lyrics

The Witch Is Dead

The moment that I heard the witch was dead
I wondered what her mother thought
If all the years of memories pure and true
Could overcome what she had done

It’s not easy to try
And see it through her eyes
We all start the same
But we’re products of
The world our brains create

So go home
And hold the one you love
That little bit tighter tonight
And sleep snug
Safe and sound because you know
There’s one less touch of evil
One less grain of rotten alive
Tonight
The witch is dead

An hour later on the word had spread
We hear the words the world has weft
The disbelief disintegrates the jokes are read
Like cartwheels turn inside our heads

And it’s easy to hear
The truth that gives us cheer
An escape for a while
A diversion from
The world our brains create

So go home
And hold the one you love
That little bit tighter tonight
And sleep smug
Safe and sound because you know
There’s one less touch of evil
One less grain of rotten alive
Tonight
The witch is dead
The witch is dead!

about

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart.
