Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah - think it must be the fir first time ive ever heard the original version :oops:

You still haven't, Jeff Buckley's version isn't the original, it was written and originally performed by Leonard Cohen

You can roll that stone to the top of the hill

Drag your ball and chain behind you

You can carry that weight with an iron will

Or let the pain remain behind you

Chip away the stone

Chip away the stone

Make the burden lighter

If you must roll that rock alone

You can drive those wheels to the end of the road

You will still find the past right behind you

Try to deny the weight of the load

Try to put the sins of the past night behind you

Carve away the stone

Carve away the stone

Make a graven image

With some features of your own

You can roll that stone to the top of the hill

You can carry that weight with an iron will

You can drive those wheels to the end of the road

You can try to deny the weight of the load

Roll away the stone

Roll away the stone

If you could just move yours

I could get working on my own

into:

actually, heard this this morning, and figured that it would be appreciated by many on here...

The song satirizes the 1950s-1960s proposals to have nuclear submarines manned by all the NATO members' navies responsible for European nuclear defense.

Sleep baby sleep

In peace may you slumber

No danger lurks

Your sleep to encumber

We've got the missiles

Peace to determine

And one of the fingers

On the button will be German

Why shouldn't they have

Nuclear warheads

England says no, but

They all are soreheads

I say a bygone

Should be a bygone

Let's make peace the way we did

In Stanleyville and Saigon

Once all the Germans

Were warlike and mean

But that couldn't happen again

We taught them a lesson

In nineteen eighteen

And they've hardly bothered us since then

So sleep well my darling

The sandman can linger

We know our buddies

Won't give us the finger

Heil -- hail the Wehrmacht,

I mean the Bundeswehr

Hail to our loyal ally

MLF will scare Brezhnev

I hope he is half as scared as I
