Three days of Peace, Love & Music

Shot at the Mariposa Folk Festival Ontario, Canada

Camera used: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S750

Lyrics:
The girl works at the store sweet jane st. clair
Was dazzled by her smile while I shopped there
It wasnt long before I lived with her
I sang her songs while she dyed her hair

Chorus:
Jane, divided, but I cant decide what side Im on
Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run
Jane, jane

Id bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
Thats why she thinks its cooler if wed just stay friends
Jane doesnt think a man could ever be faithful
Jane isnt giving me a chance to be shameful
Jane, jane
I wrote a letter, she should have got it yesterday
That life could be better by being together
Is what I cannot explain to jane
The girl works at the store, sweet jane st. clair
Was dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there
No promises as vague as heaven
No juliana next to my evan
Jane, desired by the people at the school and work
Jane is tired, cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk
Jane, jane

Skyclad “The Declaration Of Indifference”

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Can’t believe nobody has uploaded this absolute all-time classic yet. Skyclad are the greatest folk-metal band of all time and The Declaration Of Indifference is one of their finest. From the album “A Burnt Offering To The Bone Idol”

There’s a “Fat Cat” sitting in a Caddilac
Riding ten feet off the floor
Who says “I used to do a little, but I couldn’t get enough
And so a little got more and more.”
Well I’ve nothing to show for all these years -
But it still makes me smile
That the ones you always hear the most
Say nothing that’s worthwhile.
No gold, no frankincense or myrrh we bring
Just faith and this “burnt offering”
So raise your voice with mine and sing
A hymn to long lost causes.
Pledge allegiance to pretence
The white flag of indifference
You sought a grail forged of fools gold
And on the quest your souls were sold.
Living the life of milk and honey
I bet it tastes real sweet
Now the “chicks” are queueing cus
They all want screwing down on
Institution street.
Does it feel so cool when you act
The fool with “Charlie”, “H” and “E”?
Well to my way of thinking there’s
A whole lot of nothing where your
Brains should be.
This planet burns and you couldn’t really care
That your head (unlike the Earth) is full of air
If there’s anybody in there – time has come to face the real world
Pledge allegiance to pretence
The white flag of indifference
You sought a grail forged of fools gold
And on the quest your souls were sold.
They’re walking tall yet heading nowhere
Shouting loud but saying nothing
So empty-headed, hollow hearted
Tell me how this farce got started
If there’s anybody in there – time has come to face the real world.
Pledge allegiance to pretence
The white flag of indifference
You sought a grail forged of fools gold
And on the quest your souls were sold.
