Dolmen
A dolmen, also known as a cromlech, portal tomb, portal grave or quoit, is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more megaliths supporting a large flat horizontal capstone ("table"), although there are also more complex variants. Most date from the early Neolithic (4000–3000 BCE). Dolmens were typically covered with earth or smaller stones to form a tumulus. In many instances, that covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the burial mound intact.
It remains unclear when, why, and by whom the earliest dolmens were made. The oldest known dolmens are in Western Europe, where they were set in place around 7,000 years ago. Archaeologists still do not know who erected these dolmens, which makes it difficult to know why they did it. They are generally all regarded as tombs or burial chambers, despite the absence of clear evidence for this. Human remains, sometimes accompanied by artifacts, have been found in or close to the dolmens which could be scientifically dated using Radiocarbon dating. However, it has been impossible to prove that these remains date from the time when the stones were originally set in place.

Honeypot
by: Bob SchneiderWell I got some flowers coming in
Got some friends that all call me Jim
But you can call me Honeypot
'Cause I like you a lot (yeah)
I'm the real thing, oh baby
I ain't no boy(king?), no baby
I'm a real man, honey
I don't need my mama's money
But it don't hurt... No it don't hurt
(Chorus)
Got a heart lost in kindness
A mind that's mostly mindless
I can hold you up for air
I won't let you down I swear
I have burnt down my past
I'm lost, I'm built to last
I'm built to break, but that's okay
Got a boat down by the lake
We can go there, we can go there,
We can go there when you want
We can go there baby
Well I know it's hard to tell
But I can save you from this spell
I can help you get right through
Stick around like super glue
Dig them ghosts up from the grave
Throw them bones into the waves
Oh baby, you don't have to worry
I'm built for comfort, not for hurry
(Chorus)
Got a heart lost in kindness
A mind that's mostly mindless
I can hold you up for air
I won't let you down I swear
I have burnt down my past
I'm lost, I'm built to last
I'm built to break, but that's okay
I got a place down by the lake
We can go there, whenever you want,
We can go there
Everybody sing...
La, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la
