Banshee Lyrics by The Scratch

Mind Yourself

2023

[Intro]
There was a banshee rotting in Kelly's field
It's gone now because banshees, well...
There used to be banshees in Kelly's field
Mainly one banshee
But the builders are after building houses
And soccer pitches in Kelly's field
So the banshees are now going down
To Kelly's field in Moyross...
Well there's loads of banshees down in erm...
The dumb field, and erm... in erm....
Delis as well...
There's the headless coachman down there...
The headless horseman
The headless horseman was probably fighting
With a banshee, and he died...

[Verse 1]
Still on the quest for the snakes under me bed
Botchin' a good old kip for the head
And I'm still not dead
(It must be the rosaries)

It was a long time ago
(Yeah, we know)
And I still get that sinking feeling
And heavy breathing
(It must be the rosaries)

[Chorus]
Hard to cast a shadow when you're lying in a box room
It's me and you and it's either this
Or it'll be life as stone
I'm trembling on these stilts and I'm fit to fall through
Mind yourself
And learn a thing or two

Look for air
With your eyes open

[Verse 2]
It's hard to think on a memory so cold
I guess I'm not too old
To be scared of the things I'm told
(It must be the rosaries)

It was a long time ago
(Yeah, we know)
And yet the layers and layers and layers
Of fear
Try to keep me here

[Chorus]
Hard to cast a shadow when you're lying in a box room
It's me and you and it's either this
Or it'll be life as stone
I'm trembling on these stilts and I'm fit to fall through
Mind yourself
And learn a thing or two

Look for air
With your eyes open

Look, beware
You're the prize token
Look, beware
You're the prize token

Look, beware
You're the prize token
