Dancing Did – Charnel Boy Lyrics

Artist: Dancing Did
Song: Charnel Boy

I’m the charnel boy
Bone inspector
Unpaid pagan spectral rector
Sheep grass boy with lupine whine

Woad stained skin and eyes incarnadine
And eyes and eyes incarnadine
Incarnad-eyes incarnadine
I tend

Tend the Tutankhamens of England
And visit every barrow sooner or later
I’m the ancient king curator
Move like a mist, like a will-o’-the-wisp

I’m the archetypal archeologist
Every night at a different charnel ground
I make my ritual habitual rounds
From rolling southern downs

To winding northern wall
To barn owl’s hoot, goat-sucker’s call
I search and scrape across the landscape
Move like a mist, like a will-o’-the-wisp

Move like a mist, like a will-o’-the-wisp
Move like a mist, like a will-o’-the-wisp
But water-meadows bog me down
I’ve got to be on the whistling

High ground
Where I smell out barrow bones
Like a lurcher smells out rodent’s hidden homes
Like a lurcher smells out hidden homes

Like a lurcher smells out hidden
Homes
I’m the charnel boy
Bone inspector

Unpaid pagan spectral rector
Sheep grass boy with lupine whine
Woad stained skin and eyes incarnadine
And eyes and eyes incarnadine

Incarnad-eyes incarnadine
