Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Green Man (Royston Wood)
thank you very much for listening and writing down the words! I like the presence of the Fool in the poem.

based on that, I tried once more to listen closely, and found these possibilities, not knowing if they are clumsy English or if they could be right as some sorts of idiom:

"So it's for the fool, he stands and he jingles"

"And it's bury your shame with the times of the dying"

"And the fool, he gets up and shakes his branches"

"And so it's dance to the rain you children of Albion"

"And it's scatter your old Kings under the harrow"


cheers
