A spell beyond Ordinary Wizarding
Conjures up a guardian that acts as as shield
Between you and the dementors
Against what they feed on a positive force
Hope, happiness, the desire to survive
It cannot feel despair
Incantation and concentration
On a happy memory
Expecto Patronum, Expecto Patronum
Glistening form
Rattling breath coming out of the fog
Rotting, icy cold
Reaching out towards you
Lower your hood for the dementor’s kiss
They clamp the jaws upon the victim’s lips
And suck out the soul
No chance of recovery - the forever-lost soul
Does anyone deserve this?
Forever darkness
And they suck out the soul

You may wish to appear stylish and debonair
When you step out for a leisurely stroll
But you might happen to seem old-fashioned
If you're still shitting your robes
Using the bathroom for poos and pees
A mark of discernment, so current and chic
Whether they're taking a dump or a leak
The connoisseur takes it where no-one can see
If your comportment is cultured and modern
Then you'll be acknowledged as the talk of the town
But passé and quaint is the picture you'll paint
When you grunt one out in the lounge
Using the bathroom for poos and pees
Splendido in Rome, à la mode in Paris
Why the fuck do we even need
To sell this idea to you?
Just use the bathroom for pees and poos

Leave Her, Harry

Oh the voyage from home is the hardest one
Leave her, Harry, leave her
The woman who brought you to life is gone
And it's time for us to leave her
Leave her, Harry, leave her
Leave her, Harry, leave her!
For the bridge is burned and the way is clear
And it's time for us to leave her.
So bitter a lie I've seldom heard
(Leave her, Harry, leave her)
She's spoiled her page with rotten words
(And it's time for us to leave her)
I'll suffer no soul tossed overboard
(Leave her, Harry, leave her)
We'll lower the lifeboats and row to shore
(And it's time for us to leave her)
O'er tales once told she has no more power
(Leave her, Harry, leave her)
The ship's adrift but her cargo's ours
(And it's time for us to leave her)
So come, old friend, let's set to work
(Leave her, Harry, leave her)
To keep your best and renounce your worst
(And it's time for us to leave her)

Sky's caving in but I'm too good a dog to run
Born in a bin and I'm starting to stink
The longer I'm left out in the sun
Made a mistake when I tried to show myself
What can I say? Thought I might be okay
With the hand I've been dealt
Little brother don't you know your place?
Is a life of quiet desperation such a terrible fate?
Come one Ronnie, now don't be shy
It's what you wanted
Now you're king for a day
Maybe that'll teach you to fly
Somebody pull the plug on me
Kill the lights and let me be
Just that kid who hangs around
I'm begging you to let me leave
And lick my wounds in peace
Back to just a face in the crowd
Too slow to quit and there's claws twisting in my gut
Edge of the pit and I throw myself in
Think I must be falling up
Try me again
I will turn you away
Welcome to my end
The pleasure's all mine today
Little brother don't you know your strength?
Is deserved recognition such a shocking event?
Come on Ronnie, now don't be shy
It's what you wanted
Now you're king for a day
Maybe this'll teach you to fly

Island In The Cave
04:49

Steal away, boys; haul the chain, boys
Swing her head round into the middle
Bears she forward elf and wizard
To the island in the cave
We’ve been chosen for an honour
Go along, now, with my master
Do his bidding, and when it’s over
You must come back home again
Golden locket - wicked object!
Tell me all that you remember
Lead me back to where he left you
On the island in the cave
Deathly still and cold the water
Black as oil and smooth as silver
Rotten hands and rotten timber
Gird the island in the cave
You shall wait, and I shall empty
Do we each our awful duty
As I drown, then you must leave me
By the island in the cave
Break his locket, speak not of it
From my mother keep our secret
Never tell her, come whatever,
Of the island in the cave
