    How could I forget this one?:

    Burn - Deep Purple
    We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
    It won't be visible through the air
    And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

    Listen again to King Crimsons "happy family"... Best example of a spell ever.

    On second thought, maybe it was a witches curse!


    Happy family, one hand clap, four went by and none come back.
    Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.
    Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, "We'll blow our own canoes,"
    Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo

    Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up with their share of stock.
    Silver Rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock, knock, knock.
    Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round must surely spin;
    Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out, "We're not Rin Tin Tin."

    Uncle Rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus clothes
    Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of weird
    Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning knife.
    Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back

    Happy family, pale applause, each to his revolving doors.
    Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude so sweet.
    Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers win;
    Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none came back

    Oh yeah, recent favorites...

    (Not that there is much to recommend the video, but the song is still amazing...)


    And a little more Cream flavoured...
    Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.

    Klaatu - "Dr. Marvello":

    So bland was our condition
    We summoned black magicians
    To wave a wand or two
    Talismanic spells
    Tannis root and well
    To tell the tale
    Their magic failed

    "Was I A Witch?" by The Art Bears shares some light on Joan Of Arc. A pretty strange song that I can't seem to find on Y.T.

    First thing I thought about:

    Treguna mekoides trecorum satis dee!
    HuGo
    "Very, very nice," said a man in the crowd,
    When the golden voice appeared.
    She was gold alright, but then so is rust.
    "Such a shame about the beard."

    Seriously though, THIS is what I thought about first:
    HuGo
    "Very, very nice," said a man in the crowd,
    When the golden voice appeared.
    She was gold alright, but then so is rust.
    "Such a shame about the beard."

    Yoke Shire's "The Witching Hour" double album sounds like it was tailor-made for Halloween. The title track is sublime, wish I could find a YT link to the studio version, but it's on Spotify.
