I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen (changes by me)
For Gollum and the ring
Hey little ring you know you brought me here
Did Baggins try to throw you away, I hear
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire
Tell me now gold ring is he good to you
Can he hold onto you like I used to do
I can take you higher
I’m on fire
Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul
Together we fall into the lava hot and wet
And I feel joy running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire
River of Dreams
by Billy Joey (changes by me)
In the middle of the night
I've been floating in my sleep
From the great Argonath
To a river so deep
I was looking for something
Something scared I lost
I found it when I died
And now the sea I will cross
And even though I know the river is long
I float to where my brother stands on the shore
He tries to wade to my side
But the boats floats away to an ethereal shore
In the middle of the night
I go floating in my sleep
I leave the valley of fear
For a river so deep
And I was searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Except for the ring I almost stole
I don't know why I go floating at night
But I was tired and now I don't feel pain anymore
And even though it cost me my life
I'm glad I found what it is I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go floating in my sleep
Past the foul orcs of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I was searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of a blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Cleansed by sacrifice, I float down the river
That runs to the promized land
In the middle of the night
I go floating in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To a river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
Tore Down A La Frodo
(aka Tore Down A La Rimbaud-Van Morrison)
I've got his pictures in my gallery
I've got his novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself.
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead.
Tore down a la Frodo
And I wish my travels were done
Tore down a la Frodo, you know it's hard some time
you know it's hard some time.
Showed me ways and means and motions
Showed me what it's like to be
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see.
Tore down a la Frodo
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la Frodo, you know it's hard some time.
You know it's hard some time.
Showed me different shapes and colours
Showed me many different roads
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul.
Tore down a la Frodo
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Frodo, you know it's hard some time.
you know it's hard some time.
Stuck down in Mordor with you
Adapted from:
Bob Dylan - Stuck In The Middle With You Lyrics
Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared of those Nazgul on our tail,
and I'm wondering if I'll just lay down and wail.
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Here I am stuck down in Mordor with you.
Yes I'm stuck down in Mordor with you,
and I'm wondering what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face.
Losing control yeah I'm all over the place.
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Here I am stuck down in Mordor with you.
Well we started off with that one gold ring
and I'm just proud that we've made it this far
yeah
and your friends they all came to help with the thing,
slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please . . .
Trying to make some sense of it all
but I can see that it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the moor?
I don't think that I can take anymore.
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Here I am stuck down in Mordorwith you.
Stuck down in Mordor
Stuck down in Mordor
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right! (Stuck down in Mordor)
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right! (Stuck in the middle)
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right! (uh-uh)
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Here I am stuck down in Mordor with you
Well we started off with that one gold ring
and I'm just proud that we've made it this far
yeah
and your friends they all came to help with the thing,
slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please . . .
Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I've got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared of those Nazgul on our tail,
and I'm wondering if I'll just lay down and wail.
Orcs to the left of me!
Spiders to the right!
Here I am stuck down in Mordor with you.
Stuck down in Mordor with you (ah-yeah)
Stuck down in Mordor with you
Here I am!
Stuck down in Mordor with you
With you, with you, with you ....
For Farmir and Eowyn, on the occasion of their clip in the extended ROTK trailer...
Sunlight on the Tower
(aka "Flowers in the Window" by Travis)
When you first held me I was cold
A melting snowmaid I was told
I thought there was no-one there to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone forever more
Wow, look at me now
Sunlight on the tower
Those words of hope you say
Its just the first of the spring rain
And we're so far above the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the darkness go
You say I have no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It’s just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
You say you're here to help me with the load
Wow, look at you now
Sunlight on the tower
Those words of hope you say
It's just the first of the spring rain
And we're so far above the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the darkness go
So now we’re here and now is fine
So far away from there
And there is time, time, time
To have a kiss while darkness goes
So there’ll be sunlight on the tower when we go
Wow, look at me now
Sunlight on the tower
Those words of hope you say
Its just the first of the spring rain
And we're so far above the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the darkness go
Wow, look at me now
Sunlight on the tower
Those words of hope you say
Its just the first of the spring rain
And we're so far above the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the darkness go
Let’s watch the darkness go

Another Travis for Faramir deciding to approach her, before she melts and the kiss.
The Cage
(by Travis, changes by me)
The Witchking's dead
The Sun will shine
We were bleeding but now we're fine
You are so cold, Babe, but so strong inside
I love you more than I
And if this bird did fly away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
I'll keep my word
And I think I'll die
If you love some other guy
Come be alive, girl, I think it’s time
High time we drew the line
And if this bird did fly away
While I looked the other way
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
Oh you broke my soul
Dear you stole the plot
You left an empty shot
There’s nothing left here ’cos you took the lot
My love for you is all I’ve got
’cos when your bird has flown away
She was never meant to stay
Oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring
To keep her caged would just delay the spring
Track written by fran healy
Oh Little Town of Hobbiton (apologies to all concerned)
Oh little town of Hobbiton, how green I see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet deep in Mordor shineth two of your brightest lights
The hopes and fears of all the years do rest with them tonight.
For Frodo has the One Ring, and risks all for your love
While Hobbits sleep the Vala keep their watch and see all from above
Oh Varda's stars and Samwise, solace his rocky berth.
Elf and king do his praises sing, he brought peace to Middle Earth
How silently, how painfully, this wondrous gift is given
So Elves impart to Hobbit hearts the blessings of their haven
No orc may hear his coming, the ring he will pitch in
Their pure souls will sustain them still, the dear Hobbit and his friend.
Oh dear child of Hobbiton, come dwell with us we pray
Cast out your pain, be free again, In Aman with us today
We hear the white gulls crying, of journeys they do tell
O come to us, abide with us, and once again be well.
"A Glorious Day"
(to the tune by Embrace )
No evil piece of gold could lure me away
I fought the last of my breath
But we left our home on a glorious day
By the end of the road I was crawling in pain
Yeah we left our home on a glorious day
Now I need you to save me again
Ooh oooh ohhh [etc]
The fire that they said would burn just lights up the way
I lie in the place where I fell
And two from nine carry the one
That won't go away
Till I throw it in to that hell
But we left our home on a glorious day
By the end of the road I was crawling in pain
Yeah we left our home on a glorious day
Now I need you to save me again
Let them all keep their plans
Cos all I want is in my hands
And I cant look down
Back then I had it all, now I want it back that's all
And I cant get out
Ooh oooh ohhh [etc]
We left our home on a glorious day
By the end of the road
I was crawling again
Yeah we left our home on a glorious day
Now I need you to save me again
Now I need you to save me again
Now I need you to save me again
This is Sam, post-quest, to Frodo.
"Everybody's Changing"
(to the tune by Keane)
You want to stay in your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Thinking of when we will meet again
I try to raise this son that bears your name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Thinking of when we will meet again
I try to raise this son that bears your name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Thinking of when we will meet again
I try to raise this son that bears your name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
Star Of The Shire Down
aka Star Of The County Down, Irish Traditional
Near Hobbiton-town in the Shire Down one morning last July
Down a field of green came a sweet lass-een and she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet to the sheen of her golden hair
Pretty as an Elf, sure I shook myself, for to see I was really there
From Michael Delving up to Buckland-ing and from Farthings up and down
No maid I've seen like the gold lass-een that I met in Hobbiton-town
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head and I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passer-by: Who's the maid with the golden hair?
He smiled at me and he says, says he: That's the gem of Shire’s crown
Young Rosie Cotton from the Green Dragon she's the star of the Shire Down
From Michael Delving up to Buckland-ing and from Farthings up and down
No maid I've seen like the gold lass-een that I met in Hobbiton-town
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there, so I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right, for a smile from my golden rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke, til my plough is a rust-coloured brown
Til a smiling bride by my own fireside, sits the star of the Shire Down
From Michael Delving up to Buckland-ing and from Farthings up and down
No maid I've seen like the gold lass-een that I met in the Shire Down
From Michael Delving up to Buckland-ing and from Farthings up and down
No maid I've seen like the gold lass-een that I met in the Shire Down
Ring Song
aka Devil Song by Beth Orton
When the Nazgul comes breaking down your door
You’ll know there’s trouble, and he’s coming back for more
You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor
Or you better destroy it so they won’t come here no more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you’d expect?
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
You’ve been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The one ring was your precious, but it’s not no more
The one ring was your precious, when you weren’t sure
Do I tempt Nazgul to break through all these doors
Just to put a face to the voice which always home?
To fight for what is precious, to know what’s under the floor
If I could keep it for good, I swear I’d never want for more
But when I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully awaring every step I take
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
Well, I’ve been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The one ring was my precious, now I’m just not sure.
I’ll travel down to Mordor and we’ll be no more
Gonna throw it back down
I won’t feel no shame
Till my dreams
Are my own again
Gonna throw it right down, and I’ll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again
Here I am again
The one ring was my precious, now I’m just not sure
I’ll travel down to Mordor and we’ll be no more
Maybe you’re an angel, tried to remember you’re an angel
Remember you’re an angel, if you’re not sure.
This would be Aragorn, when he thinks Arwen is leaving for the west.
Coast of Aman-Far
from "Coast of Malabar," Irish Traditional
Far away across the ocean, underneath a western star
Dwells an dark-haired, lovely maiden on the coast of Aman-far
In the harbour, where we anchored, I can see her standing tall and fair
With a bunch of wine-red roses and the wild waves at her feet
Chorus:
Fare thee well, my immortal queen fare thee well, my Evenstar
In my heart you'll live forever on the coast of Aman-far
Many a happy night I spent with her in the halls of Rivendell
Many a happy night I danced with her in golden woods as well
She would raise her misty little face and gaze across the bay
She would whisper "If you love me, why should I sail away?"
Come to me, I hear her calling across the ocean wild and far
Come to me again and love me on the coast of Aman-far
And my thoughts keep ever turning to that far-off distant shore
And to that dark hair girl who loved me, but I'll see her never more.
Queen of the Galadrim
aka
Queen of the Slipstream by Van Morrison
You're the Queen of the Galadrim
With eyes that shine
You have crossed many waters to be here
You have drank of the fountain of innocence
And experienced the long cold wintry years.
There's a land where all that's gone is visible
Where the firstborn lie in repose
Will you leave and love me in secrecy, and
Will you still be my special rose?
Bridge
You're away far across the sea
But I will come for you
Tell you everything you know
Baby everything is true
Will the blush still remain
On your cheeks my love
In the light always seen
In your hair?
Many have begged
At your feet my dear
But I know you chose me.
Instead
Goin' away... etc.
You're the Queen of the Galadrim
I love you so
You have crossed many waters to be here
And you drink at the fountains of innocence
And experienced, you know very well
