Gabriel's Message 

The Angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flames
"Oh hail" has said he to Holy Maiden Mary
      (to holy mary)
Most highly favoured maid  Gloria
       (Most highly favoured maid  Gloria)

Forknown a blessed mother thou shalt be
For generations loan and honnaly
Thy son shall be Imanuel th'as years forsawt =(forseen)
Most highly favoured maid  Gloria
      (Most highly favoured maid  Gloria)

The gentle Mary neatly bowed the head
"To me, be as it pleaseth God" she said
"My soul shall whole and magnify this holy maid"
Most highly favoured maid  Gloria
      (Most highly favoured maid  Gloria)

Of her Imanuel, the Christ was crossed
His Bethlehem all honor Christmas ghost
As everyone through out the world will Heaven save
Most highly favoured maid  Gloria
      (Most highly favoured maid  Gloria)

Get Up Stand Up 

Get up, stand up  
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up  
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up  
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up  
Don't give up the fight

Preacherman don't tell me, heaven is under the earth
I know, you don't know, what life is really worth
If all that glitters was gold
Heard the story which never been told
Now you see the light    
So get up for your rights

Get up stand up  
Sit up for your right
Get up stand up  
Don't give up the fight
Get up stand up  
Stand up for your right
Get up stand up  
Don't give up the fight

Well people say: a great God will come from the sky
Take away everything  
And make everybody feel high
If you know what life is worth   
You will look to yours on earth
And now you see the light   
Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up   
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right  
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up   
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight  
People don't people done
Get up, stand up    
Stand up for your right (sit Up)
Get up, stand up   
Don't give up the fight

I'm sick and tired of
The same of shame of thing
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name
Cause we know and we understand
That a mighty God is a livin man
Be so clear for sometime     
But you cannot fool all the people all the time
Now you see the light    
So get up for your rights

Get up stand up  
Get up stand up
Stand up for your rights   
Stand up for your rights
Get up stand up   
Get up stand up
Don't give up the fight   
Don't give up the fight
Weeeooo  
We won't give up the fight   
Don't give up the fight
Weeeooo  
We won't give up the fight   
Don't give up the fight

Ghost Story

I watch the Western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying South
It sets me thinking

I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come
His icy sinews,
Now in the firelight
The case continues

Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial

The shadows close me round
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire's embers

Why was I missing then
That whole December?
I give my usual line,
I don't remember

Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep
And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why should it follow 
I must have loved you?

What is the force that binds the stars?
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide?
Never could find a place to hide

What moves the Earth around the sun?
What could I do but run and run and run?
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail

The moon's a fingernail 
And slowly sinking
Another day begins
 And now I'm thinking

That this indifference 
Was my invention
When everything I did 
Sought your attention

You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
Of buried treasure

If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confess
I must have loved you
I must have loved you
