The Forgotten Tales

MR. SANDMAN

The Chordettes
(music & lyrics: Pat Ballard)

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make it the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her two lips like roses in clover
Then tell her that my lonesome nights are over

Mister Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make it the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell her that my lonesome nights are over

Mister Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Give her a pair of eyes with a congeal of gleam
Give her a lonely heart like Harlehatschi
And not so wavy hair like Liberatschi

Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're to old
So please turn on your magic bean
Mister Sandman, brings us
Please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Yeah...



SURFIN' U.S.A.

Beach Boys
(Chuck Berry/Brian Wilson)


If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narabine
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U. S. A.

Haggerties and Swamies
Pacific Palisades
San Anofree and Sunset
Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla
At Waimia Bay

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S. A.



BRIGHT EYES (Acoustic version)


Fool just another
Fool just another
...
 
I´ve been waiting
For signs of god
Create- enslaved- behaved-
 
I´m out of control
I´m lost in a cold world
 
Watching you
 
Leave me alone
Isolation bears hope
There´s something else waiting
A promised destiny
Freezing me
I feel restless and low
These days full of sadness
Had joyfully changed
Into fear
 
My freakshow will start nonight
Don´t miss the right time
 
Chorus:
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side
 
And it crept inside
It possesed and enslaved my mind
 
The lord of darkness takes my soul
And when I left the light it seemed
So easy
Everything is out of control
 
Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
If you say yes I will say no
Ashes to ashes
And dust won´t be dust
If you go there
I will go back
 
Chorus:
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
Betrayed by sunrise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side
 
Hey, father stubborn
You´re ying
An I´m young
I feel alone
Who really cares
Born into ashes
To lose all the games
With a smiling face
 
Chorus:
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
And dark dragons rise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side
 
So I sit still in my room
Winter´s here
In summer season
Shall I say
I was wrong if I´m right
Farewell to my final hope



LORD OF THE RINGS (Edited version)


There are sings on the ring 
Which make me feel so down 
There's one to enslave all rings 
To find them all in time 
And drive them into darkness 
Forever they'll be bound 

Three for the kings 
Of the elves high in light 
Nine to the mortals 
Which cry 

I'll keep the ring full of sorrow 
I'll keep the ring till I die (2x) 

Chorus: 
Slow down and I sail on the river 
Slow down and I walk to the hill (2x) 

And there's no way out 
Mordor 
Dark land under Sauron's spell 
Threatened a long time 
Threatened a long time 

Seven rings to the dwarves 
In their halls made of stone 
Into the valley 
I feel down 
One ring to the dark lord's hand 
Sitting on his throne 
In a land so dark 
Where I have to go 

I'll keep the ring - I'll keep the ring   (2x) 

Chorus (4x) 

Lord of the rings 



THE WIZARD

Uriah Heep


He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine 

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Why don't we listen to... the voices in our hearts
Cause then I know we'll find... we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy...everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life... the peace that love can bring 

So spoke the Wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And now I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light



SPREAD YOUR WINGS

Queen


Sammy was low,
just watching the show,
over and over again.
He knew it was time,
he'd made up his mind,
to leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him
boy, you'd better begin
to get those crazy notions
right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should have been sweeping,
at the emerald bar.

spread your wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,
in his hotelroom.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
he'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
nothing in this world, nothing,
would make him stay.

Since he was small,
had no luck at all,
nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
he'd made up his mind,
this could be my last change

His boss said to him
now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
you got no real ambition,
you won't get worried for.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
why can't you be happy,
at the emerald bar?

(So honey) spread you wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
spread your little wings and fly away,
fly away, far away.
pull yourself together,
'cause you know you should do better,
that's because your a free man.
come on honey (fly with me)...



MORDRED'S SONG (Acoustic version)


I´ve lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn´t done
My spirit´s sunken deep
Into the ground
Why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
Silence´s all around
 
See hate will rise
And don´t come closer
Fear your child
Born with a king´s heart
But fate fooled me
And changed my cards
Noone asked if I want it
If I like it
 
Chorus:
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No Joker´s on my side
I plunged into misery
I´ll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn
 
Nothing else,
But laughter is around me
Forevermore
Noone can heal me
Nothing can save me
Noone can heal me
I´ve gone beyond the truth
It´s just another lie
Wash away the blood of my hands
My father´s blood
In agony we´re unified
 
I never wanted to be
What they told me to be
Fulfill my fate then I´ll be free
God knows how long
I tried to change fate
 
Chorus
I plunged into misery
I´ll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn



THE BLACK CHAMBER (Edit version)


I am lost in the black chamber
There´s no way to turn back
There's still light
In a different world
It takes me back forevermore
And death could be so sweet - so sweet
A dancing gnome in an empty room
A cruel and painful game
I´m possessed by the old creature
Who had planned
To take my soul
 
Too late for me
In my hands
It lies I thought
But I failed
Now he´s in me
 
My soul is lost
In his black chamber
 
I´m gone!



THE BARD'S SONG (live)


Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name 
Of the one
Who tells the story

Ref.:
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too

A PAST AND FUTURE SECRET


Oh, I haven't been here for a while
In blindness and decay
The circle's been closed, now
 
My song of the end
My song of the end
I've seen it all
 
Listen crowd
I'll tell you everything
Though I have to say
I don't know much
Talking about a past and future secret
Most called him once and future king
Far back in the past
I saw his ending
Long before it started
I knew his name
He's the one
Who took the sword out of the stone
It's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds
 
My song of the end
My song of the end
My song of the end
 
I had seen it in my dream
My song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds
 
I feel cold
When I cry out for the bark
Take him back to Avalon
Dwell on for a new age
So long sleep well my friend
Take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard
The future king's crown
 
My song of the end
My song of the end
My song of the end
My song of the end
 
It was nice but now it's gone
My song of the end
It was fixed the whole time
My song of the end
I saw it all



TO FRANCE

music & lyrics: Mike Oldfield

Taking on water,
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory,
A fantasy.
The wind carries
Into white water,
Far from the islands.
Don't you know you're

[Chorus] 
Never going to get to France.
Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance ever bind you?

Walking on foreign ground,
Like a shadow,
Roaming in far off
Territory.
Over your shoulder,
Stories unfold, you're
Searching for sanctuary.
You know you're

[Repeat Chorus] 

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?

[Repeat Chorus] 

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?

[Repeat Chorus] 

Never going to get to France.
Never going to....

Never going to get to France.
Never going to....

Never going to get to France.
Never going to....
