...Unpublished Rhyme...

I love this song:

Near a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away
For you stole trevelyens corn so the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Molly when you're free
Against the famine and the crown I rebelled they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in barney bay
It's so lonely round the fields of athenry

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

Good Day...

I bought my very first vinyl record yesterday:

Flogging Molly

within a mile of home.



(Now all I need is a record player.)




Oh, Kris told me you might like to hear this:

While watching a U2 DVD last night, Bono's long hair reminded me of the pictures you put up of yourself when your hair was about 2/3 his length.

Flogging Molly is out on LP? oh wow. Coldplay also puts their albums on LP.

know what? that's exactly the look I was going for....I didn't pull it off all that well, but that's okay :)
