HANGING TREE (Blackmore’s Night)
There’ve been many tales
Tainted by truth twisted by time
Some choose to forget
Yet it still weaves webs in their minds
And it seems like she's been here forever
Her branches as black as the seas
She's been through it all
By the luck of the draw
She became the old hanging tree
She asked for nothing
Except maybe a little rain
They used her strength
To help them steal lives away
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow
To this day she still doesn't know why
But her heart broke
When they came with the rope
To declare her the old hanging tree
Life stranger than fiction
Can make you want to cry
Roots could never stop her
From reaching for the sky
Those years have all past
Lucky for us lucky for her
Now, children play at her feet
And in her arms she cradles birds
And it seems she's been here forever
These days are the best that she's seen
Still somewhere in the back
Of her mind is the time
She was known as the old hanging tree
YOU'RE IN THE ARMY NOW (Status Quo)
A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you’ve left for good
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you wanna survive - get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls, 'Stand up and fight!'
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now (2)
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger’s on the trigger, but it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now (2)
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now (4)
SOLDIER OF FORTUNE (Deep Purple)
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
Chorus: But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
That shows that you're not here
/ Chorus
CHILD IN TIME (Deep Purple)
Sweet child in time
You'll see the line
The line is drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Taking toll
If you've been bad
Oh, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit
Oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
THE UNFORGIVEN (J. Hetfield -Metallica)
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued.
Through constant pain, disgrace,
The young boy learns their rules.
With time the child draws
In this whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man struggles on and on.
He knows, ooh, a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away.
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never be. Never see.
Won't see what might have been.
What I've felt, what I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown.
Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven.
They dedicate their lives to running all of his
He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same, he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win.
A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then prepares to die regretfully
That old man here is me. / Chorus:
MAMA SAID (James Hetfleld -'Metallica')
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
'Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done'
The brightest flame goes quickest'
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart’s sowed to mother
But I must find my way
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go or
Let this heart be still
Yeah, still

Rebel, mind your last name
Wild blood in my veins
They bring strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
All what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go or
Let this heart be still
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
That I'll take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
That I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Spoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
Not a thing you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But, a cold stone's all I see / Chorus
