Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs from the East Anglia fenlands
Hi Richard,
Not a traditional song, but one I wrote based on a story common across East Anglia, and I chose to set it in the fens.
If you are from around these parts, you may be familiar with the story of Black Shuck, large black dog, with flaming eyes, as the story has it, see the dog and you've had your lot! My spin on it was to take it as a 'bogey man' story, don't go out or the dog will get you.
You'll find it on the 'Hounds' website, www.bountyhounds.co.uk follow the link on the right to 'music' the song is called 'Eyes of Flame'
If you like what you hear and want words, chords etc happy to oblige.
