lyrics

HENRY HARD-LUCK
Music: Tomi Hyttinen, Lyrics: Salla Rimmi & Niilo Sirola

Flames they went up high as we all gathered at the sight
of the fire at the Old King's Head
Tell me Henry Hard-luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?

1. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Why're you hiding in that pile of hay
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Your misfortunes make a fine display
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Why the townsmen seem to want you dead?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?

2. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Was it you who knocked that lantern down?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
And then spilled the oil all around?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
All your efforts made the fire spread?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Don't you think you should have stayed in bed?

3. Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
If you mean to put a fire out
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
Using water is preferred no doubt?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry Hard-Luck
What on earth was running through your head?
Tell me Henry Hard-Luck, oh Henry
You chose a barrelful of Scotch instead!

Greenrose Faire Tampere, Finland

Greenrose Faire plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths, and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore. ... more
