lyrics

"The hung boy"

Ghost – spectre – spirit – spook – shade – shadow – apparition – revenant - wraith

Up in the backyard behind my old house there was a big tree, just made for climbing.

When I was young I used to see the stretched, ragged form of a child hanging in the branches. I’d look away, blink, look back and it would be gone.

Years later my mother let it slip that the previous owners of our house had a little boy who accidentally hung himself from the big tree.

He had climbed quite high when his cardigan got caught in the branches. Lost his footing and the cardigan wrapped around his little neck and strangled him.

As he hung in mid air, kicking out wildly, his mother was indoors baking a teacake.
