosun brained with a marlinspike,
And cookey's throat was marked belike,
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing den.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Cry Little Sister - Recommended Song

 

A last fire will rise behind those eyes.
Black house will rock. Blind boys don't lie!
Immortal fear, that voice so clear,
Through broken walls. That scream I hear!

Wake up.
You know you got to [you've got to] wake up baby!

If you don't wake up.
Darling we could break up.
Thank you very much.

Long Time - Recommended Song

It's been a long time, 
Since I've seen your smiling face.
It's been a long time, 
Since I've seen a su-u-u-u-u-u-unny day.

3 wheels on my wagon - Recommended Song

 

Three wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along.
The Cherokees are chasing me,
Arrows fly, right on by,
But I’m singing a happy song.

I’m singing, "A higgity, haggity, hoggety, high,
Pioneers, they never say die.
Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by."
