For Maddy
With regard to your posting with the lyrics for 'And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda'
I've found the actual lyrics, complete with a synopsis of Bogles reasoning behind writing it, that's if my brief scan of the text is correct.
I take it your Pogues version is on 'Rum, Sodomy & The Lash'
Have a look at;
www.westfront.de/eric_bogle_waltzing_matilda.htm
There are also the lyrics for Bogles far superior (in my opinion) 'The Green Fields Of France' at;
www.home.hccnet.nl/s.vangompel/greatwar/music/williemcbride.html
Hopefully both these links will work.
I got introduced to www.lyrics.net.ua by someone. There's stacks of stuff on there, just go by the full name - if a solo artist, put the christian name first.
Words to 'Matilda' on there.
There are also most of the lyrics that I pulled from my record collection, for some reason no Stray Cats though, but (the brilliant) Brian Setzer does feature.
As does Don Henley for 'Boys of Summer', I got the album wrong as I was going from memory with those lyrics, as I don't have it.
'B-o-S' was on 'Building The Perect Beast, not 'End of The Innocence'
