about

after the poem of the same name by Eric Rolls

lyrics

One raven sits in the tall ghost gum
staring down as the sun comes up
over me still sleeping at the back of the shed
mud in my teeth and my nails stained with red

and I scrub it off, I scrub it off
I scrub away the red
I scrub it off, I scrub it off
like Lady MacBeth

Two ravens sit at the top of the tree
turning four blue eyes - following me
watching where I went last night and who I was with
telling me again, just what I did

and I scrub it off, I scrub it off
I scrub away the red
I scrub it off, I scrub it off
like Lady MacBeth
I scrub it off, I scrub it off
but not enough to forget
I scrub it off, I scrub it off
like Lady MacBeth

So I cut some wood
and stop my ears
to forget what was said;
and I carve away at my hands remains
Like Lady MacBeth

Three ravens sit in the branches of the gallows
dismembering the mice and eating all the sparrows
Four ravens caw and cack and scream at me like babies
as I whittle away at my hands remains like MacBeth's Lady

So I cut some wood to stop my ears
to forget what was said
and I carve away at my hands remains
like Lady MacBeth.
