In, stepping further in, welcomed by the light
Seeing the others around
Will I make a sound? Will I know the way?
What is it I’ve found?
Listen to the ones, listen to the end
Blowing a candle out
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Gone, faces fade to black. I can hardly see,
Where there used to be friends
Some could be my age
Want to know their way?
What is it that I’ve found?
Listen to a boy, listen to a girl
Another candle out
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Out, as the lights go out,
As the darkness comes
It’s getting closer to me
Will I make a sound? Will I know the way?
Starting to see what I’ve found
Listen to the tales, listen to my tale
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
I’m unprepared to tell a story, who’ll go next?
Past the door, stand before me thirteen chairs
Thirteen Chairs
Will I make a sound, will I know the way?
What is it that I’ve found?
Listen to the ones, listen to the end
Blowing a candle out

8. RUNNING WITH ZOMBIES
Inspired by The Making Of Zombie Wars, by Aleksander Hemon.
Students for every word
Watch out, this one’s a verb
Well, you have to humour fate, and
Help her to conjugate
Leaning right down into her bed
Waving your sword around your head
We ought to be a little careful
Though I will never be
A man of great mystery
I’ve many stories
Lets run with the zombies
Launch the assault and my friend has bled
Though I intend not to loose my head
When you’re surrounded by undead
We ought to be a little careful
Caught me in the end

The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books and play them in bookshops. They started as a collaboration between a group
of musicians in Bath and their local independent bookshop, Mr B's Emporium. Now they are about to go on tour, sponsored by Vintage Books and Independent Booksellers Week, around other bookshops and lit fests. Catch them if you can. Details at www.thebookshopband.co.uk...more
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
