    The continent of Atlantis was an island
    Which lay before the great flood
    In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
    So great an area of land, that from her western shores

    Those beautiful sailors journeyed
    To the South and the North Americas with ease,
    In their ships with painted sails.

    To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
    The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
    The antediluvian kings colonised the world
    All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas

    In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
    Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
    On board were the Twelve:
    The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,




    The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
    Though Gods they were -
    And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
    Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new

    Hail Atlantis!
    Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
    Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
    Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.
    Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be,
    Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be.

    My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
    I want to see you some day
    My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
    My antediluvian baby,

    My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
    Girl, I want to see you some day.
    My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
    I want to see you some day, oh

    My antediluvian baby.
    My antediluvian baby, I want to see you
    My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
    I want to see you some day

    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
    Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
    My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Must start re-watching the Sopranos some time. That and the earlier seasons of Prison Break.

    Interesting to think who would think of him as Phil and who would think of him as Billy.

    RIP. Contender for the greatest scene in T.V history right here:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,494 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Most would probably remember him for his roles in Martin Scorsese films or The Sopranos, but I also remember him from GTA 3 and San Andreas as Don Salvatore Leone.

    But yeah I'll never forget that scene in Casino when he beats the s*it out of Nicky Santoro and his brother in the desert with a baseball bat.

    Rest in Peace Frank Vincent.

    I love his interaction with Christopher's mother.

    Beware of coarse language.

    His best scene was definitely the sopranos episode where he launches the war against New Jersey to the soundtrack of John Cooper Clarke.

    Close second best is obviously when he sensitively counsels his traumatized emo nephew (after killing his Dad) to stop dressing like a 'Puerto Rican whore'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,946 ✭✭✭buried


    He has great delivery of all his lines in 'The Sopranos', sharp and totally natural. I loved that scene at John's daughters wedding.

    Phil - "I tell you this, my estimation about John Sacramoni as a man, just f**king plummeted."
    Tony - "Give him a break, will ya? It's an emotional day"
    Phil - "To cry like a woman? It's a f**king disgrace!"
    Paulie - "It's ****ing coach turned into a pumpkin"
    Phil - "Even Cinderella didn't cry!"

    Going to give 'The Sopranos' my yearly watchthrough again soon.

    Rest In Peace

    "You look like a Puerto Rican whore" said to his camp nephew.

    not the greatest of actors, but he had a wonderfully evil face that made up for his acting limitations..

    who remembers this one..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,813 ✭✭✭take everything


    Nobody threw an ice cream cone out of a car window during a car chase like Frank Vincent.
    RIP.
