"Take Me To The Mardi Gras" lyrics
"Take Me To The Mardi Gras"
C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street
Both night and day
Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans
And I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat
Of Jelly Roll

You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
I see you every morning
Outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant
Lonely days, lonely nights

Joan Armatrading - "Back To The Night" Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars
With a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But...
The Byrds - "The Bells Of Rhymney" Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner?...
