about

A new recording of a song we originally wrote for our techno-folk opera, The Ballad of Ned Ludd, about the Luddite rebellion; this particular song relates to the public execution of Luddite rebels in 1813.

lyrics

To Tyburn Fair
I used to go,
to watch the just procession,
and eat the oranges
the dead would throw
and hear their last confessions.

To Tyburn Fair
I used to go,
to hear the minstrels sing,
their tragic tales of highwaymen,
common criminals,
enemies of the king.

To Tyburn Fair
on a Saturday,
across the road a beam of wood.
The bones of Cromwell
dangled in the fog,
the Maid of Kent last stood
at Tyburn Fair--
I used to go there,
but now I'm bound for Newgate.
The wheels of progress
ground me in the mud,
a proper end, a tool of fate.

(we'll bury you at crossroads,
we dare not speak or pray,
we'll fill the trench with common earth,
and then we'll walk away.)
