could somebody bring the as-yet-not-totally-interpreted-and-agreed-upon lyrics of The Last Living Rose and Let England Shake over from the old Garden and post them here? (I tried to do so but found, of course, that only the Admins have that ability.)
What ability are you referring to? Are you not able to access the page? Or would you like us to archive the thread like the ones on the Multimedia forum? You should be able to read the forum, if you're not there's something wrong with the permissions and we need to fix it.
Here they are as posted by DrDark.
Let England ShakeOriginally posted at http://thegarden.forum5.com/viewtopic.php?t=1703.Started by natural high over in atforumz with major modifications for what I hear. This one is really tough, probably WAY off here.
The West's asleep let England shake
Weighted down in silent death
I fear our blood will rise again
Will rise again
England's dancing days are done
Another day for you to come
Come and tell me a difference
Is one one one (won?)
Smile smile Bobby with your lovely mouth
Pack away the troubles lets head out
To the fountain the fountain of death
Splash about swim back back back
Until the day is ending
And the birds are silenced
And the insects are courting
And by the shores heavy stones are falling
Smile smile Bobby with your lovely mouth
Pack away the troubles lets head out
To the fountain the fountain of death
Splash about swim back forth back back
And laugh out loud
Take me back to Constantinople
No you can't go back to Constantinople..
Can't help but wonder if Polly is making a political statement here.

For all that's European (?)
Take me back to beautiful England
And the grey, damp filthiness of ages
And battered books and
Fog rolling down behind the mountains
On the graveyards and dead sea captains
Let me walk through the stinkin' alleys
To the music of drunken beings
Past the Thames river glistenin'
Like gold hastily sold for nothing
Nothing!
Let me watch night fall on the river
The moon rise up and turn to silver
The sky move the ocean shimmer
The hand shake the last living rose
Quiver
I hear "beings" not "beatings", "hand" not "heads". The 1st line is a mystery..
