The South Will Rise Again Lyrics - How I Learned To Love The Bootboys - Auteurs

How does the magic move around you? 

How does the magic move around you? 

So come down from the castle, say 

The old town looks the same 

My father's ghost from '53 

The south will rise again 

How does the magic move around you? 

The queen of the south frowns upon you 

Went to see the medium 

Went to change my name 

Came back home a better man 

The south will rise again 

See I was born and I will die here 

And the seasons never change 

Scatter my ashes in the water 

The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen 

The south will rise again 

How does the magic move around you? 

Church bells ring out Sunday morning 

(No one can quite believe the news) 

Children's faces betray the second coming 

It's Sunday morning 

He was a leading light with his fascism of the day 

We are angry and we're getting nearer 

The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen 

The south will rise again 

The gods have smiled, all hail the new queen 

The south will rise again 

How does the magic move around you?
