about

Ren-faire/madrigal-chic, an ode to kitchen-witchery, tincturing and Getting Things Done. references "Camelot" 1960's film and the French art film "Diary of a Country Priest" and reflects enough crystals to light-power a New Age Self-help convention.

lyrics

as I wake up one morning in my country house
with a long list of failed appointments and un-achieved goals
I open up the tea cabinet behind piles of old spell books
and issues of Southern Living magazine...

his mind may be yellow but I'va crush on this fellow
he comes ev'ry win'tr deep inside of me
plants new trees, decorates the evergreens
and switches on a light down there so I can see...

I've got a girl who's in charge of the moon and the
Garlands that hang down the sides of my dress
she'll keep me warm as long as she's on
but when fall comes she makes a big mess...

[her name is sweet Valeri-ann
she signed her highschool yearbook with her own blood
but she still hangs her number on my fridge]

sub ["Lusty Month of May" Camelot interlude]

I've got a cat, his name's Christian Bale
I keep him in a jar and put him in my coffee when I'm
In the mood for something natural and sweet
He's mostly black, and tastes like Anise

Sweet Pimpinella loves sewing and hoeing
Carolers everywhere are singing her song
but Southern Baptists are praying for mercy
on the trail of her Garlands that are forty feet long!

she swept through [conservative Christian politician]'s campaign headquarters
and interstate traffic on Friday afternoon
each night there's a place Her admirers gather
around the corner, under the next full moon
