lyrics

Have a lovely day, do not go astray
into eldritch realms of accursed research.
Premature demise - that could be your prize,
or a life prolonged to unspeakable length
if you mispronounce one rune of a chant.

Have a lovely day, do not go astray
into nighted vaults where the luminous fungi cast a glow
onto things below better off forgotten and left undisturbed.
Have a lovely day, it will be OK
if you got some flowers to hang on the doors of badger dens
‘cause they are your friends
have them round for tea ‘cause it’s better than...

it’s better...yes it’s better...better than hanging round in
deconsecrated, crumbling abbeys encrusted with nitre,
where in unlit cellars, horrible tomes
are kept chained to the stone walls

Have a lovely day, do not go astray
go and pick some flowers
to hang on the doors of badger dens
‘cause they are your friends
they are all your friends, go see them today
you know they would love to have you for lunch.
