Mackerel Hill

from Tonight's Whispering by Gondoliers

lyrics

Or maybe some sort of a factory
There may have been a really specialized machine
They probably broke down and closed down
When times started changing
When they couldn't afford to stay current and profitable
Isn't that the way we all go?
Down out of history
Rusting away in the weeds, near the woods
This much I know
I can tell when there's been a commotion
I know a little bit about a little bit about this sort of thing
I can tell there was a show. I can smell a letting go
The bodies leave stains and auras and things
Glowing rings hovering above plants in the shapes
Of the tragedies that they've witnessed
You don't need records to show that the past was here
And it was brutally administered
There was some major accounting delivered
Somebody paid for someone's sins
There must have been one gigantic reckoning
Something went horribly wrong up on Mackerel Hill
