about

Third track on this special compilation. Castles by Minnie Birch.
Minnie Birch is a treat, from Hemel Hempstead.
She is a regular visitor on BBC Three Counties and has been on Bobs Folk show.
She was chosen by Joan Armatrading to support her last year at a local date on her tour.
“Seriously, we cannot fault her voice.With her acoustic guitar as company, Minnie Birch gentle strums and finger-picks provide a shivering and solemn stage for her voice to take flight from. It’s highly melodic yet understated, but it all is executed perfectly” Commerical Free UK

Minnie is performing at Wilkestock on the Folkstock Stage on 31st August 2014.

lyrics

We leave you alone, to pick over the bones of an empire
As you self-implode, after nights spent un-weaving your own gold
And she is furious. She wanted to be your undoing
And she is furious. Because you always get there first.

Just look around, who knew they’d build castles here?
And just let it out that your princes fall for thimbles now.
And we are furious. We wanted to be your undoing.
And we are furious. Because you always get there first.

And I will work your fingers to the bone for this one
Because when morning comes you wont be able to guess
That if you set alight to one then they’ll just all burn.
I can promise.


Who knew they’d build castles here?
Who knew they’d build castles here?
You’ll watch your Princes fall for thimbles.
