Wednesday morning
Mixing formula for two
What an awful lot of news for one letter
Little sister
Just a bit more gone than yesterday
Funny how the final nail makes all the difference
Can you feel love for another?
Will he be a son and a brother, one of your own?
Sometimes the past is just too heavy to put down
He'll have to stay around
Harry Potter
Such a nasty, common name
You swear he won't be the same
He won't be a...
His eyes remind you
Of something you will never be
She was special, you see
She was...different

Every wizard and witch turn on your radio
Have you heard the breaking news
‘Bout the mysterious fate of Mr. You-Know-Who?
Send an owl to your friends, put on your finest robes
Jump in the fireplace and come around
Time to make up for the years we were underground
One for Harry, one for Lily and James
And all the other empty chairs
One to celebrate, one to remember their names
Hold your wands up in the air
They gave their lives to protect their kid
When there was nothing else to give
Everybody raise a glass
Everybody raise a butterbeer to the boy who lived
Eleven years of fussing and fighting
Eleven years of cruel war
To see the end of eleven long years in hiding
Is what we live for
Now everybody's got a million questions
Everybody's got to know the how and why
Just take a breath everybody
Don't let your, your curiosity kill the vibe
Rapturous and riotous in every street
Letting off our fireworks
Statute of Secrecy be damned tonight
We're gonna watch the darkness come alive with light
Don't you let it tear your soul apart
All the love inside your mother's heart
Was your defence against the darkest art

Evil is banal, they say
But good can be too
He Who Mustn't Be Named may have had his day
But there's still work to do
Fascist turds that just won't flush
Denials and excuses
They may use a lighter touch
But it's the same old abuses
To stand your ground when it's keeping you down
Is easier said than done
Do you ever want to sign on the Ministry line
Take the money and run?
Time and again ambitious men
Let conscience go to sleep
It's never the goal to sell your soul
But soon you're in too deep
Oh Arthur Weasley
No-one said it was easy
With oh so many mouths to feed
To be the hero that muggles need
Chin up, Arthur Weasley
I don't mean to be bold
But galleons and sickles can't buy a heart of gold
It couldn't happen today, or so they say
The horrors of the past
But all the pain will come back again
If ever we drop our guard
Some will pretend to be a friend
To muggles and to house-elves
If they're weak when it's time to speak
We'll just have to do it ourselves
When you feel like you can't swim against the tide
You'll find a reason every time you close your eyes
All the friends who lived, and all the friends who died
Wear your bovver boots and get stuck in
Win or lose, at least you did something

Ever noticed things get pretty strange
When you're angry or you're scared?
Ever wondered how you flew away
Or why no-one can cut your hair?
They told you that your mother was no good
They told you that your dad was a drunk
You don't know what they did to protect you
You can't explain the things that you've done
Say hello to your birthright
It's time you know who you are
What happened on that October night
And how you got your scar
This is the story of your once and future life
One where everybody knows your name
You won't have to keep the magic shut inside
Things will never be the same
You're a wizard
Can't quite believe these freaky happenings (look, out, look out)
The flying bikes and talking snakes
I know they told you not to dream of better things
Close your eyes and listen to the part of you that aches for something more
Say hello to your birthright
There's power you know not in your blood
You've been looking at the world under gaslight
Things are different out in the sun

The Next Great Adventure

So that was it
The final sip
Through all the centuries we've lived
I've never seen you quiet as this
Let's take a walk to clear our heads
And talk about the time that we have left
How to live ourselves to death
Let's sit up late as our mourners come and go
A million words of friends we've known
A thousand echoes, happy ghosts of nights like these drift through our home
I'm so afraid to see you fade
I have been such a lucky man
Six hundred years of holding your hand
A very long time of which to say
I've loved you more each day
And every great adventure on the way
Let's take our favourite books and read them in the sun
Autumn has come and our days are ours alone
How the time has flown
We must have had fun
My heart always full though I'm running on empty
Never enough of you though there's been plenty
I pray your face is the last thing that I ever see
Will it be you or will it be me?
The next great adventure -
What will it...

There's A Storm

On island tides the mind has dreamed and drifted
Nightly trial of the spirit
But tonight the zeitgeist has shifted
The spell is lifted
Boiling away the fog
I see the rolling red eyes of God
And he rolls away the stone
And says to me, come home
Rolling back the fog of dementia
My god I remember
I am the strange avenger
There's a storm coming
Washing the filth from ancient veins
And you'd best be ready
There’s a storm coming
There’s a storm
