Mynyddislwyn was a civil parish and urban district in Monmouthshire, south east Wales. It was abolished in local government reorganisation in 1974.
The ancient parish of Mynyddislwyn covered a large part of the lower Ebbw and Sirhowy Valleys. In 1894 the Crosskeys area was included in the urban district of Risca, and Abercarn was constituted a separate urban district.
The remainder of the parish was included in St Mellons Rural District, and included the hamlets of Fleur-de-Lis, Gelligroes, Penmain, Pontllanfraith and Ynysddu.
On October 1, 1903 Mynyddislwyn became an urban district. In 1926 it formed the West Monmouthshire Omnibus Board with neighbouring Bedwellty urban district, to maintain local ownership of local bus services. In 1935 the boundaries were adjusted with Bedwas and Machen and Bedwellty urban districts under a County Review Order.
Mynyddislwyn urban district was abolished in 1974, with its area passing to the borough of Islwyn, in the newly created administrative county of Gwent. Further local government reform in 1996 included the area in the county borough of Caerphilly.
Now she's walking in the dark
Every time, it's her spark
Trying hard to find her will
There's the man she must kill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Hey!
Now she's talkin' in her sleep
Every night, the thoughts creep
Tryin' hard to find that will
She's got secrets to spill
Tell me what you're gonna do
Tonight
She's gonna
Make you wanna follow through
Tonight
She's gonna
Make your heart wanna dance
But romance
Has no chance
So, she'll walk into the night
She's going to want to win the fight
She's gonna talk to you
But still she'll keep on turnin'
There she goes
A tainted rose
And when she stops
Nobody knows
She's gonna talk to you
But 'til she'll keep on turnin'
Two thousand and one cigarrettes
Each one to hide
Every single one of her regrets
My love, wait!
Don't you know the morning light?
Not tonight, not tonight, tonight
Don't you want to see her fight?
