about

The Hobgoblin (never released), performed live at the Cavendish Arms (London)

lyrics

The Hobgoblin

It's dark outside, have to meet my bride
have to go and cross this wood
there she goes, my bride, sure to get it right
or just misunderstood
But the love I feel, will drive my feet
and nothing will divert my will
neither a blue eyed buck, nor a talking duck
can even cast this spell on me

won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?

Could What I've seen be a real thing
or is just me very tired?
This long eared imp friendly looks at me
and builds a fire

won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?

won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?


With a small cauldron, lots of turnip tops
and swede and eels and aubergines
smiles again at me, with a cheeky wink
and offers that to sip and drink
And the love I feel turns a little weird
like she wants to stay away from me
maybe she is alone or maybe another guy
so it's better not to try

won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?

won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
