Ok...  I'm just having a pint after work, y'know, it's been a long day - it's me right.
Well, I see this very attractive woman: she doesn't look happy, mind, she looks sad.

Me? Well, I'm here on vacation. I'm just a country girl in the city, where there's lots of twits about. Well... not as many as you'd think actually. Ah, still, I was very lonely... and then I saw him, in a pub...
and so it began...

Well, everyone was still and now they dance around

It’s like the music is grooving through the fabric of the town
You look to me and the fire glows

The landlord laughs and everybody knows
A few words, a hello, a 'how-do-you-do'

You stupid bloody peasant and the words that you use
You know it’s not the vodka that’s burning in my veins
It’s the power of love igniting into flames

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

There’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A man to lean on and adore

A look will do when words won’t say

I try to talk and for once my words
Come out my mouth and are clearly heard

I listen I laugh - you’re a goofy prick
I toss my hair as I feel us click

It’s like my life so far has been biding time
Til I meet you and my world begins to rhyme

I see all the colours that were hidden in haste
When I learned the pain of love laid waste

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

So, there’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A love to protect and adore

A look will do when words can’t say

Do... you think ye mightn't fancy another?

Well, I suppose... but only if you're paying

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
