Peter, Paul & Mary - Washington Peace March - 1971

PS My guess is that you were referring to Mary's famous syncopated toss of those golden locks of hers - in which case I agree, she was very dramatic - certainly had the full attention of the blokes in the audience at least. Gee I remember so many drinking sessions around a campfire - case of beer and this new thing called a cassette player - and everyone "singing along" (loose use of the word) to PPM - Hell they were good ;)
 
Light One Candle

LIGHT ONE CANDLE
Peter Yarrow- ©1983 Silver Dawn Music ASCAP

Light one candle for the Maccabee children
With thanks that their light didn't die
Light one candle for the pain they endured
When their right to exist was denied
Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
Justice and freedom demand
But light one candle for the wisdom to know
When the peacemaker's time is at hand

chorus:
Don't let the light go out!
It's lasted for so many years!
Don't let the light go out!
Let it shine through our love and our tears.

Light one candle for the strength that we need
To never become our own foe
And light one candle for those who are suffering
Pain we learned so long ago
Light one candle for all we believe in
That anger not tear us apart
And light one candle to find us together
With peace as the song in our hearts ....(chorus)

What is the memory that's valued so highly
That we keep it alive in that flame?
What's the commitment to those who have died
That we cry out they've not died in vain?
We have come this far always believing
That justice would somehow prevail
This is the burden, this is the promise
This is why we will not fail! .....(chorus)

Don't let the light go out!
Don't let the light go out!
Don't let the light go out!

Concerning the previous post / song, and the opening line...
"Light one candle for the Maccabee children" - where Maccabee = children of Israel.....
Whilst I'm confident that PP&M were not trying to digress from the peace theme in 100% of the rest of their repertoire, It would have been nice if the words of the song were a bit more .. mmm, cosmopolitan...
Hence I have added the following verse for PP&M to consider next time they sing it

PS a couple of points - 1. they are probably referring to the Holocaust of course."right to exist was denied".
2. As Golda Mair said "there won't be peace until we learn to love our children more than we hate our enemies"

Light nine candles for the Middle East children , born into one giant jail, !
comPeting disasters, their Crucifix rafters, their Mosque floors, and Walls where they wail !!,
FORGET the hereafter!, Let's wish em some LAUGHTER!, and lessen the load on their nails, !!!
Let's walk with these candles, a mile in their sandals! ANd THEN PRAPS ..
the VANDALS will...

syncopated head toss of those magic, point-underlining blonde Traver's locks

I notice Peter Garrett had occasion to refer to this song today in Parliament
in relation to the Coalition wanting to rewrite a few points of history (Turnbull's complaining about the economic management - yet spending $10mill on cloud seeding against bureaucratic advice)
- cept PG added the pun .. "There's a fracton too much fiction" ;)

John Farnham-Age Of Reason

AGE OF REASON

From the day that we were born we've been heading down a track
Sometimes it's made for good sometimes for bad
But if we look behind us there's a wave coming down
Carrying us forward to a new age

What about the world around us
How can we fail to see
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason

So why can't we be still why can't we love each other
Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness
And if we look behind us there's a wind blowing in
To create the age of reason

If we consider carefully the options put before us
So much wisdom so much love so much waiting for us
And if we look ahead there's the sun and the seasons
Another day another age of reason

Austen Tayshus - Australiana

AUSTEN TAYSHUS AUSTRALIANA LYRICS
Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomerrang Said he was havin' a few people around for a barbie, Said he might Kookaburra or two.

I said, "Sounds great, will Wallaby there?"
He said "Yeah and Vegemite come too".
So I said to the wife "Do you wanna Goanna?". She said "I'll go if Dingos".
So I said "Wattle we do about Nulla?"
He said "Nullabors me to tears, leave him at home."
We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge. And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sittin there tryin to Platypus!
Now, I don't like to speak Illawarra, but I was shocked, I mean how much can a Koala bear.

So I grabbed a beer, flashed me Wangarratta and went out and joined the party.
Pretty soon Ayers Rocks in and things really started jumpin'. This Indian girl, Marsu, turns up, dying to go to the toilet but she couldn't find it. I said to me mate Al, "Hey, where can Marsupial?" He said "She can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a cockatoo".

Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody. Fairdinkum, you've never seen a Coolabah maid. I grabbed a beer and said, "Thanks Warra - tah".

A couple of Queensland at the party, one smellin' pretty strongly of aftershave. One of 'em sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, "Ya know mate, Eureka Stockade!"

It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim. He said to Ina, "Do you want a have a dip in the Riverina?" She said "I haven't got my Kosiosko".
Well Bo says, "Come in starkers, Wattle they care!" Ina says "What, without so much as a Thredbo?" Ah, Perisher thought! Has Eucumbine in yet?

Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket. Boomer says "Why doesn't Wombat?" "Yeah, and let Tenterfield".
He said I should have a bowl but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards. I said to Lyptus "Wanna game of Eucalyptus?" He said "There's no point mate, Darwins everytime."

Well Bill said he'd like a smoke. Nobody knew where the dope was stashed. I said "I think Merinos." But I was just spinning a bit of a yarn. Barry pulls a joint out of his pocket. Bill says "Great, Barrier Reefer, what is it mate?" "Noosa Heads of course. Me mate Adelaide 'em on me." And it was a great joint too, Blue Mountains away and his Three Sisters

Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said "Chuck us the Tally Hobart". He said "They're out on the Laun, Ceston, can you get em for us?" Burnie says "Its okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya"
Just then Alice Springs into action, starts to pack Billabong. And you wouldn't believe it, the bongs broken. I said "Lord Howe!"

"Hay-man" somebody says "Will a Didgeridoo?" I said "Hummmmm mummmm mummmmm mummmmm maybe it'll have ta."
I look in the corner and there's Bass sittin there, not getting into it, not getting out of it, I said "What, is Bass Strait or somthin?" Boomer says "As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop" I said "Ya jokin mate, a cop, I'm getting outta here, lets Goanna." She said "No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I dont wanna leave Jacardanda party on his own. Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on Toowoomba, he's already tried to Mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you Australiana!"

Ruthie Henshall - I Dreamed A Dream (Les Miserables)
there was no ransome to be paid
no song unsung, no wine untasted

but the tigers come at night
with their voices soft as thunder
as they tear your hopes apart
as they turn your dream to shame
etc

o boy can this girl sing - sheesh :)
 
Two versions of this one - Liz Taylor puts it in context :2twocents
Ruthie Henshall - Send In The Clowns

Elizabeth Taylor - "Send In The Clowns"
 
Les Miserables - Do You Hear The People Sing - International

This song is sung by many males who have played the part
but heck it's obvious that some of them either have
a) a liking for alcohol, or
b) lousy pronunciation

because you can't understand a flaming word they're saying - sounds like a scene from a wild west movie with the hombres having gollie-fights into the spittoon !.
disgraceful - such an important occasion - and to turn up drunk like that !
 
Hell, here's Captain Pellew doing the Lambert Walk .
How talented is Robert Lindsay ;)

Me and My Girl The Lambeth Walk Tony 1987

Hornblower
 
sounds like Robert Goulet (?) (Howard Keel maybe?)
Torvill & Dean- I Won't Send Roses
I Won't Send Roses - Michael Feinstein - Mack & Mabel
 
dixieland . .. reminds me city2surf coming up in a few months ;)

this one already posted elsewhere - Cohen when only half high ..

cohen dance me till the end of love

Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love x 3
