Grup 84 - Ölürüm Hasretinle

i hate when you cry in your makeup
I know she wont change if i say some
I take these pills just to not wake up
I been drinking so much i get banged up
There's no fucking what if Love wont save us
Everything is despair when you break up
Everything is despair when you break up
Everything is despair when you break up

We performed this at our recent summer solstice party expecting our pagan friends to know it and join in. They didn't and didn't, citing a Christian-indoctrinated primary schooling. My class in Milk St Primary School Frome (the one before the 11 plus year) used to sing this with hip, miniskirted Miss Millington who possibly got it from the Pete Seeger version and worldview. Seeger was deeply involved in the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King and no doubt enjoyed the progressive implications of the song, the keeper freeing the doe into the woods (among the leaves so green-o) rather than killing her or holding her captive. In the early 70s, as the English folk rock band Steeleye Span took Irish Republican folk songs like "All Around My Hat" ("I will wear a green willow) and McCartney singing "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" up the charts, I assumed "The Keeper" was a similarly progressive song about the changing relationship between England and Ireland. It could be though I'm not sure it started out like that. Apparently, it's just one of those eternal hunter/hind songs about sex, "under his cloak he carried a bow for to shoot a merry little doe."  I prefer the green 1965 version with miniskirted Miss Millington where, despite our incipient pubescence and a propensity for innuendo, Class 7 thought it was about a keeper hunting and then releasing an elfin doe among the trees into a semi-magical wood, like the ones we knew in Somerset. (It was a progressive school but also marked by the limitations of its time : when the whole year group sang together, the 'remove' class was always and only given the percussion instruments.)

THE KEEPER

Hello, do you still remember my voice?
I still have your phone number
So I call on a phone box
And I hope you still live in memory of me, baby
But at the same time, I hope you take apart to be normal
Hello, do you still remember my voice?
You love to hear this and now no one hear me, no one heal me
Baby, can you come back to me?
Come back to me
Can you come back to me?
Stay with me
Hello, do you still remember our love?
I remind every single moment, every single line
Grabbing fuking empty place of you, baby I feel low
Tell me this is not ending
Tell me this is not ending
But I see, baby, credit
I see, baby, credit
And tell me this is not ending
But I see there's a credit
There's a credit of you and me
