lyrics

Inspired by the classic ghost story of MR James.

V1
When first I heard the story
I had to make it mine
Unearth the buried Saxon crown
What a treasure! what a find!

Two were lost to sea and time
Just one remained for me
To make my name and make my life
A grand museum piece

Bridge
If only I could put it back
But He will not forgive
guardian of the ancient crown
I will not outlive

Chorus
Curiosity killed the cat
the crown’s keeper killed me
Ghost of William Ager
Will never let me be

Warning to the curious
You eaters of the ancient tree
Don't tinker with the sacred things
Leave them alone, Please let them be

V2
Since first I started digging
I’ve never been alone
Dim presence there behind me
Under earth and over stone

Sacrilegious prying
This curséd curiosity
More things in heaven and on earth
Than my philosophy

Bridge
If only I could put it back
But he will not forgive
Dead guardian of the ancient crown
I will not outlive

Chorus
Curiosity killed the cat
keeper of the crown killed me
Ghost of William Ager
Will never let me be

Warning to the curious
You eaters of the ancient tree
Don't tinker with the sacred things
Leave them alone, Please let them be
