Oh the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to whom they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And Ramona loves the orchard
And Liza loves the pine
And Cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine

Oh Cyrus trusts the spirits
And they fill his life with grace
Yeah the father of his fathers
Passed him down the gift of faith
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just Cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the ones he loves...

And the two girls start to dancing
When they hear that silken voice
That's when Cyrus asks the moonlight
Do I have to make a choice
tween Liza with her red hair
And Ramona with her blues
And with all these gifts they bring me
Tell me how can I refuse

Well the hills are full of spirits
And they walk when night comes round
And they speak to whom they choose to
When the moon is shining down
And Ramona loves the orchard
And Liza loves the pine
And Cyrus in the moonlight
Loves the flowing of the wine
And one night you might hear it
Like a wailing from above
It's just Cyrus in the moonlight
Singing to the ones he loves.

Originally Cyndi Lauper, apparently. I recommend the Empty Hats version if you like folksy. Some of them are poly people, so it sounds different coming from them. (www.emptyhats.com/)

poison girls = Menage Abattoir
patsy cline = tra lelalela triangle
Mirah = murphy bed
prince/cyndi lauper= when you were mine

does new order's= bizarre love triangle count?

damn this is hard. all these songs are kinda sad and full of heartachy feelings.....

Ooh - "Cyrus in the Moonlight " lyrics are cool!

The first poly song I can recall is one that's resonated with me since I was very young. It's called "Love the one you're with", by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The verses were hetero-bent, and it's not QUITE about living in a triad or quad... but it's the end of the chorus that inspired me long before I knew what "Poly" was... it just made sense...

"If you can't be with the one you love, honey, Love the one you're with!"

I'm working on new lyrics for Cuir Bleu, too, and definitely playing with the theme...

There's also "Ted, Woody and Junior" by Robin Hitchcock... that I had thought was, "Ted, Woody and Julia". I think I may need to re-do it that way! Lots of lather...

Always True to You in My Fashion, Cole Porter

For neurotic poly, of course, there's the Killers "Mr. Brightside," which I'm sure everyone's heard too many times to want to see the lyrics again.
