[Sgt Pepper]

:D … Excellent Tommy !

Who ya gonna call?

:lol:

[Sgt Pepper]

The definitive version of this song can be found on Sting’s live opus of the mid-eighties.. Bring on the Night

This song was apparently penned late one night in 1983 in the French Quarter of New Orleans, where according to it’s creator “You can’t move for vampires after midnight” :shock: A deliciously eccentric, eerie and postively “cool” little tune.. inspired by Anne Rice’s novel Interview with a Vampire
.. and well.. urm yet again.. I find posting it on here somewhat.. erm… apt ..

:roll:

MOON OVER BOURBON STREET

There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I’ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights
The people
And the moon and all

I pray every day to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you’ll never see my shape
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

It was many years ago
That I became what I am
I was trapped in this life
Like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you’ll only see me walking
By the light of the moon

The brim of my hat
Hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner
But the hands of a Priest
Oh you’ll never see my shape
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street

She walks every day
Through the streets of New Orleans
She is innocent and young
From a family of means
I have stood
Many times
Outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct
In the pale moonlight

How could I be this way?
When I pray to God above..
I must love what I destroy
And destroy the thing I love

Oh you’ll never see my shape
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street..

Saw Batman Begins on 29th September. What a brilliant film. It puts real
flesh on the bones of the Batman character. His origins and how he came by
his hi-tech gadgets are all made more credible, and his early days training
with the Ninjas was cinematic heaven. A must see film if you haven’t already!

I agree Owen..
Awesome.. Inspiring stuff..

RACHEL DAWES : You could die. At least tell me your name.

BATMAN : It’s not who I am underneath, but what I Do that defines me.

The Breaking of The Fellowship

In Dreams / May It Be

When the cold of Winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams..
I can hear your name
And in dreams..
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there..
And back again..

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh how far you are from home

Mornie utulie..
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie..
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow’s call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie..
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie..
A promise lives within you now

A Promise Lives Within You Now..

[Sgt Pepper]

Promise me you’ll remember..
This love together today
We may not have tomorrow
It’s not for us to say
Fate isn’t kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise me you’ll remember..
How good we are

Why do I find a sadness
Under your sweetest kiss?
Destiny seems to whisper
It won’t stay like this..

Whenever we’re together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you’ll remember..
How good we are

Whenever we’re together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I Always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you’ll remember..
How good we are

Time isn’t kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise me you’ll remember..
How good..
We are..

[Sgt Pepper]

For what we gain in losing..

Ghost Story

I watch the western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying south
It sets me thinking..
I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come
His icy sinews
Now in the firelight
The case continues
Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial

The shadows close me round
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire’s embers
Why was I missing then
That whole December?
I give my usual line
I don’t remember

Another winter comes
His icy finger’s creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep
And all these differences
A cloak I borrowed
We kept our distances
Why should it follow
I must have loved you..

What is the force that binds the stars?
I wore This mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide?
Never could find a place to hide
What moves the earth around the sun?
What could I do but run and run and run?
Afraid to love
Afraid to fail
A mast without a sail

The moon’s a fingernail
And slowly sinking
Another day begins
And now I’m thinking..
That this indifference
Was my invention
When everything I did
Sought your attention

You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate’s map
Of buried treasure

If this was all correct
The last thing I’d expect
The prosecution rests
It’s time that I confessed..
I must have loved you

I must have loved you

I must have loved you…

Well.. that is a shame MORPH. But I must say I do like your signature picture thingy.. the whole Toon Vader gig is most impressive.

[Sgt Pepper]

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on..

[Sgt Pepper]

I’m not the Mae West at ye olde English :roll:… I tend (under a tenuous shroud of national enthusiasm) to Oirland-ify the whole gig to conceal my deficiencies :oops: … Buttttt, now that I’ve returned after my self imposed “decommissioning” I shall endeavour (so I shall) to add a tad more variety to my above mentioned Oirglish… and even attempt an odd Beatle-esque flourish to my Celtic rambling…

As in…

For example…

(gather and surmise)…

“They do though don’t they don’t they though? (to be sure)”

Indeed.

[Sgt Pepper]

It’s a still life watercolour
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives

And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we’ve lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives

Yes we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can analysis be worthwhile?
Is the theatre really dead?
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You’re a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

Simon and Garfunkel
