THE BATTLE IS OVER by Jonny Cash
I think sir the battle is over and a young soldier lay down his gun
I'm tired of running for cover,I'm certain the battle is done
For see over there where we fought them,it's quite for they've all gone away
All's left is the dead and the dying,the blue lying 'long side the grey
So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun
You carelessly rise from your cover,for you think the battle is done
But boy hit the dirt listen to me,for I'm still the one in command
Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand
Can you hear the death burning rumble,can you feel the trembling ground
It's not just the horses and wagons,that make such a death burning sound
For every shot fired had an echo,and every man killed wanted life
There lies your friend Jim McKenny,can you take the news to his wife
No son the battles not over,the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover,the part that has blackened the sun
The fight's not to come yet with cannons,nor will the fight be hand to hand
No one will regroup the forces,no charge will a General command
The battle will rage in the bosom ,of mother and sweetheart and wife
Brothers,sisters and daughters will grieve for the rest of their lives
Now go ahead and rise from your cover,be thankful that God let you live
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give
I see sir the battle's not over,the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover, the part that has darkened the sun
For there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky
I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle on high

The Battle of Knackers
a brilliant outstanding piece in film making which follows the journey of two brothers who get into a spot of trouble with the authorities and will have to do everything in there grasp to stay alive.......not really more like this is wot happens when you are stoned out of your head with a few mates and have nothing but a digital camera and a few wrestler figurines by your side and planty of wild ideas in your head so you just have to film yourself playing with toys and making them fight each other in a grueling battle of over 2 mintues watch and enjoy lol xxx
Remember the Alamo!
March, the 6th, 1836. The Alamo has fallen, it's all over. 189 fighting heroes have just given their lives for their country, their families and their property. They've resisted for thirteen days of glory against an army of 7,000. And have never surrendered. Victory or Death!
They died. As heroes.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh.
Any man that would fight to the death cross over,
But him that would live better fly
And over the line went a hundred and seventy nine
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below,
That men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo
Bowie lay dyin', but his powder was ready and dry
Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young David Crockett was singin' and laughin',
With gallantry fierce in his eyes
For God and for freedom, a man more than willin' to die
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below,
that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo
And then they sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud,
With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud
"Grieve not little darlin' my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free,
We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be"
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below,
that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo
No copyright violation intended!
The Alamo
This one is for my friend Kevin.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
Any man that would fight to the death, cross over
But if you wanna live, you better fly
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine
Chorus:
Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers below
So men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo
Old Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry
Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin'
with gallantry tears in eyes
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die
Repeat chorus
They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud
With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud
Grieve not little darlin', my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be
Repeat chorus
Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone - Love Potion #9 - The Battle Of New Orleans - Dandy - Folsome Prison Blues 06/27/2008
Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone - Love Potion #9 (The Clovers cover) - The Battle Of New Orleans (written by Jimmie Driftwood recorded by many, most associated w/ Johnny Horton's 1959 recording) - Dandy - Folsome Prison Blues (Johnny Cash cover) @ the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, California - June 27th, 2008 (see lyrics below)
Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone was number four on our summer concert agenda. We are huge fans of the British Invasion of the 1960s. However, even if we were not, we would still love Peter Noone immensely. He is such a great showman and going to his concerts have become a yearly event for my family. If fact, we are actually card-carrying members of his fan club. We were able to see the show right on the beach at the historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. What a fun and memorable experience. The city of Santa Cruz really goes all out to attract tourism. Definitely, go see Peter Noone's show. He is funny, friendly, and genuinely personable. Mr. Noone is a true gentleman. We were amazed at how many teens and young adults seemed familiar with this music. Everyone, young and old, sang along, danced, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Also, catch the free Friday night oldies concerts held at the Boardwalk. These shows have great acts, are very family orientated, and did I mention they are free of charge. You will have to wait in line for a good seat. We arrived at 11:15 am for a 6:30 pm show and still had over 20 people ahead of us. This was a gigantic crowd. But great extras like allowing ice-chests and low lawn-chars, as well as, two different autograph sessions, makes this a must-revisit venue.

Love Potion #9 lyrics
(The Clovers)
I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
------ guitar solo ------
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine

Dandy
Dandy, Dandy
Where you gonna go now?
Who you gonna run to?
All your little life
You're chasin' all the girls
They can't resist your smile
Uh-hmm, they long for
Dandy, Dandy
Chattin' up the ladies
Ticklin' their fancy
Pourin' out your charms
To meet your own demands
And you turn it off at will
Huh-oh, they long for
Dandy, Dandy
Knockin' on the back door
Climbin' through the window
Hubby's gone away
And while the cat's away
The mice are gonna play
Uh-hmm, you low-down
Dandy, Dandy, Dandy
Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast
And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past
Look around you and see the people settle down
And when you're old and grey
You will remember what they said
That two girls are too many,
Three's a crowd and four you're dead
Oh Dandy, Dandy
When you gonna give up?
Are you feelin' old now?
You always will be free
And you need no sympathy
A bachelor you will stay
And Dandy you're all right
You're all right
You're all right
Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
The Killers, All These Things I've Done (With Lyrics)
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
...
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
