This song is about a clueless Muggle, who inadvertently (but constantly) messes up the plans of his wand wielding wife. For Matthew!
lyrics
Today I mowed down a ring of mushrooms
Trying to make our lawn clean
She screamed, and threw her gifts of silver
Said I ruined Hallowe'en... she calls it... Samhain
She likes them birds as black as night now
Calls them down from the sky
Yes the plants she grows are poison
And these black cats keep walkin by
SAYS SHE TALKS TO RAVENS
AND THE CROWS KNOW HER NAME
OH YA, SHE TALKS TO RAVENS
THEY CALL HER OUT BY HER NAME
I dream of snakes, and ugly spiders
Then I wake up with a dry mouth
Ya, I found a coil of rope in the garden
With some old broom set at the south. Sorry dear... I threw them out!
NOW SHE TALKS TO RAVENS
TELLIN CROWS ABOUT MY NAME
SHE BEGS, MORRI-Gaaaaa-AN
TO COME MAKE MY LAUNDRY CLEAN
WE DON'T HAVE NO SAVINGS
OUR CAR TURNED 18
BUT WE OBEY MYSTIC FORCES
THAT ONLY SHE... HAS EVER SEEN
She keeps a wand of wood in her pocket
She wears a star around her neck
Yes, the wand is from a Blackthorn
And the star, she burned in our carpet, red & black
SAYS SHE TALKS TO RAVENS
AND THE CROWS KNOW HER NAME
OH YA, SHE TALKS TO RAVENS
THEY CALL HER OUT BY HER NAME
Did Oden mow down a ring of mushrooms?
