Ennio Morricone

In this world there's the good the bad

and the ugly, just wanting a few dollars

more, thinking they are the untouchables,

as it was once upon a time in America,

on looking for the mission,as it was once

upon a time in the west, when Bugsy was

In the line of fire, the thing is the disclosure 

of the mission to Mars, the hateful eight,

became the best offer for Ripple's game,

the ecstasy of gold were days in heaven,

So here's to you man with the harmonica,

he was the man with no name, the mercenary,

a time of destiny, end of the game, the big

gun down, just for a fistful of dollars, to enable

them to kill bill, the copkiller, Lolita, the lizard

In a woman's skin, hits right up your street,

thought death rides a horse, there's a great

silence, entering the last stop on the night train,

the sound of the cat of nine tails on Navajo joe,

and the bird with the crystal plumage, the 

verdict, a gun for ringo, the outsider of the Sicilian 

clan, so farewell to Cheyenne and chi mai, and 

sorry for the transgression.

Well done, Roy. Ennio Morricone happens to be one of my fav artists. Pity some people just associate him with spaghetti westerns! You listed some of his great works; his legacy will last forever. // paul
