The wind is crying through the trees The coven invokes thee A hymn to the great Diana goddess of the moon The cares of day departed are The night it is yours and In kinship we join with nature under the moon
A moon song, dark night Magic flowing through the glade We sing your rite Secrets of the darkness A moon song, dark night In the space between two worlds We sing your rite Sacred to the goddess
The circle dances round and round The tune of the pipes of The horned god who’s consort you keep echoes in the darkness The huntress she is drawing near As we sing our ode To the sister of Lucifer, the goddess of the witches
A moon song, dark night Magic flowing through the glade We sing your rite Secrets of the darkness A moon song, dark night In the space between two worlds We sing your rite Sacred to the goddess
Some people think that death is sad but I have never found it so It really isnt all that bad if you just relax and let it go V2 So wave goodbye to all your cares To see them go is such relief As you sleep softly in your grave It's good to have a firm belief
Chorus So i say Ha ha has hee he hee Everybody laugh together Death Can be so funny
Ha ha has he he hee Everybody laugh together Death Can Be So Funny V3 I saw the tunnel saw the light Saw my life flash before my eyes Found my lost keys saw my ex-wife And although I am, dying it feels alright Chorus So i say Ha ha haa he he heee Everybody laugh together Death Can be so funny
Ha ha ha hee hee hee Everybody laugh together death can be so funny
Bridge All life's a stage We have our parts to play But is it a drama or a tragedy The fat lady sings Ian standing in the wings It's then I see that it's a comedy
The Mill Song by James Pentney and Stephen Podolski
High tidal waves on Berkeley quay For countless years turning the stones No need for oil or shovelled coal And the mill ground on and on And the mill ground on
On Frampton wharf another mill Beside the wide Sharpness Canal Where deep sea craft meet narrow boats And the mill grinds on and on And the mill grinds on
By Severn Way and Cotswold shade Within the hall over the green Where rhyming vowels meet gentle notes And the mill grinds on and on And the mill grinds on
From Portishead to Gloucester lock The ripping Severn thunders through Where tidal range meets highland streams And the mill grinds on and on And the mill grinds on
Wheat prices soar, sea levels rise Low lying towns and cities drown Can mighty Severn power again Will the mill grind on and on Will the mill grind on

Song no. 5 – Trump
Trump by Lady McShane
He's orange and he's round His brain just can't be found It's Trump It's Trump
He's sexist and he's racist His surname means fart He respects no-one and thinks the kidney's in the heart It's Trump It's Trump Trumpadeedoodahbedoobebopshewaddywaa Trumpadeedoobopbedoobedoowaa
Alas, he is The President The President of the Free World He wants the world to work for you but not if you're a girl Splitting families at the border Building walls of hate. Let's get this man deposed right now Before it's too late.
We've had enough of your **** Donald. It's time to think about the damage you've done. We've had enough of your **** Donald. It's time to think about the damage you've done. We've had enough of your **** Donald. It's time to think about the damage you've done. We've had enough of your **** Donald. It's time to think about the damage you've done.

Song no. 6 – After it Falls (WINNER OF STROUD SONG CONTEST 2019!)
After it Falls by Arthur Jackson
Wait until the sunlight drowns pavement Most mornings Watch the blue hiccups of the moon Catch your girl There she is There she goes There she leaves Don't call me out x3 Dont tell me how to love Some spiderweb thin music Is tangled in my ear The air is getting hotter And You're looking insincere And for how much longer should I hope? After all x2 After this falls When will this weather settle down So temperamental When will my eyes stop looking around So accidental There you are There you go There you leave Don't call me out x3 Don't tell me how to love Some spider web thin music Is tangled in my ear The air is getting hotter You're looking insincere And for how much longer will I hope? After all x2 After it falls Tell me I've seen to much No one knows me enough Some spiderweb thin music Is tangled in my ear The air is getting hotter You're looking insincere And for how much longer do I hope? After all x2 After it falls

Song no. 7 – Connectivity
Connectivity by Fergus Ryan
Connected with the things I love, all that I do, and how I feel Teach me how to live and care, for all of life, everywhere
Connectivity, Connectivity That’s the way forward, rebuild society Connectivity, truth, transparency For the people, for our planet and the children - do you see?
Feet on the Earth, we feel our way Don’t need those gadgets, stow them for another day Machines aren’t made with hearts to share The world’s in crisis, to save it we must dare
Connectivity, when you’re next to me We stand upon our land and feel the way it’s meant to be Connectivity, in strength and in peace For the people and the planet, for the future, just be
[sheep bit]- Baba Baba ba ba baa (etc)
If you feel alone, angry or scared I know that feeling; the powers that be don’t care We’ve been controlled, fooled and deceived ‘Cos everything sustainable relies on connectivity
Connectivity, Connectivity That’s the way forward, rebuild society Connectivity, truth, transparency For the people, for the planet and our future harmony
Connectivity, when you’re next to me We stand upon our land and feel the way it’s meant to be Connectivity, in strength and in peace For the people and the planet, for the future, just be

Song no. 8 – Throwin’ Stones
Last night on the beach I saw a dead bird and it taught me that freedom is just a word We spend our whole lives down on these streets but ive seen your smile before, and I'll see it again I'm sure Lets look for it tonight down on the beach
I'm not sure about that red wine, there you were saying it would be fine That’s the last time I ever listen to you (we both know that’s not true) but the night time is calling now and the bars will soon be crawling oh we’ll both feel it in the morning but just so you know I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause I’ve been waiting a long time I’ve been waiting a long long time I’ve been waiting a long time to hear your story so come on share it with me lets just sit here and thrown stones into the sea
Oh lets go out tonight on the pier I’ve got a backpack full of cider and each one of us here has got these feelings we try to hide but we all dream of distant lands and we all need a helping hand lets bury our feelings tonight deep down in the sand I want to laugh until i cry I want to light up someones eyes and I still think about that day that day my friend died tell me are we still allowed to look for pictures in the clouds does that seem ridiculous oh Nicholas I don’t think you can hear me
Cause I’ve been waiting a long time I’ve been waiting a long long time I’ve been waiting a long time to hear your story so come on share it with me lets just sit here and thrown stones into the sea
And just like how these stones climb out of the water theres another place i know we should be but nothing in this world every came for free oh but can’t you see
Cause I’ve been waiting a long time I’ve been waiting a long long time I’ve been waiting a long time to hear your story so come on share it with me lets just sit here and thrown stones into the sea lets just sit here, just you and me

I could see you on a hill Shouting at the top of your voice and I could hear you in the wind Singing any song that you want
But you've been running, far too long Trying to find what's right and wrong I think it's time you, I think it's time you stay I think it's time you, I think it's time you,I think it's time you stay
and I know you don't want the past to get in your way But you ain't gonna see the sky if you don't dig it up someday
and You've been running, far too long Trying to find what's been and gone. I think it's time you, I think it's time you stay I think it's time you, I think it's time you, I think it's time you stay
and You've been running, far too long Trying to find what's been and gone. I think it's time you, I think it's time you, I think it's time you stay
Veins flow to the heart As rivers to the sea They’ll flow until eternity To me they mean infinity Perfection right before my eyes! Blood runs cold As the secrets burst from the waves And I scream at the beauty…
But I’ve lost the heart I’ve lost the feeling for all of this I’ve lost the kiss That held me to her lips...
Two seconds flat And I’m flat on my back I have to leave them Leave this place for good For better for worse But which is better, which is worse? A stranger in a crowd? Or a crowd of friendly faces? I will walk away With a fire in my heart Walk and walk Until it starts again Turn it into a firework display Let’s go in the garden and play The swings are freshly oiled and shine bright red Oh God I wish that I was dead...
And I’ve lost the heart I’ve lost the feeling for all of this I’ve lost the kiss That held me to her lips And all that’s left Is transparency and emptiness All that’s left Are little bits...
