Actually a quite tricky one, since I know it is originally a ballad (by whom, I do not remember) that was once adapted into a feature film I've seen ages ago. However, since I own the album, I go with Loreena McKennitt's "The Highwayman" from her album "The Book of Secrets". Please correct me if I was wrong.


It is the highwayman by Alfred Noyes. He wrote it as a poem in 1906. It was then tranformed into a song in 1914 for the MacDowell Festival, Peterborough, N.H. Since then alot of versions have poped up.

Here goes mine: One of my favorite songs at the moment. Since the lyrics are nowhere to be found on the internet as far as I know, I make it easy by using the chorus:

This old heart is beating for her
The sweetness in her spark
It's gonna make me stay


Is it This old heart of mine?

My lyrics

Believe me
Tell me what you see
Everybody's changing


Invincible ?

here is mine
Hear this voice from deep inside / It's the call of your heart /
Close your eyes and you will find / The way out of the dark / ...
Here I am,

or

I've never been lucky in love
My defences are down
A kiss or a frown
I can't survive on my own

Balrog Boogie - Diablo Swing Orchestra

Had to google that one.

Well, my dog died just yesterday, left me all alone
The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home
But that's just a drop in the bucket gal
compared to losing you, and I'm down to.....

with all due respect, you didn't look hard enough- it was charlie musselwhite's version of van morrison's "times gettin' tougher than tough."

Forgot to post more lyrics. :oops:

Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore

Here's an easy one:

With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
