Old land of the mountains, paradise of the poets,
Every valley, every cliff a beauty guards;
Through love of my country, enchanting voices will be
Her streams and rivers to me.

And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons and women!

But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore

That men should brothers be
And form one family

It's not unusual - Tom Jones

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual it happens every day
No matter what you say

You'll find it happens all the time

Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?

It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you

Big Spender - Shirley Bassey

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a
Man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know
What's going on in my mind

So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork
For every guy I see
Hey big spender
Spend a little time with me

Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun
How about a few laughs, laughs
I could show you a good time
Let me show you a good time
