about

One of the first songs written together, which has since had a perennial presence on our setlists. Jake’s lyrics take inspiration from the sense of history and magic pervading ideas of Britain’s pagan past, infused with the feeling of homely benevolence that we can experience in natural landscapes. This is underpinned and accentuated by Jeremy and Fran’s melodic, dreamy duet of guitar and accordion.

lyrics

You belong to Albion,
Take a step you’re nearly home
Settle down between the mounds
The old gods are smiling down
You will know with mistletoe
Kissing ‘til the tears flow
Awaken the pagan in you

Come take my hand and we’ll stand, my love
Under the full harvest moon
Walk in the woods without hosen or hoods
Naked feet moistened in dew
You belong to Albion,
Take a step you’re nearly home
Awaken the pagan in you

Dance in the ring of the forsaken kings
The archer the maid and the fool
Ring solstice bells as your ripe belly swells
Wrapping my arms ‘round your womb
Settle down between the mounds
The old gods are smiling down
Awaken the pagan in you

Open your eyes at midsummer sunrise
Carve our names deep in the runes
Dance out the night at the festival rite
Of Samhain and Beltane and Yule
You will know with mistletoe
Kissing ‘til the tears flow
Awaken the pagan in you
Awaken the pagan in you
