Halleluiajh by Jeff Buckley
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd OUT DREW YA
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah <<(held for a long time)
Hallelujah

Daydream Believer by the Monkees

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

[Instrumental interlude]

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
[Repeat and fade]

Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

And not forgetting my last two favourite ones....


Big Spender by Shirley Bassey

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a
man of distinction
a real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know
what's going on in my mind
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork
for every guy I see
Hey big spender
spend a little time with me
Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun
Hows about a few laughs, laughs
I could show you a good time
Let me show you a good time
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction,
a real big spender
good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know what's going
on in my mind
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey big spender
hey big spender
hey big spender
spend a little time with me

And last but not least Follow me up to Carlow!!!

Lift MacCahir Og your face
Brooding o'er the old disgrace
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place,
Drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he'd secure;
Until he met at Glenmalure
With Feach MacHugh O'Byrne.

Curse and swear Lord Kildare,
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now FitzWilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star, low.
Up with halberd out with sword
On we'll go for by the lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow.

See the swords of Glen Imayle,
Flashing o'er the English pale
See all the children of the Gael,
Beneath O'Byrne's banners
Rooster of the fighting stock,
Would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock,
Fly up and teach him manners.

From Tassagart to Clonmore,
There flows a stream of Saxon gore
Oh, great is Rory Oge O'More,
At sending loons to Hades.
White is sick and Lane is fled,
Now for black FitzWilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red,
To Liza and her ladies.


Hope I haven't doubled up on the list, went through it afew times and couldn't see that I had, but I am in work which means I am half asleep..!!!

oh.. just as I had it posted I tought of another one... an essential as well.....


Don't stop believing by Journey

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people

That's it now... I Hope...!!!!

cheers mossie.

ave to add kid rocks new song as well

caladona tom, do u know dat one ,i might give ye a verse sunday night of d rally

How about the assuming song?? Goes something like this

"There was an old farmer who lived on a rock
He sat in the meadow just shaking his...

Fist at some boys who were down by the crick.
Their feet in the water their hands on their...

Marbles and playthings and at half past four
There came a young lady who looked like a...

Pretty young creature she sat on the grass.
She pulled up her dress and she showed them her..

Ruffles and laces and white fluffy duck.
She said she was learning a new way to...

Bring up her children so they would not spit.
While the boys in the barnyard were shovelling...

Refuse and litter from yesterday's hunt.
While the girl in the meadow was rubbing her...

Eyes at the fellow down by the dock
He looked like a man with a sizeable..

Home in the country with a big fence out front
If he asked her politely she'd show him her...

Little pet dog who was subject to fits
And maybe she'd let him grab hold of her...

Small tender hands with a movement so quick
And then she'd bend over and suck on his...

Candy so tasty made of butterscotch
And then he'd spread whipped cream all over her...

Cookies that she had left on the shelf
If you think this is dirty you can so **** yourself

TGQ, so dissapointed there isn't one Dolly song in there! How's about a bit of 9-5 for the rally!

And just for me, a bit of Jolene "flaming locks of auburn hair" an' all that

Or the Red rose cafe

I'll do my best to add them all, but dont intend making it any bigger than 100 songs.

while on the subject, what are the 10 biggest Macra songs.

My lovely horse was a popular one in the residents bar in the Gleneagle last Saturday night? Probably not good enough for the song book.

tgq what bout mandy moore song cry for the song book

Mandy Moore - Cry Lyrics are

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark grey sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment that I saw you cry
cry..moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But i was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon...
In places no one would find...

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Baby cry!
The moment I saw you cry
Oh no, no, no
i think i saw you cry

I wanted to know you!
I wanted to hold you!

prob not lively enough bit a slow one in parts.

You'll have to put in a couple Eurovision hits, "Why me?", or "The Rock n' Roll kids"!

Ah damn, just had another look at your list and i see "Rock n Roll kids" on it. Cancel my suggestion!

couldn't be bothered starting a new thread for this but what did people think of j90's version of killing in the name of on the sat nyt.

thought it was the one song that got the whole place hopping. could easily be a macra regular along the lines of ac-dc thunderstruck

Ha couldnt believe they played that song!!

Legendary it was place was definitly rocking alright quality stuff!! The band were brilliant and they even wore my sunglasses!! ( has anyone seen them by the way some girl stole them off my head and legged it )

Count myself lucky to have seen Rage against the Machine live!! Tom Morello is a genius!!

Say it could be a while before we hear it again at a macra gig though first time ive heard it at one!! Its barred in some places in Drogheda Ha !!!

heard it once before live, thats y it can as such a shock. cornell played it with audioslave at oxygen a couple of yrs back. was class

the band were class, they're meant to play regularly in cork so am def goin to c them the nxt time they're playin.

if thats the case tis a shame i won't be hearing it for a while at least tis something that will last long in the memory of this rally
