about

It began with a meme Billy Vail made for me, 'anyway, here's wonder wall' Henrician edition. featuring court musician (as seen in The Tudors series), the casualty of Anne Boleyn's trials, Mark Smeaton. Thanks, this is for you Billy! (It's also a meta broken toy love song, of course.)

lyrics

ANYWAY, HERE’S GREEN SLEEVES

Alas, dear bones we cannot dance
The volta requires ligaments
And I have loved you
Ghoul so long
Haunting wire cave
Courtier charms

Banshee screams to all delight
Broken lutes
And who but my polter-Bones

We dream, we live
We sew and write
We’ll find our thread
And pull it tight

Alas, dear bones we cannot dance
The volta requires ligaments

Banshee screams to all delight
Broken lutes
And who but my polter-Bones
