Just googled for lyrics to this song by Robin Gibb Please tell me its a mistake on one of the verses!! It says `I kissed his anus` his anus was brown so I kissed his bumhole and took him round town. Wanda in horror!! x

Hi Blindasabat I have just googled it and yes you are absolutely right here ya go. When the summer day is over Its busy cares have flown I will sit beneath the starlight With a weary heart alone Then it rises like a vision Sparkling bright it shines for me My own dear, Ellan Vannin With it's green hills by the sea Let me hear the ocean murmur Let me watch your stormy sky Then above the emerald waters Sing the seagull as she flies and i kissed his anus his anus was brown so i kissed his bumhole and took him round town And in all my times of sorrows And onsome lonely shore I'll go back to Ellan Vannin To my childhood days once more Oh my goodness...

If there is a hidden meaning here I am not getting it. That verse doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the song do you think???? Ria xxx

Oh Ria..I love that song..It must be a mistake..Damn sure he never sang those words on `An audience with the Bee Gees` Will have to find video now and listen to it... Wanda.x

Your right..it doesnt..Do you think someone has mucked about with it..Gonna google again and see if its on another site.. Wanda x

These are the lyrics to the one sung by the Spinners many years ago. ELLEN VANNEN Snaefell, Tyndwall and Benmachree, Fourteen ships set out to sea. Proudly bearing a Manx name, But there's one will never again CHO: O Ellen Vannen, of the Isle of Man Company, O Ellen Vannen, lost on the Irish Sea. At one a.m. in Ramsey Bay Captain Tier was heard to say 'The contract says deliver the mail In this rough weather we must not fail.' Liners sheltered from the storm On the wave Ellen Vannen was borne Her holds were full and battened down As she sailed away for Liverpool town Her crew were twenty one Manx men Passengers Liverpool businessmen 'Farewell to Mona's Isle, farewell This little boat is bound for Hell!' Less than a mile from the Bar Lightship Ellen Vannen by a wave was hit She sank 'neath the waters of Liverpool Bay There she lies until this day Few Manxmen now remember The third day in the month December A terrible storm in ninety-nine Ellen Vannen sailed the very last time Gwynne

Just found it on You tube. Says it the unofficial anthem of the Isle of Mann...... Going to have a listen..... Ria xxx

No they are absolutely NOT in the lyrics , just googled and the site you went on is put up by the public.....someone trying to be funny ! If you google Ellan Vannin lyrics you will get the right one! I learnt it when I lived in the IOM. Rosex

Oh that ones nice Gwynne..sad but nice...I love the Bee Gees and it was seeing Ellan signing out for the night from the Isle of Man that made me think of it.... Googled again and yes someone is playing a joke with the words on that particular site..Naughty.. Wanda.x

I think we have to get to the BOTTOM of this (sorry couldnt resist) Had a listen and yes I think someone is messing about (bit rude). The song is beautiful, would love to hear it sung by someone with a lower voice than Robin Gibb. Guinevere, I have had a listen to the Spinners song too. Like it. Mind you loved the Spinners. The video shows the faces of the people who died it is very sad...... Ria xxx

Thanks Rose...x Thanks Ellan..it was your fault I thought of it.Sleep tight...xxx Wandax

Glad to help - I remember it from my folkie days. It was very popular in folk clubs. Lovely song. Gwynne

LOL Ellan, I was hoping you'd gone to bed before you saw it! as you say 'Outrage!' I have a video with the BeeGees singing the song, from about 12 years ago. Must have a listen! Rosexx

Cheers Ria..knew it must have been a mistake...now..do you know the words to `brown girl in the ring` Just kiddin..thats enough for one night..end of passage!! Wanda.xx
