lyrics

Hey now, parish man
Tell me where you’re goin’
Give us all your heartsome news of pilgrims and fire
Look along your garden gate
Rusted through to ruin
Can you see your legacy in the fate of your Empire?

See the poverty you raised as son
He’ll come to claim disaster
While those who serve the both of you
Still love their master

We’re hunting the wren
Drowning the witch
The country man, the strawbed man
Frozen in the Boxland
Is cursing the sleepers as they lay on rhododendron

So those fields of yours
Are filled with rocks and rubble
Still they yield a hearty crop of pathos and fear
Smell the air, it’s thick with smoke
From all your burning stubble
Meet me at the country fair and
I’ll judge you with your peers

My potmetal pounds won’t buy your wares
So I’ll say goodbye and be goin’
But you still haven’t said where you are bound
Or don’t you know, then?

We’re hunting the wren
Drowning the witch
The country man, the strawbed man
Frozen in the Boxland
Is cursing the sleepers as they lay
While they’re on their holiday
