Even if my father says it's not wise He'll let me reach Zennor church in disguise Out of the waves I will feel paralysed Listening to this sweet voice will be my prize. Here I'm sitting, and marvelling at this boy : his voice and his face make me feel like he's the only one in this place It's ebb tide... So soon... Well, I should be leaving How could I ever live without your singing? My thirst for love is quenched by your sweet singing. Each night I'll come to you, swimming, then crawling no sea : my scales are drenched by your sweet singing But when the sea ebbs I must leave you, crying because I can't let humans see or seize me Here I sit, it's been a year since your song first flew to my ear What's become of me? All I want's a glance from him I know it's time to leave, why am I staying? How could I ever live without your singing? My thirst for love is quenched by your sweet singing. Each night I'll come to you, swimming, then crawling no sea : my scales are drenched by your sweet singing "First I heard just a sigh turned round, and what a sight so fair a face, so strange a gleam..." I caught his eye Now I exist What have I done? I Must exit Tide's long gone she crawls Matthew follows her, his folks are on his feet "Matthew don't follow her, you'll lose your soul! Stay, don't leave your people Stay with your kind, leave her behind!"

Here he comes Here he comes out of the dark One furlong high, teeth like a shark's Says I sing just like a lark Wouldn't eat me but try to light a spark of love... he proposes Why would I accept? Here she stands, perfect picture of beauty, She sang and utterly beguiled me This pure, delicate thing must marry me Please, order, I'll do what you will He could have killed me But here, he's on his knees, Begging and pleading, He must love me But he'll never have me If you love me, do as I ask I'll marry you if you do this task One after another 'till the last We don't need to go that fast If you love me Well, come on, prove it I won races, defeated so many knights, Proved I was stronger than all the others. Now she wants me to shed my own blood such a fool I'll do as she will If you love me, then show me : Slice your wrist, let your blood drip, and fill up this hole What's a few gallons of your blood, Compared to all the blood that you've shed? What is it when so many are dead? See your blood flowing down, Into the waves not to the ground, It's a bottomless hole, I've avenged my people! For all you've done to my kind, I'll take your life away. Now that evil dies, We'll have brighter days. Let your blood Flood the whole world Let it swirl (into the waves) Let it drip 'Til the last drop

The sun's coming down on Boleigh It's time to attend Sunday vespers Soon, we'll be chanting and praying Our lord and feel closer to him. All ready for the walk Never wished to spend my time there All ready for the talk Never wished to stay sitting there On our way to mass, Time will pass so slowly All of us heading to the church But all I wish is a lurch But when I hear This melody flowing to my ear But when I hear the pipes blowing This rhythm comes up to my knees, Some say I'm insane, Others obscene One thing's sure : I am not the same. Whether you're old, whether you're young, come and enjoy, dance along, Will you go wild, dare turning rash, join our circle, come along, Let your feet, follow the beat, dance and welcome the heat Now, we're not the same. We were ready for a good laugh All we got is godly wrath Thunderstruck by heaven for behaving like heathens A flashing light which caused so much fright A cold bite making my limbs so hard and stiff I may be made of stone, But look closely I'm blooming inside Maybe I can't move my bones but look intently I'm dancing inside

Wandering man walking alone along the moor Look at these eyes and this sword : Gilded letters on his belt. He is the one who slew the giant A hero on his way to rid the island of its monsters The Giant Blunderbore has kidnapped three lords, killed 'em and holds their wives as his whores Brave Jack stops to drink and sleep Blunderbore the giant sees The one who killed friend and takes him to his lair Blunderbore invited another giant to eat Jack managed to hang 'em, slit their throats wide open By saving them, once again, he proved his worth Out of their cells the ladies will spread the word Jack's already gone away The wild rover has resumed his journey Aiming to Wales Ready to kill his bravery never fails Monsters, giants, wolves beware You'd rather stay in your lair Come and face him if you dare But you will not survive his glare Hidden, somewhat tamed by his spreading fame creatures all around fear Jack's might
