The Dubliners : The Fields of Athen Rye
this makes me wail and blubber like nobodys business
ATHEN RYE
v.1 By lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling,
"Michael, they have taken you away !"
You stold Tim Valien's corn so the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."
Chorus: And low lies the fields of Athen Rye,
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 Athen Rye.
v.2 By lonely prison walls, I heard a young man calling,
"Nothing matters Mary when your free.Against the famine
And the crown I rebelled they cut me down,
Now you must raise our child with dignity."
cho.
By lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling.
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
Now she lives and hopes and prays for her love in Botany bay
Its so lonely round the fields of Athen Rye.
cho.
play that clicky and read the words, its basically about the scumbag aristocracy british bar stewards who stole, ruined and raped Ireland and anyone who got in their way was basically shipped off to Tazmania
(aka Van Demens Land)
@Tim S the adagio also has a choral version called 'Angus Dei'
EDIT: hey, I've just managed my first 'clicky'
YAY ME!!!

No doubt it's been said on the four previous pages I can't be bothered to read, but Catholic boys don't cry. They just confess.

Wrong. Try again.
What I did was, right click on the picture proper, then use 'copy picture location' (I've got the Dutch Firefox, so I hope the translations is somewhat correct), and paste it here in the Reply Field. Add
at the end and hey presto! there it is!
(note: pictures end on an extension like '.jpg' or '.gif' That should be the end of your link most of the time. As you see above, yours ends in a number, eg '1260')

The film "The Crow" makes me well up - I'm a sucker for tragic love after death stories. By association, Jane Siberry's 'It Can't Rain All The Time' (from the movie soundtrack) sometimes sets me off.
For more personal stuff from my formative years, songs by T'Pau (especially 'Heart and Soul' and 'China in your Hand') remind me of being dumped by my first girlfriend at 14, and still sometimes invoke that old twisting feeling in the pit of my stomach, if not actual tears.
I find Voltaire's 'Where's The Girl' quite poignant, for other reasons.
No doubt there are others.

Blue Lover sometimes.
I know, it's about a massacre.

No, it's not. (I take it you're referring to "Lowdown" on 3rd Generation?)
Trust me, I use the handwritten lyrics as a bookmark.
It namechecks Jonestown of course... but I was told it was about something else, far more prosaic.

Yeah. On the LP it's called "Blue Lover".
Well, whatever it's about, it's still a great song, and I wish I'd written it.
