Sugested Lyrics from Chris De Burgh

Big City Sundays

Birds on the wing, we are the lost generationWe have to

Letting Go

I can tell by your eyes you've had one of those

When the Dream Is Over

When the dream is over, hold it in your heartKeep it

Tender Hands

Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat

Have a Care

With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to

Corrina Corrina

Corrina, CorrinaWhere've you been so long?Corrina, CorrinaWhere've you been so long?I'm

The Last Thing on My Mind

It's a lesson too late for the learningMade of sand, made

Leningrad

There she stood in an empty room, heard a voice from

Broken Wings

These broken wings can take me no furtherI'm lost , and

Sailor

Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghostShe's been

Tourist Attraction

Down in the jungle, you can hear a rumbleWay up the

Songbird

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing

What You Mean To Me

Una mesa para dos, vino tinto de la casaEsta noche vaya

The Best That Love Can Be

There was a time that fire was burning brightAnd everthing was

This Silent World

This silent world, we're living inNobody knows, nobody knows 'bout me

I’m Not Scared Anymore

When I'm lying in the armsOf the woman I loveI'm completely

Last Night

Last night i was walking through the harbourWhere the fishing boats

Chain of Command

Here lies poor John, John from AberdeenHe gave his life for

Confession

I got a confession to makeI can't get you out of

Don’t Pay the Ferryman

ohOh-oh, oh-oh-ohOh-oh, ohOh-oh, was late at night on

The complete song text appears below.


And so it began
The story how Elzevir would look after John as his own son
And the smugglers betrayed on Moonfleet Bay
By Maskew looking now at Elzevir's gun

Then a shot rang out in the morning light
Maskew fell, a hole between his eyes
But it was his own men who brought him down
And they also got poor John - oh, they also shot poor John

Oh, it's a dangerous world boys
Oh, with the smuggling crew
Oh, it's a dangerous life boys
When you're running from the Revenue
When you're running from the Revenue

And so to escape it came now for Elzevir to pick up the boy
And carry him away
For he could not walk with a bullet in the leg
And they made for the safety of the Purbeck cave

T'was there that John would read one night
The words in the locket by candlelight
For the Bible verses held the key to Blackbeard's hidden treasure
At the bottom of a Castle well
Oh, it's a dangerous world boys
Oh, in a smuggler's life
Oh, in the Days of our Age boys
That's where the secret of the Treasure lies
That's where the secret of the Treasure lies

Oh we're going to be rich boys
The treasure we will find
Blackbeard's bones are dancing here tonight
Yes, we're going to be rich boys, the treasure we will find
At fourscore-feet-deep-well-North is where it lies!
