Song of the Week - The Stranglers - Don't Bring Harry

Harry and me we live in a dream
With a friend like him I don't need enemies

I don't know where morning is
It might not come today
That's the trouble when harry's around
He forces me to play

I should have refused to meet this midnight cheat
He likes to prey on my mind with his own special treat

I don't know when morning comes,
It might not come today.
Harry likes to play all night
I'll do what harry says

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was life there, now there's compromise

Harry is a beast of luxury
He just wants my body and soul - leaves the bones behind

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was action - Now there is no life

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

Song of the Week - Dropkick Murphys - Rose Tattoo

The pictures tell the story
This life has many shades
I’d wake up every morning and before I’d start each day
I’d take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in it’s tray
Down a little something and then be on my way

I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn’t be alone

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain’t winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This ones for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This ones for my family name
With pride I wear it to the grave

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This one means the most to me
Stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along

You’ll always be there with me
Even if you’re gone
You’ll always have my love
Our memory will live on

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here

In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
With pride I’ll wear it to the grave for you
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you

Song of the Week - Louise Distras - Stand Strong Together

LOUISE DISTRAS - STAND STRONG TOGETHER

The music that brings us together
is the same thing that tears us apart
Stand strong together with unity in your heart

Voice in the street sells broken lies
Shoulder to shoulder stand in line
... Scar of your heart you cannot fight
The day has fallen into night

They put us down in every way
It only makes us stronger every single day
Broken window scar tattoo
Waging war on the chosen few

You are punk, you are skin
If you fight the government wins
It's your life, don't give in, unite and win
Born original loyal and true
Waging war on the chosen few

The music that brings us together
is the same thing that tears us apart
Stand strong together with unity in your heart
Breaking rules in everyway, the working class is here to stay
with unity in our hearts!
