The Medusa Fora

Shane's singing IS a little bit difficult to understand, that's true. But where there's a will, there's a way...
Roddyruddy from PRS forum suceeded in battling with Tomorrow Belongs To Me:


Tomorrow Belongs To Me

My mind wanders back
To that old winding river
Carrying the baggage to the sea
That big black stinky manky old river
The scent stills smells beautiful to me
The Times and the Tongs
The lassies that are gone
That live long in my fond memory

As long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me
As the dawn rises up on the city that I love
Nobody can take that from me
Cause as long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me
As long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me

Where ever I may roam
Where ever I should go
My heart always knew where I should be
When the dawn rises up on the city I love
Nobody can take that from me
The Times and the Tongs
The lassies that are gone
That live long in my fond memory

As long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me
I know
As long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me
As long as I belong to Glasgow
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me

Thanks to the combined efforts of Øyvind Lade, PS and Brendan Keneally (at PRS forum again), the following lyrics of Road To Paradise have seen the light of day (though some unclarities still remain - marked by italics):


Road To Paradise

We all go together on the road from hell
We all go together to the chiming of the bells
We will be delivered
Mother of all the skies
We will be delivered on the road to paradise
We all go together
We all go together
We all go together down the road to paradise

Right Now

We all go together on the road from hell
Led by the ghost down on the docks
(or) Led by the ghost out of the darkness
(or) Led by the ghosts and all the dorks
on the road to paradise
Oh it will speak for us for all our yesterdays
(or) Intercede for us for all our yesterdays
(or) Oh let them spring forth for all our yesterdays
Holy suffering mother of Jesus
save me from the Judgement day
We all go together
We all go together
We all go together down the road to paradise

We all go together
We all go together
We all go together down the road to paradise

We all go together
We all go together
Lead by the ghost down on the docks
(or) Led by the ghost out of the darkness
(or) Led by the ghosts and all the dorks
on the road to paradise

We will be delivered
We will be delivered
And will they (or) we be delivered
down the road to paradise

We all go together
We all go together
We all go together down the road to paradise

We will be delivered
We will be delivered
And will they (or) we be delivered
down the road to paradise

After listening ALOT to this song I believe this to be the correct lyrics:


Road To Paradise


We'll all go together
On the road from hell

We'll all go together
To the chiming of the bells

We will be delivered
Mother of all the skies

We will be delivered
On the road to paradise

We'll all go together
We'll all go together
We'll all go together
Down the road to paradise

Right Now

We'll all go together
On the road from hell
Led by the ghosts and all the dorks
On the road to paradise

Oh Intercede for us
For all our yesterdays
Holy suffering Mother of Jaysus
Save me from the Judgement day

We'll all go together
We'll all go together
We'll all go together
Down the road to paradise

We'll all go together
We'll all go together
We'll all go together
Down the road to paradise

We'll all go together
We'll all go together
Led by the ghosts and all the dorks
On the road to paradise

We will be delivered
We will be delivered
And will they be delivered
Down the road to paradise

We'll all go together
We'll all go together
We'll all go together down the road to paradise

We will be delivered
We will be delivered
And will they be delivered
Down the road to paradise

Madame Bulimia wrote:Shane's right when he says he only writes about god, the devil, sex, and booze.

Oh, I didn't know Shane wrote this song? Perhaps only the lyrics? Because the melody doesn't sound very Shanish. Hehe.
But he didn't write the Glasgow song "Tomorrow belongs to me" did he?

I believe he wrote both the lyrics and music for Road To Paradise.
As for Tomorrow Belongs To Me: "I wrote that song with Phil Ferns and John McLaughlin (Westlife and Busted songwriters)," says Shane. "It was a real co-operative effort." (from The Evening Times)
