She's Got a New Spell - Billy Bragg

What is that sound

Where is it coming from

All around

What are you running from

Something you don’t understand

Something you cannot command

That’s how I know

She’s got a new spell

Yes, that’s how I know

That she’s got a new spell

What’s going down

Who’s moved this room from round me

Where has it gone

I fear this night will drown me

So I lie awake all night

'Cos I can’t sleep with something I can’t fight

The laws of gravity are very, very strict

And you’re just bending them for your own benefit

One minute she says

She’s gone to get the cat in

The next thing I know

She’s mumbling in Latin

She cut the stars out of the sky

And baked them in a pie

She stole the scene and scenery

The script and the machinery
