Lyrics

None couldst tell, and nought would sway
Our Hero from his path this day
Wretched though the skies did cry
To the house of hodgman, must he fly

Though he could not see the ground
And enemies beset him round
With one mind persevered he on
To the house of hodgman is he gone

Many a tale of valour is sung
Of the doings of the cloakEd one
Though night

By and By his path unwound
With ne’er a secret way unfound

OR we go for a gnk entry.

All alone,
Lost in a crowd
See a face you kinda recognise
Looks your way
Knows your name
Smiles with warmth in his eyes.

Have a drink
Getting late
Time you should be on your way
He holds you close
Suggests a place
Nearby that both of you can stay.

Cos if you want to
Then I want to
And I won’t say no
If you need to
How would it feel to
Give it a go

Ill at ease
Out of control
He leads you to his bedroom door
His eager face
Flatters your pride
Like nothing ever has before

Cos if you want to
Then I want to
And I won’t say no
If you need to
How would it feel to
Give it a go

And when you come the sense of what you’ve done is overwhelming and you want to hide your face and cry the night away
And the heart you’ll soon have broken is still giggling and joking and thinking of the next amusing game to play.
The House of Hodgman closes round you, you’re looking for your clothes and now you keep your face so passive, can you hide your shame? You need to leave, you must get out, you try to breathe, you can’t get out, he wraps his arms around you and he says your name

Cos if you want to
Then I want to
And I won’t say no
If you need to
How would it feel to
Give it a go

You don’t dare look
At Hodgman’s house
But even so you don’t forget
Because the ghost
Of one night stands
Haunts the halls of your regret.
