Threadbare Consort recorded the 'The Scaffold' on 'Wearing Thin' album. 'Hark to the clinking of hammers, hark to the driving of nails. Men are erecting a gallows in one of Her Majesty's gaols. A life - a man's life to be taken, which the Crown and the hangman hail. And men are erecting a scaffold in one of Her Majesty's gaols.' later... 'His strong frame in agony quivers. His breast, how wildly it heaves. His arms closely are pinioned. The Hangman himself almost screams...' Phew! Strong stuff.
