The Gypsy Bard

from Phoenix Winter: MLP Songs · host Phoenix Winter

Lyrics:When you're rife with devastationThere's a simple explanation:You're a toymaker's creationTrapped inside a crystal ballAnd whichever way he tilts itKnow that we must be resilientWe won't let them break our spiritsAs we sing our silly songWhen I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my citySo they shipped me off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in"So I dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foalsNow Memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but I still, know the words to this songWhen you've bungled all your banglesAnd your loved ones have been mangledListen to the jingle jangleOf my gypsy tambourine'Cause these chords are hypnotizingAnd the whole world's harmonizingSo please children stop your cryingAnd just sing along with meWhen I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my citySo they shipped me off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in"So I dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foalsNow Memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but I still, know the words to this songWhen you've bungled all your banglesAnd your loved ones have been mangledListen to the jingle jangleOf my gypsy tambourine'Cause these chords are hypnotizingAnd the whole world's harmonizingSo please children stop your cryingAnd just sing along with meWhen you've bungled all your banglesAnd your loved ones have been mangledListen to the jingle jangleOf my gypsy tambourine'Cause these chords are hypnotizingAnd the whole world's harmonizingSo please children stop your cryingAnd just sing along with me

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Random Song Encounters Gene Vincent The idea is presenting a weekly random playlist of songs with commentary, and no specific ties to decade, genre, popularity, or anything else. Mostly from the world of rock and pop, but occasionally venturing into other musical genres when the urge strikes. Something to keep me occupied and out of trouble… Heroes and tales of Old Britain Lunapilot Beloved Britain celebrated in song. Some are humorous in intent, some merely in retrospect, some are just here because Wavlake doesn't have a "Random influences" category for albums and everyone's humour is different anyway! The subheading "Novelty" is probably a better fit as most of these songs you will only want to hear once! ;) Oh, all songs in this album were made using Udio.
