lyrics
The Starlings murmered to me, Sheeprack, Starn, Stare,
wordless amorphic eloquence, in the dusky night air.
A Wood Pigeon flapped, Clatter Dove, Cushie Doe,
as spattered The Chatter Pie, in my mind's eye.
We are one, we are bound,
by revelations: troubling, beautiful and profound.
In hawthorn and field maple Hedge Spadgers flitted and gabed,
and beckoned follow us, to The Hallowed Glade.
Along ancient highways, lost sunken lanes,
forgotten, hedge fringed byways, Shufflewing, Our Lady's Hen.
Throstle and Black Uzzle, darted across my dream,
mellifluous melody, requiem, and eulogy.
Jay: Devil's Snitch, Flesh Crows, Jack Caddaws,
in the oak trees, sat high and cawed.
Up ahead in the distance, I saw The Fox my majestic beast,
who will, in time, on my dead flesh feast.
Over brook and stream, Fisher King, Lamprey replete,
I sensed my journey was ended, and almost complete.
Reliable Bob Robin, always near and dear,
Barn Owl quartered, there was nothing to fear.
To a glade, where an ancient yew tree stands,
our longed for hallowed place, I fall into her woody embrace.
Her roots drew me down, to a place, a place I belonged
A place I belonged and longed to be.

Quirky alternative art rockers with pagan folk and blues influences, whose witty lyrics offer a wry look at life and death
and the cycles of nature. Old enough to know better, but daft enough to do it anyway, this oddball outfit from East Sussex (UK) play edgy and eclectic original material in their own unique style....more
