Flatlands mit Lyrics – Zomerfolk<\/h2>\n

Die Texte zu diesem Song stammen von unserem eigenen William f\u00fcr das Album Scotland’s Story. Wir haben es zum ersten Mal bei unserer Celtic Folk Night in Wilhemshaven aufgef\u00fchrt. Am Ende all unserer Theatershows spielen wir dieses Lied, um die Polonaise in Gang zu bringen. David & Maceal marschieren durch den Konzertsaal und das gesamte Publikum folgt.<\/p>\n

Hintergrundinfo – Flatlands<\/h2>\n

Scotland the Brave ist die Dudelsackmelodie, die David w\u00e4hrend Flatlands spielt. Es ist ein schottisches patriotisches Lied, eines von mehreren, das oft als inoffizielle schottische Nationalhymne angesehen wird. Die Melodie wurde zum ersten Mal wahrscheinlich im sp\u00e4ten 19. Jahrhundert gespielt. Die heute gebr\u00e4uchlichen Texte wurden um 1950 vom schottischen Journalisten Cliff Hanley f\u00fcr den S\u00e4nger Robert Wilson im Rahmen eines Arrangements von Marion McClurg geschrieben. „Scotland the Brave“ ist auch der autorisierte Pipe-Band-Marsch der British Columbia Dragoner der kanadischen Streitkr\u00e4fte<\/p>\n

Lyrics „Flatlands“<\/h2>\n

Good evening lads and lassies, are you happy all the way<\/p>\n

We’re coming from the Flatlands, so some people say<\/p>\n

We try our very best to make you allright tonight<\/p>\n

We’re playing lovely folk songs and some tunes half the night<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was born to be a singer, but I didn\u2019t knew by then<\/p>\n

I had my first guitar when I reached the age of ten<\/p>\n

My fingers were not bleeding, but I really tried out hard<\/p>\n

So come on move your dancing feet, when the music starts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So there’s no other place, where I would rather be<\/p>\n

To sing about this fucking life in peace and harmony<\/p>\n

So won’t you come along and drink a pint or two with me<\/p>\n

To sing about this fucking life in peace and harmony<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was lots of times in trouble, in my days at school<\/p>\n

Just learning ’n turning by the way and living by the ruule<\/p>\n

We were waiting ‚till the bell would ring and we’d go home, on straight<\/p>\n

And picking up our instruments, „it’s getting really late“<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I like to dance with women and I sang it all before<\/p>\n

I drink a lot of whiskey and I drop dead on the floor<\/p>\n

And when the cab is driving home and I remember when<\/p>\n

The places where I’m going and the places that I’ve been<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The night is coming to an end, but there’ll be plenty more to come<\/p>\n

The crowd is going wild and they’ve been asking for „encore“<\/p>\n

We don’t know where we’re going and whenever we’re coming back<\/p>\n

I’ll see you all the next time, on the latest track<\/p>\n
