about

She's not mad. Just disappointed. But she is patient and forgiving, with a wicked sense of humour, witch is nice

lyrics

Saw it with my own eyes down on Lovers Lane
Lain upon the hawthorn beneath the weather vane
Whether vain or just afraid I made myself abstain
From joining in the mischief upon the granite stane

I unhitched the witch bike from her garden gate
Guarding against witchcraft, crossed my baldy pate
Praying that the witch would not become irate
I reckon she won't miss her bike at an hour so late

Will she even notice that the bike is gone?
Will the witch want her black bike back before the dawn?

On I rode the witch bike down the road I know'd
Nodding at the cat's eyes winking as they glowed
Gleefully I dream'd of my hearty warm abode
Til up got a gust and golly how it blow'd

Borne upon the breeze the bicycle took flight
Frightened by the altitude I gripped the handles tight
Over hills and cornfields I floated like a kite
Til through the parting mists the witch house came in sight

Does this mean she's noticed that the bike is gone?
Does the the witch want her black bike back before the dawn?

Scattering the corncrake I yanked on the brake
The witch came out her cottage and thusly she spake:
"You escaping on my bike will cause me no heartache
"Only next time you borrow it ask before you take"

She let me hang around til my hangover was gone
And we supped stingee nettle soup until the dawn

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
