Standing at the rocky edge
of watching as tides wash in and out
Watching as the sun deep footprints,
deep and clear like everything,
it disappears
And during a humbug,
it was the night when we took Jersey
In the dark where gods and girls
play for all to see
We found it there, the hangman tree
Slow down, slow down,
hold the reins for me
Still running as you hit the ground
Hold the reins for me
Wild brother is a faraway life
Rumbles on its tracks
And can so close to yours and mine
Sign out for the Northern Line
Slow down, slow down,
hold the reins for me
Still running as you hit the ground
Hold the reins for me
Come and see me sometime,
I'll cook you up a feast
I'll float the tales that
you've got hid
You're safe in our castle
You're safe in our castle
Offload the tails that you got
It goes tight into the hang
man tree
Offload the tails that you got
It goes tight into the hangman tree
Offload the tails that you got
It goes tight into the hangman tree
Don't you forget you're tied
