The lyrics are fun and imaginative. Along with the guitar, this makes a nice campfire song. 

well done... simple,straightforward... like the lyrics

@watermelontour thanks for listening   thank you! :) I'm no poet

Love this, and yer voice. Reminiscent of george Harrison ‘All Things Must Pass’ album vibe.

I wrote this whilst hypnopompic in bed one morning in April 2021 along with The Law. Went downstairs and played this then immediately recorded hence the simplicity. 

"Morning Star" has more than one meaning but it is also the name of a pub I recommend visiting when in Lincoln.

The "like minded" people I'm not talking about may or may not visit it. I have no idea. 


The dawn invites you to Exchequer Square
Forged by fire and ice
Where the cobbles glow like embers
Even the bankers smiles seem nice
They’re shaking hands well with the bishop
Visiting eyes see through their lens
Do they imagine they're not peasants
That the Roman empire came to an end?
There are witches in the temple
Selling idols to the kids
The rosy cross-eyed noon sun
Sprinkles gold on their eyelids
There are mysteries beneath them
That won’t be known until the end
There’s a wizards deal which must be done
As with Judas his Lords friend
There is power in the arches
In the towers and underground
Black magic in the symbols
You failed to see when looking 'round
Weary travellers drinking coffee
To stay awake with hobbled minds
There is no stain on the newly
Blood soaked masonry behind
There's a meeting of like minds
As the sun goes down on the Morning Star
The Magna Carta's just a relic
The Son of God a diesel car
The Prince of this World holds the lantern
And the key to the treasury
The light that leads to darkness
The misguided love to misery

Exchequer Square
