Shave the Monkey's myspace site is still there, and includes the track "Witchfinder General" - listen to it here: http://www.myspace.com/shavethemonkey I have tried to transcribe the words, but as always, there are some I just can't make out. Can anyone fill in the blanks or correct where I've misheard please? WITCHFINDER GENERAL (Carolyn Sheppard & Bryan Causton) We will find you, we'll come searching, innocent or guilty yet We will ask and you must answer, condemned to die by Pyewackett Are you listening Matthew Hopkins, are you sleeping sound Can you hear us scratching from our graves in the ground We are we are weed and west We are and our souls cannot rest Lizzie Clark was just the start, many more hung by her side For not bleeding when you pricked us with a knife that cut no hide Are you listening Matthew Hopkins, are you sleeping sound Can you hear us scratching from our graves in the ground We are four hundred strong, we are dead by you We are lost to the church, to the devil we are due Torturing the weak and feeble, townsmen paying you in gold Feeding fever in the fearful, murdering the poor and old Are you listening Matthew Hopkins, are you sleeping sound Can you hear us scratching from our graves in the ground You're the witch finder general, you are bold and strong You are rich and respected, but of all you are wrong We will find you, we'll come searching, innocent or guilty yet We will ask and you must answer, condemned to die by Pyewackett Are you listening Matthew Hopkins, are you sleeping sound Can you hear us scratching from our graves in the ground We are we are weed and west We are and our souls cannot rest Are you listening Matthew Hopkins, are you sleeping sound Can you hear us scratching from our graves in the ground You're the witch finder general, you are bold and strong You are rich and respected, but of all you are wrong
