Group for the group creator, Paul Stephen Dixon, whom is about to undergo heart surgery!!! Paul, I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!!!! Cheers, Sandra. / Lyrics For “Chrome Plated Heart” by Melissa Ethridge I got a chrome-plated heart / I got wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart / I got angels crying from up above / And they got rust in their eyes / They got rust on their love / But I have learned to leave no stone unturned / And keep the wall against my back / And the love is real as the day is long / And the night is black / As black as night I got a two dollar stare / Midas in my touch and Delilah in my hair / I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes / With this red hot fever and these chromium blues / And I will feel another lovers wheel / And drive for miles and not look back / And the love is real as the day is long / And the night is black / As black as night And I’ll dance in time and the times are rough / And I’ll pay the price and I’ll pray that it’s enough / And just outside the door where it always rains / I’ll take the time to polish these scratches and these stains On my chrome-plated heart / Wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart / I got angels crying from up above / And they got rust in their eyes / They got rust on their love / And the only way I know where the train will go / Is when I’m sleeping on the tracks / And the love is real as the day is long / And the night is black / As black as night / And the night is black / As black as night
A brick archway above a door at Saint Nicholas Church, Carrickfergus. Some confusion exists as to the exact date and foundation of the Church. It was almost certainly built by John De Courcy, a well known builder of Churches and Abbeys, who founded Carrickfergus in 1182. . The confusion arises because of the existence of two Abbeys in the area. Saint Mary’s Abbey, Goodburn (or Woodburn), was founded by John De Courcy for the Premonstratensian Order of monks, the White Canons. The building was dedicated to the Holy Cross. The other monastery was for the Franciscans or Grey Friars, founded probably by De Lacy, Earl of Ulster in 1232. It stood in the Joymount area of the town. The problem is: to which monastery was Saint Nicholas’ Church attached? The Church looked very different then than now in several ways. The Chancel is much longer than it was originally, having been built by Robert le Mercer in 1305-6. The roof was lower. The floor is at present about three feet higher than originally, due to various roof collapses and the burning of the Church. Originally the body of the Church was much wider. The massive Norman arches opened out on both sides of the nave, revealing side aisles. Sir Thomas Drew, the Architect, in his report dated 1872, says: “opposite the two east ward arches on each side would appear to have been lateral chapels, two on the south and two on the north, which occupied very nearly the area of the present transepts.” The position of these chapels would have been about the east walls of the present Church. These all disappeared in the reconstruction carried out for Sir Arthur Chichester by one Thomas Paps in 1614. The Norman pillars were encased in the present walls and did not come to light until 1907 when they were uncovered. The visitor to the Church will be surprised to see the crooked aisle. This “skew,” as it has been called, was not due to an architectural mistake, but was done deliberately. It was said that when our Lord died upon the Cross His head fell to the right. The present Church with its cruciform shape symbolizes this in the crookedness of the aisle. The only other example of this in Ulster is that of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh.
