Waiting for this madness to end.
Okay so my widgets include a lyrics tool for my iTunes, and an English to Pirate translator. I'm procrastinating as usual, and I felt like translating some U2 songs.

I'll take any of your requests!

Out of Control

Monday mornin'
Eighteen years o' dawnin'
says I "how long?"
Ye say "how long?"
'twas one dull mornin'
Woke th' world wit' fallin'
I was so sad, so sad
They were so glad, so glad

I was o' a feelin' 'twas out o' control
I had th' opinion 'twas out o' control

Boys 'n Girls
Go t' th' school 'n poppets
They make sprogs
Nah like this one

I was o' a feelin' 'twas out o' control
I had th' opinion 'twas out o' control

I was o' a feelin' 'twas out o' control
I had th' opinion 'twas out o' control

Out o' control...out o' control...out o' control...out o' control...out o'
control...

I fought fate
Thar's blood on th' garden gate
Th' scallywag says childhood
'tis in his childhood

One day I'll die
Th' choice will nah be mine
Will it be too late
Ye can nah fight fate

I was o' a feelin' 'twas out o' control
 
City of Blinding Lights

Th' more ye see th' less ye know
Th' less ye find out as ye go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They be advertisin' in th' skies
Fer scallywags like us

'n I wench ye when ye're nah around
I be gettin' ready t' leave th' ground

Oh ye look so beautiful tonight
In th' city o' blindin' lights

Don't look afore ye laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
Th' camera can nah see

I've seen ye walk unafraid
I've seen ye in th' clothes ye made
Can ye see th' beauty inside o' me?
Wha' happened t' th' beauty I had inside o' me?

(cut)

'n I wench ye when ye're nah around
I be gettin' ready t' leave th' ground

Oh ye look so beautiful tonight
In th' city o' blindin' lights

Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I be
But time won't loot th' lad out o' this scallywag

Oh ye look so beautiful tonight
Oh ye look so beautiful tonight
Oh ye look so beautiful tonight
In th' city o' blindin' lights

Th' more ye know th' less ye feel
Some pray fer others pilfer
Blessin's are nah jus' fer th' ones who kneel... luckily
 
Okay!

A Sort of Homecoming

'n ye know 'tis time t' go
Through th' sleet 'n drivin' snow
Across th' fields o' mournin'
Lights in th' distance
'n ye hunger fer th' time
Time t' heal, desire time
'n ye earth moves beneath
Yer owns dream landscape

Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run

I'll be thar
I'll be thar
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here

Th' city walls are all torn down
Th' dust a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance

'n we live
By th' side o' th' road
On th' side o' a hill
As th' valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
Th' land grows weary o' its owns

Oh coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I
Oh coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I

Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
'n still we run
We run 'n don't look back
I'll be thar
I'll be thar
Tonight
Tonight

I'll be thar tonight
I believe
I'll be thar, somehow
I'll be thar, tonight
Tonight

Oh coma way o say say o coma
O coma way o say I

Th' wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightnin' waltz
No spoken words, jus' a scream...
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across th' sea 'n land
See th' sky, th' burnin' rain
She will die 'n live again
Tonight

'n yer heart beats so slow
Through th' rain 'n fallen snow
Across th' fields o' mournin'
Lights in th' distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
Fer tonight, at last
I be comin' ship
 
Zooropa

(wha' do ye wants?)
(wha' do ye wants?)
Zooropa...vorsprung durch technik (a step ahead through technology)
Zooropa...be all that ye can be
Be a winner
Eat t' get slimmer

Zooropa...a bluer kind o' white
Zooropa...it could be yers tonight
We be mild 'n green
'n squeaky swab

Zooropa...better by design
Zooropa...fly th' friendly skies
Through appliance o' science
We've got that rin' o' confidence

'n I 'ave no compass
'n I 'ave no map
'n I 'ave no reasons
No reasons t' get back

'n I 'ave no religion
'n I dunno wha''s wha'
'n I dunno th' limit
Th' limit o' wha' we've got

Don't worry sprog, it'll be alright
Ye got starb'rd boots
T' get ye through th' night
'tis cold outside, but brightly lit
Skip th' subway
Let's go t' th' o'erground
Get yer head out o' th' mud sprog
Put flowers in th' mud sprog
O'erground

No particular galleon names
No particular chanty
I've been hidin'
Wha' am I hidin' from

Don't worry sprog, 'tis gonna be alright
Uncertainty can be a guidin' light
I hear voices, ridiculous voices
Out in th' slipstream
Let's go, let's go o'erground
Take yer head out o' th' mud sprog

She's gonna dream up
Th' world she wants t' live in
She's gonna dream out loud
She's gonna dream out loud

'n I wench ye when ye're nah around
I be gettin' ready t' leave th' ground

I wench ye? :D

I can see the sea captain on the Simpsons doing these songs someday.
 
:laugh:

Do a love song. All I Want Is You, Mysterious Ways, Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, etc.

And do One! (not to be mixed up with the love songs above, lol)
 
I'm on it! :)

One

Be it gettin' better, or do ye feel th' same?
Will it make it easier on ye, now ye got someone t' blame?
Ye say one love, one life, when 'tis one needs in th' night.
One love, we get t' share it
Leaves ye sprog if ye don't care fer it.

Did I disappoint ye or leave a bad taste in yer mouth?
Ye act like ye ne'er had love 'n ye wants me t' go without.
Well, 'tis too late tonight t' drag th' past out into th' light.
We be one, but we be nah th' same.
We get t' carry each other, carry each other... one

'ave ye come here fer forgiveness,
'ave ye come t' raise th' dead
'ave ye come here t' play Jesus t' th' lepers in yer head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
Ye gave me naught, now 'tis all I got.
We be one, but we be nah th' same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

Ye say love be a temple, love a higher law
Love be a temple, love th' higher law.
Ye ask me t' board, but then ye make me crawl
'n I can nah be holdin' on t' wha' ye got, when all ye got be hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, ye got t' do wha' ye should.
One life wit' each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we be nah th' same.
We get t' carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.
 
All I Want is You

Ye say ye wants
Diamonds on a rin' o' gold
Ye say ye wants
Yer tale t' remain untold
But all th' promises we make
From th' cradle t' th' grave
When all I wants be ye

Ye say ye'll give me
A highway wit' no one on it
Treasure jus' t' look upon it
All th' riches in th' night

Ye say ye'll give me
Eyes in a moon o' blindness
A river in a time o' dryness
A harbour in th' tempest
But all th' promises we make
From th' cradle t' th' grave
When all I wants be ye

Ye say ye wants
Yer love t' work out right
T' last wit' me through th' night

Ye say ye wants
Diamonds on a rin' o' gold
Yer tale t' remain untold
Yer love nah t' grow cold

All th' promises we break
From th' cradle t' th' grave
When all I wants be ye

Ye
All I wants be...
Ye
All I wants be...
Ye
All I wants be...
 
Mysterious Ways

Johnny loot a walk
Wit' yer sister th' moon
Let her pale light in
T' fill up yer cabin
Ye've been livin' underground
Eatin' from a can
Ye've been runnin' away
From wha' ye don't understand...
Love

She's slippy
Ye’re slidin' down
Will she be thar
When ye hit th' ground

'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh

Johnny loot a dive
Wit' yer sister in th' rain
Let her natter about th' thin's
Ye can nah explain
T' touch be t' heal
T' hurt be t' pilfer
If ye wants t' kiss th' sky
Better learn how t' kneel - On yer knees lad

She's th' wave
She turns th' tide
She sees th' scallywag, inside th' sprog
Yeah

'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
Lift me days, light up me nights
Love

One day ye will look... back
'n ye'll see... where
Ye were held... how
By this love... while
Ye could stand thar
Ye could move on this moment
Follow this feelin'

'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
'tis all right, 'tis all right, 'tis all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh

Oh love
Oh love, lover
Move ye
Spirit move
Baby love me
Move
Baby love me
Move ye
Baby love me
Move wit' it
She moves wit' it

Lift me days, light up me nights
 
Wild Horses

Ye're dangerous 'cause ye're honest
Ye're dangerous, ye dunno wha' ye wants
Well ye left me heart empty as a vacant lot
Fer any spirit t' haunt
Ahoy ahoy sha la la
Ahoy ahoy

Ye're an accident waitin' t' happen
Ye're a piece o' glass left in a beach
Well, ye tell me thin's I know ye're nah supposed t'
Then ye leave me jus' out o' reach

Ahoy ahoy sha la la
Ahoy ahoy sha la la

Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in yer blue sea?
Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at th' foot o' thee?

Well ye pilfered it 'cause I needed th' doubloons
'n ye scuttled it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well ye lied t' me 'cause I asked ye t'
Baby, can we still be mates?

Ahoy ahoy sha la la
Ahoy ahoy sha la la

Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in yer blue sea?
Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at th' foot o' thee?

Oh, th' deeper I spin
Oh, th' hunter will sin fer yer ivory skin
Took a drive in th' dirty rain
T' a galleon where th' wind calls yer name
Under th' trees th' river laughin' at ye 'n me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
Th' doors ye open
I jus' can nah close

Don't come about, don't come about again
Don't come about, yer gypsy heart
Don't come about, don't come about again
Don't come about, 'n don't look back
Come on now love, don't ye look back!

Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in yer blue sea?
Who's gonna taste yer salt water kisses?
Who's gonna loot th' galleon o' me?

Who's gonna ride yer wild horses?
 
Miami

Weather 'round here choppin' 'n changin'
Surgery in th' air
Print shirts 'n southern accents
Cigars 'n big hair
We got th' wheels, petrol's cheap
We only went thar fer a week
Got th' sun, got th' sand
Got th' batteries in th' handycam...

Her eyes are swimmin' pool blue
Dumb bells on a divin' board
Baby's always attracted t' th' thin's she's afraid o'
Big lass wit' th' sweet tooth
Watches th' skinny lass in th' photo shoot
Freshmen, squeaky swab
She tastes o' chlorine
(Miami), me mammy

Love th' movies babe
Love t' walk through th' movie sets
Get t' shoot someone in th' foot
Get t' smoke some cigarettes
No big deal we know th' score
Jus' back from th' video store
Got th' car 'n th' car chase
Wha''s he got inside th' case
I wants a close up o' that face
Here comes th' car chase

I bought two new suits... Miami
Pink 'n blue... Miami
I loot a picture o' ye... Me mammy
Gettin' hot in a photo booth... Miami
I said ye looked like a Madonna
Ye said maybe...
Said I wants t' 'ave yer sprog... sprog, sprog
We could make somethin' beautiful
Somethin' that wouldna be a problem
We could make somethin' beautiful
Somethin' that wouldna be a problem
At least nah in Miami

Ye know some places are like yer auntie
But thar's no ship like
Miami, me mammy
Miami, me mammy
(Keys are in th' car)
(Miami, me mammy)
Miami, me mammy

(Shake, shake down)
 
Mofo
Lookin' fer t' save me save me soul
Lookin' in th' places where no flowers grow
Lookin' fer t' fill that God shaped hole
Mother... mother suckin' rock 'n furl, mother...

Holy dunc, spacejunk comin' in fer th' splash
(Been around back... been around front)
Wh-wh-white dopes on punk s-starin' into th' flash
(Been around back... been around front)
Lookin' fer th' sprog Jesus under th' trash
(Been around back... been around front)

Mother... mother suckin' rock 'n furl, mother...
Bubble poppin', t' th' rock 'n... rock 'n... rock 'n furl, mother...

Mother... mother... mother...
Mother... mother... mother...

Mother... am I still yer son
Ye know I've waited fer so long t' hear ye say so
Mother... ye left 'n made me someone
Now I be still a sprog, no one tells me no

Lookin' fer a sound that's goin' drown out th' world
(Been around back... been around front)
Lookin' fer th' cap'n o' me two little poppets
(Been around back... been around front)
Got th' swin', got th' sway, got me straw in lemonade
(Been around back... been around front)
Still lookin' fer th' face I had afore th' world was made
(Been around back... been around front)

Mother... mother suckin' rock 'n furl, mother...
Hoppin' poppin' shoppin' droppin', 'tis rock 'n furl, mother...
Mother... mother suck, yeah, farrg yeah, mother...

The Fly

Oh, sprog sprog...
'tis no secret that th' stars are fallin' from th' sky
'tis no secret that our world be in darkness tonight
They say th' sun be sometimes eclipsed by a moon
Ye know I don't see ye when she walks in th' cabin

'tis no secret that a scallywag be someone who lets ye help
'tis no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret be somethin' ye tell one other scallywag
So I be tellin' ye, sprog

A scallywag will beg
A scallywag will crawl
On th' sheer face o' love
Like a fly on a wall
'tis no secret at all

'tis no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
'tis no secret ambition bites th' nails o' success
Every artist be a cannibal, every poet be a thief
All scuttle thar inspiration 'n sin' about thar grief

O'er love...

A scallywag will rise
A scallywag will fall
From th' sheer face o' love
Like a fly from a wall
'tis no secret at all

Love...we shine like a
Burnin' star
We be fallin' from th' sky
Tonight

A scallywag will rise
A scallywag will fall
From th' sheer face o' love
Like a fly from a wall
'tis no secret at all

Oh, yeah!
'tis no secret that th' stars are fallin' from th' sky
Th' universe exploded 'cause o' one scallywag's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I be runnin' outta change
Thar's a lot o' thin's if I could I'd rearrange



:lmao: i think this is the funniest one yet!
 
Lemon

Lemon
See through in th' sunlight
She wore lemon
But ne'er in th' daylight
She's gonna make ye cry
She's gonna make ye whisper 'n moan
'n when ye're dry
She draws her water from th' stone
'n I feel
Like I be slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
'n I feel
Like I be holdin' onto naught

She wore lemon
T' colour in th' cold grey night
She had Fiddler's Green
'n she held on so tight

A scallywag makes a picture
A movin' picture
Through th' light projected
He can see hisself up close
A scallywag captures colour
A scallywag likes t' stare
He turns his doubloons into light t' look fer her

'n I feel
Like I be driftin', driftin', driftin' from th' shore
'n I feel
Like I be swimmin' out t' her

Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins

Lemon
See through in th' sunlight

A scallywag builds a city
Wit' banks 'n cathedrals
A scallywag melts th' sand so he can
See th' world outside
her thar
A scallywag makes a car
destination
'n builds roads t' run them on
A scallywag dreams o' weighin' anchor
But he always stays behind

'n these are th' days
When our work has come assunder
'n these are th' days
When we look fer somethin' other

Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins

Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins
Midnight be where th' day begins

A scallywag makes a picture
A movin' picture
Through th' light projected
He can see hisself up close
her thar
A scallywag captures colour
destination
A scallywag likes t' stare
thar
He turns his doubloons into light
T' look fer her
She be th' dreamer
She's imagination
Through th' light projected
he can see hisself up close
 
Bad

If ye twist 'n turn away
If ye tear yourself in two again
If I could, aye I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Strike yer colors
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline t' th' wind
Leave this heart o' clay
See ye walk, walk away
Into th' night
'n through th' rain
Into th' half-light
'n through th' flame

If I could through meself
Set yer spirit free
I'd lead yer heart away
See ye break, break away
Into th' light
'n t' th' day

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

T' let it go! 'n so t' fade away
T' let it go!
'n so fade away
I be wide awake
I be wide awake
Wide awake
I be nah sleepin', oh no, no, no

If ye should ask then maybe they'd
Tell ye wha' I would say
True colors fly in blue 'n black
Bruised silken sky 'n burnin' Jolly Roger
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

If I could, ye know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation

Let it go
'n so fade away
T' let it go, oh yeah
'n so fade away
T' let it go, oh No
'n so t' fade away
I be wide awake
I be wide awake
Wide awake
I be nah sleepin' oh no no
