Lyrics

Verse 1
Come Sisters and brothers
Come Fathers and mothers
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
Come Girls and boys
there's puppets and toys
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

Verse 2
See Singers and sailors
See Tinkers and tailors
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
For collars and hats
For baskets and mats
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

CHORUS
Look over here, look over there
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
Look over here, look over there
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

Verse 3
For purses and saddles
For Boars and paddles
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
You can Sail on the Cam
You can buy pots of jam
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

Verse 4
Toy-makers and pewterers
Fishmongers and fruiterers
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
There's true words and lies
jellied eels and pies
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

CHORUS

Verse 5
What a Ruckus and roister
there's shellfish and oyster
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair
We've had Laughter and tears
for 8 hundred years
Come on down to Stourbridge Fair

CHORUS

The Grotesque At The Leper Chapel Speaks

Lyrics

CHORUS
Seeing, looking, observing, watching.
I am the gargoyle. That’s me.
Seeing, looking, observing, watching
as far as the eye can see.

Verse 1
High up on the wall, above you all
I watch you run, I watch you fall

CHORUS

Verse 2
Cast out by the people, cast out by the city
Don’t you all deserve more than pity?

CHORUS

Bridge
But when you were born, hope was born too
You the child, the hope is you.
Yes when you were born, hope was born too
You the child, the hope is you.

CHORUS
