semmern Hotshot Registered: 03/19/01 Posts: 8807 Loc: Oslo, Norway	That song always chokes me up. Mark Knopfler released a new album in September. One of the songs is titled "Remembrance Day". It is also a very touching song. I understand he will play it on a Remembrance Day event at Trafalgar Square in London on Nov. 11th. Lyrics: On your maypole green See the winding morris men Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken Waving hankies, sticks and books All the earthen roofs Standing at the crease The batsman takes a look around The boys are fielding on home ground The steeple sharp against the blue When I think of you Sam and Andy Jack and John Charlie, Martin Jamie, Ron Harry, Stephen Will and Don Matthew, Michael On and on We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them Time has slipped away The Summer sky to Autumn yields A haze of smoke across the fields Let's sup and fight another round And walk the stublbed ground When November brings The poppies on Remembrance Day When the vicar comes to say May God bless them every one Lest we forget our sons We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them We will remember them Remember them Remember them _________________________ In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
