Barclay James Harvest - Lady Macbeth lyrics

like a jester dressed

in a silly gown

something evil came to town

at the darkest hour

in the dead of night

all who'd listen gathered round

from the uninspired

from the tortured sounds

no one noticed, what she'd done

by the pricking of my thumbs

something wicked

this way comes

like a fool possessed

evil grabbed the blade

dripping blood upon the keys

with her cheap disguise

no one realised

how this jester, could deceive

from the uninspired

from the tortured sounds

no one noticed, what she'd done

by the pricking of my thumbs

something wicked

this way comes

this way comes

this way comes

from the uninspired

from the tortured sounds

no one noticed, what she'd done

time knows the truth

and her lies linger on

by the pricking of my thumbs

something wicked

this way comes

by the pricking of my thumbs

something wicked

this way comes

this way comes

this way comes

hush now children

don't you worry

lots of young ones

singing mahler

lies so deadly wrapped in sugar candy
