I'll name those lyrics in...?

Bored? Busy? Tempted to use google? See if you can name some of these...

As provided by my MP3 players random shuffle. No apologies at all.

1. The whole single malt family
2. With twelve months suspended from sentence and fifty-two lovely black eyes
3. He made harp pins of her fingers fair
4. Hey you, are you trying to be me?
5. But they see me so large that they think I’m immune to the pain
6. 'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
7. Your frozen heart is going to melt for me, I'm gonna turn this love into what it's supposed to be
8. And when the rain comes down, would you choose to walk or stay?
9. My disease, my infection.
10. Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

hehe. Folk is full of the tragic - Oysterband do a great version of 'Molly Bond'- a song about a guy who shoots his fiancée because her skirts make her look like a swan.

When I saw them they played 'love will tear us apart' and 'road to nowhere' How did they know I was coming?!?

they have mystical powers maybe? Where'd you see them?

In Nottingham last year. Very good they were too.

Oysterband are truly fab - though I haven't listened to them in a long time and had forgotten all about Molly Bond.

There are some wonderful folk songs that are fore-runners of the whole hand-stapled-to-forehead side of the goth scene. Fairport Convention do a lovely version of 'She's like the Swallow' that just needs a slightly more prominent back-beat to make it proper goff.

I'm sure you could pass a miked up Bodhran through some effects to get the authentic drum machine beat ;)
