about

Inspired by a field and some lovely people.

lyrics

Sanctuary

Oh this it is our sanctuary, and we're very pleased to be
Around the pit, not of despair, quite the contrary

Under the stars or clear blue sky, God Pete protects us all
In the fire glow we take a turn playing all the songs we know

From you can't bring your dogs in 'ere mate, to I forgot the milk
[Give your money to millionaires, see the smiling faces]
Dave'll cut his liver out and pin it on yer braces

It's not Spain or the Algarve, but you can take yourself away
For months or weeks or just a few precious summer days

To live in serenity, whatever that may be to you
Paint a picture in your mind, to take away and hold on to

Endless joy absorbing, naturality;
not far from so-called civilisation, sans austeristy

*Cross the troll bridge at your peril, mind the archers in the wood They might shoot if you're causing trouble, so you'd better be good

We don't drink from a flagon, or eat from a silver plate
But you are always more than welcome to bring yourself, the wife, a tent, the kids and don't forget the dogs mate

Beware the Hedge monster and his dastardly wicked ways
Hear him stagger 'round after dark
'Cos he's a cider head these days.
