Brief Candles Composer(s): Chris White Performer(s): The Zombies; The Posies
There she sits her hands are held Tight around her glass She only needs to be alone She knows this mood will pass To realize that she was strong And he too weak to stay And to realize that she is better off this way
Brief candles in her mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where she can see What makes it all worthwhile Her sadness makes her smile...
His alone girl fades away Left out on a limb Finds he needs her more because She's no more need for him He understood so very well The things she had to say Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile...
In the corner see his face The man just sips his drink Not one feeling does he show Far too numb to think He does not say a single word No word of love to say Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile...

Oh Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken With a hopeless desolation I'd have you to know It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go
The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm seas And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me
My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now For another has taken My love for his own
The day is approaching when we were to be married And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve Oh, meet me, My Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you have my heart shaken With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go

Bridget Flynn Composer(s): Will Millar Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass I've a plant garden running by my door I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try To find a girl that owns a bit of land And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so It would mollify them so to agree Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold And that's a decent dowry, don't you see And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush If she'd come and have an eye for me

Brian's Song Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand Originally performed by: Michel Legrand Covered by various other artists
If the hands of time Were hands that I could hold I'd keep them warm and in my hands They'd not turn cold
Hand in hand we'd choose The moments that should last The lovely moments that should have No future and no past
The summer from the top of a swing The comfort in the sound of a lullaby The innocence of leaves in the spring But most of all the moment when love first touched me
All the happy days Would never learn to fly Until the hands of time would choose To wave "Good-bye"
Hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben! Här e brev från älsklingsgrabben Vi har kul på kolonien vi bor tjugoåtta gangstergrabbar i en stor barack med massa sängar Kan ni skicka mera pengar? För det vore en god gärning jag har spelat bort varenda dugg på tärning
Här e roligt vill jag lova fastän lite svårt att sova Killen som har sängen över mej han vaknar inte han när han behöver, nej!
Jag har tappat två framtänder för jag skulle gå på händer när vi lattjade charader så när morsan nu får se mej får hon spader
Uti skogen finns baciller men min kompis han har piller som han köpt utav en ful typ och om man äter dom blir man en jättekul typ
Föreståndarn han har farit han blir aldrig vad han varit för polisen kom och tog hand om honom förra veckan när vi lekte skogsbrand
Uti skogen finns det rådjur i baracken finns det smådjur och min bäste kompis Tage han har en liten fickkniv inuti sin mage
Honom ska dom operera Ja, nu vet jag inget mera Kram och kyss och hjärtligt tack sen men nu ska vi ut och bränna grannbaracken!
