Bruce Dickinson - Jerusalem

Lyrics to Jerusalem :
[Bruce Dickinson / Roy Z.]

And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
Was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth on our clouded hill?
Was Jerusalem built here
In England's green and pleasant land?

Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash the scales from my eyes
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let me see again...

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
I shall not sleep till the clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...

From the frozen waters
The king will rise again
With two suns in the sky...

I shall not cease from mental flight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...

See the gleaming spires of the citadel
The king and queen will dwell
In our hearts...

Can Jerusalem be rebuilded here
In this trivial time, in this land of fear?
In Jerusalem, where the grail remains
Walk into the light and dissolve the chains

Jerusalem...

Here is her secret place
From hence she comes forth on the churches in delight
Here is her cup, filled with its poisons
In these horrid veils
And here, her scarlet veil, woven in pestilence and war
Here is Jerusalem, bound in chains
In the dense of Babylon...

The Elephant Song

The Elephant Song - Cool Tunes for Kids by Eric Herman

Kids' music artist, Eric Herman, sings an incredibly cute song all about elephants... sort of... The video was created by his wife, Roseann, with the help of their 3 year-old (at the time) daughter, Becca. The little girl in the song is Meghan Kleinlein from Amherst, NY, who was 6 at the time.

This version of "The Elephant Song" is on Eric's first CD, The Kid in the Mirror, and a new version featuring his daughters, Becca and Evee, is on Snail's Pace.



(Lyrics to The Elephant Song by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band)

Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees…
No… elephants don't swing through trees… that's monkeys.

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean…
No, that's fish.

Fish. I like fish.
Fish. I like fish.
I like how they scratch at fleas, and sniff at trees, and bark at the mailman.
No, no, no, those are dogs.

Gotta like dogs.
Yeah!
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice…
No, no, cats.

Cats. I like cats.
Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, Cock-a-doodle-doo!
No, no, no, they go meow. You're thinking of roosters.

Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey.
Uh uh… bears do that.

Bears, I like bears.
I like how they jump up how, to catch a fly, and sit on a lily pad.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Frogs.

Gotta like frogs.
Yeah.
Running through a maze for some cheese…
No, that's mice.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, "He haw! He haw!"
No, they go sweak sweak. That's a donkey.

Donkeys, I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big, gray trunks.
No, that's an elephant.

Right, like I said, elephants, I like elephants.
