Ich suche zwei Liedtexte. Eine ganze Reihe von Songtextarchiven habe ich schon durchstöbert - leider vergeblich.
1. I was born under a wandring star .... den kompletten eglischen Text dieses Liedes suche ich
2. A letter from America, ..... ein Song von The Proclaimers aus den 80er Jahren
Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

Hast Glück, den einen hab ich auf meinem Rechner:-)
was born under a wanderin' star. I was born under a wanderin' star.
Wheels are made for rollin', mules are made to pack. I've never seen a site that didn't look better lookin' back.
I was born under a wanderin' star.
Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry. Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry. Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to. Which with any luck will never come true.
I was born under a wanderin' star. I was born under a wanderin' star.
Do I know where hell is, hell is in hell-o. Heaven is good-bye forever it's time for me to go.
I was born under a wanderin' star, a wanderin', wanderin' star.
Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry. Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry. Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to. Which with any luck will never come true.
I was born under a wanderin' star. I was born under a wanderin' star.
When I get to heaven tie me to a tree. Or I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be.
I was born under a wanderin' star. A wanderin', wanderin' star.

When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
Broke off from my work the other day
I spent the evening thinking about
All the blood that flowed away
Across the ocean to the second chance
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?
I've looked at the ocean
Tried hard to imagine
The way you felt the day you sailed
From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
We should have held you
We should have told you
But you know our sense of timing
We always wait too long
lochaber no more
Sutherland no more
Lewis no more
Skye no more...... etc
I wonder my blood
Will you ever return
To help us kick the life back
To a dying mutual friend
Do we not love her?
Do we not say we love her?
Do we have to roam the world
To prove how much it hurts?
Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Irvine no more.
;o)

DANKE, das ging ja viel schneller, als ich dachte. Ich war vergeblich in mindestens einem Dutzend Archiven.

Es faellt mir schwer, hier die hilfreichste Antwort anzugeben, am liebsten wuerde ich das gleich drei Mal tun. Ich entscheide mich schweren Herzens dann mal fuer die Antwort, die als Link gleich beide Texte enthielt. Der Dank gilt aber allen.
