Sure is Darth.
Yours is Don Maclean - "Starry, Starry Night". Another old fav of mine.
"Gather up the pots and the old tin cans
The mash, the corn, the barley and the bran.
Run like the devil from the excise man
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney.
Keep your eyes well peeled today
The excise men are on their way
Searching for the mountain tay"

Hills of Connemara...
Try this...
The roses all have left your cheek.
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes.

Londonderry Air aka Danny Boy. Reduces me to tear every time!
"I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell.
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelights.
White horses rode high as the devil passed by
Taking souls to Hades by twilight.
Five weeks out to sea we were now forty-three
Our comrades we buried each morning.
In our own slime we were lost in a time.
Endless night without dawning"
Miss Camilla is in disgrace and is sulking in her tunnel. She started a barney with one of the old boys this morning.

Back Home in Derry (A lovely song!)....
I remember the day that the Bear O'Shea
Fell into a concrete stairs
What Horseface said, when he saw him dead,
Well it wasn't what the rich call prayers
Galvo, women (even feline) don't sulk... We just express our displeasure by giving the silent treatment!....

McAlpine's Fusiliers! I love the Dubliners version.
"Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe's stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head
Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again."

The Skye Boat Song... Love the Roger Whittiker version...
How about.....
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...

'Goldfinger' - Shirley Bassey.
"He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beer
His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down"

Last Cowboy....
Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

"Borderline".
"We lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
From the Alabama Trust
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
We get a handful of dust
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we’ve all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why"

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

" I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues".
"Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job"

Oh Wow, Galvo... I've heard this a couple of times...
The Marine's Hymn...
How's this.....
And come a little closer
Put your head upon my shoulder
And let me hold you one last time
Before the whistle blows

Eric Bogle's "Leaving Nancy".
"Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage

Australia's Fair... Isn't that the National Anthem???...
Try this....
For love and porter makes a young man older
And love and whiskey makes him old and grey
And what can't be cured love must be endured love
And now I am bound for Americay

Close, and because I'm such a good bloke, I'll give it to you. It's actually "Advance Australia Fair" and it is indeed our national anthem.
Try:
"When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you rise"

"Oh Holy Night". If we're going Christmasy, have a go at:
"From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name."

'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'... One of my favourites...
Have another...
Mary Bradley waits at home
in the nuclear fall-out zone
Wish I could be dancing now
in the arms of the girl I love

"Stop The Cavalry" and in the same vein;
"We are the pride of the army,
And a regiment of great renown,
Our name’s on the pages of history,
From sixty six on down.
If you think we stop or falter,
While into the fray we’re goin’
Just watch the step with our heads erect

Yep.
Ding Dong Merrily On High.
And still on Christmas.
It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)

Won't you lay your head upon your savior's chest,
I love you all, but Jesus loves you the best
