Does anyone write caving songs anymore? I've re-written a few and here a cheerful one I like: called 'Caving' based on 'Sailing' by Mike Oldfield (see what I did there), lyrics below. Original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgpS6dQVHbg to put the lyrics & pace in context and hopefully probably make more sense. I can write, but can't sing or arrange - hopefully there's someone out there who can.
Must get down, I won't survive
Hate daylight towns, I need a hole
I'm Hunter'd and I'm wrecked
I need to cave free with no Crow control
Rig the ropes that way
From the bolt to the first belay
All Crow worries fears and stress
Are belayed and put away
'Cos I'm caving, abseiling
Yay, I'm abseiling, caving
A closed in space, it's pretty dire
Banging my light along a long low crawl
Cave has gone and oh so long
Note was left but MRO'll never call
Rig the ropes that way
From the bolt to the first belay
Mud and dark to play
And the draught is going that way
We'll go abseiling, caving
'Cos I'm caving, abseiling
Rig the rope that way
From the bolt to the first belay
There's no judge no hassle no Crows
And the draught is going that way
We'll go abseiling, caving
Yay, I'm abseiling, caving
You know that if you want to come
surely baby we can cave away
Rig the line
All out of time, cave with me baby
Caving, caving
Caving, caving
Must get down, I won't survive
Hate daylight towns, I need a hole
I'm Hunter'd and I'm wrecked
I need to cave free with no Crow control
Rig the ropes that way
From the bolt to the first belay
All Crow worries fears and stress
Are belayed and put away
'Cos I'm caving, abseiling
Yay, I'm abseiling, caving
A closed in space, it's pretty dire
Banging my light along a long low crawl
Cave has gone and oh so long
Note was left but MRO'll never call
Rig the ropes that way
From the bolt to the first belay
Mud and dark to play
And the draught is going that way
We'll go abseiling, caving
'Cos I'm caving, abseiling
Rig the rope that way
From the bolt to the first belay
There's no judge no hassle no Crows
And the draught is going that way
We'll go abseiling, caving
Yay, I'm abseiling, caving
You know that if you want to come
surely baby we can cave away
Rig the line
All out of time, cave with me baby
Caving, caving
Caving, caving
