lyrics

Scarecrow Grave

Lay me down in a scarecrow’s grave
Dig out a cross in a shallow way
In the middle of a barren field
On the brow of a hill where plovers wheel

Lay me down in a scarecrow’s grave
With a pair of boots made out of crates
Push me down with the sticks and stones
And nail me down through my broken bones

‘Cos if I ever rise from that scarecrow’s grave
With a heart of straw that’s burning away
I’ll never cease to roam these dark hills
Looking for a girl with golden shoes

Yes bury me down in a scarecrow’s grave
Hold me down so I never rise again
See that there are no crosses on that hill
So all those good folk can fear no ill

Just bury me down in a scarecrow’s grave
With my heart of straw and my pauper’s name
And I will never trouble you again my dear

I’ll be the green corn again in another year.

about

trailer star Nottingham, UK

It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
Paul Kerr - Blabber n' Smoke
