lyrics

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

Sad Songs for Sad Girls in Hogsmeade
by Grace Kendall

supported by 8 fans who also own “Arthur Weasley”

This album is exactly what it says on the tin, because sad songs are Grace's speciality. But that doesn't mean it's lacking variety or range. Here are 11 songs about loss, frustration, helplessness, fear, judgement, insight, empathy and love. Listen to them again and again, because you will discover something new every time. yourwizardrockresource

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 8 fans who also own “Arthur Weasley”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
