||: Hut on the wrock, a sea shanty comp
Three people are coming down the road :||
The first with hair so red
The second muggle-born
The third with a scar as the lightning
||: Hut on the wrock, a sea shanty comp
It will be released this May :||
It's not a submarine
And not a house of light
It's music from our houses so lonely
||: Hut on the wrock, a sea shanty comp
We're bringing our music together :||
Our Zoë rants and roars
And Kelly heard from Yass
And Totally Knuts they are compiling
||: Hut on the wrock, a sea shanty comp
Three storms they are rocking our world :||
The first it is a TERF
The second is a wolf
The third is for us to remember
||: Hut on the wrock, a sea shanty comp
Three are the things that we value :||
The first is to resist
The second is our friends
The third it is a weapon, our love

Refrain
O Rubeus, Rubeus
Where have you been?
Did you go to the mountain
To see kith and kin?
Did you do what you should?
Did you think you would fail?
O, Rubeus, Rubeus
Tell us your tale!
Verse 1
T’was Dumbledore sent me
He said I must go
To the mountains I travel
Through rain and through snow
To the land of the giants
To have a parle
Invite them to join us
Before it’s too late
(Refrain)
Verse 2
We came to the mountain
The giants were there
They were twenty feet tall
But we couldn’t look scared
We marched into camp
And we met with the Gurg
We gave him a gift
And we gave him our word
(Refrain)
Verse 3
The Gurg showed us favor
He treated us fair
We thought we had won
And we felt no despair
We woke on the morrow
To find he was dead
The Gurg lost his throne
When the Gurg lost his head
(Refrain)
Verse 4
The Death Eaters came
The new Gurg took their side
So we to the cave
Where we knew we must hide
We met the survivors
We called them our friends
Until the survivors
They all met their ends
(Refrain)
Verse 5
We knew we must go
And escape with our lives
But we learned that my mother
Was somebody’s wife
Til she went through the veil
Oh mother, oh mother
You left me behind
But you left me a brother!
(Refrain)

Listen close, to this here tale,
Of Cat, Rat and Dog,
Tarry not, you must prevail,
Over Cat, Rat, and Dog
Cloaked in stealth, the Golden three
Cat appears, for rat to flee
Dog takes Ron into the tree
Willows whip, heroes spar,
Magic only goes so far
‘Til the cat shows where they are
Something odd is going on,
With Cat, Rat and Dog,
Tarry not, your friend is gone,
Thank Cat, Rat, and Dog
Branches freeze, air goes stale,
Tunnel, then a house of wails
How will our heroes prevail?
Up the stairs, they hear a crack
They rush and hear, “It was a trap!”
A man steps out with eyes so Black
These animals, they have a plan,
Cat, Rat and Dog,
However Grim, he is a man,
Black is the dog.
“You will have, to go through us,”
Murder sworn, Black is rushed,
Crookshanks won’t let Black be touched.
Harry stills, wand gripped tight,
Will he end a life tonight?
Something doesn’t quite seem right.
Desperate and with much to fear,
Cat, Rat and Dog,
However there is more to hear,
Of Cat, Rat, and Dog.
Bursting in, to solve the case,
Lupin stares him in the face,
Then, a brotherly embrace.
Reunited is the pack,
Now there is no going back,
Scabbers ratted out by map.
Listen close, and listen fair,
To Cat, Rat, and Dog
Wolf appears and lays all bare,
The Rat is caught, you’re made aware,
Here is the truth, I solemnly swear,
Of Cat, Rat, and Dog

You may think that wizards are
All virtuous and wise,
But if you land on Azkaban,
You’ll find they’re telling lies.
The cells are stuffed with wizard folk
Of every rank and station,
But not a single person from
The righteous goblin nation.
Sailing on past Azkaban
Goblins never go there.
Sailing on past Azkaban,
Trade is very slow there.
If you try to bribe a guard,
Like everyone who enters,
You will find it very hard,
Because they’re all dementors.
As you sit there sorrowing,
Bereft of every pleasure,
Goblins will be borrowing
The best of all your treasure.
We’ll keep tight hold of all the gold
Of those the Auror catches.
So let’s get back to Gringotts now.
Batten down the hatches!
Look alive, you sailor folk!
Hoist the main and mizzen.
Let’s head back to London Town,
And speed on past this prison.
Sailing on past Azkaban;
Goblins never go there,
Because, as we have said before,
Trade is much too slow there.
Heigh, Ho! On we go!

Fearsome Castle Durmstrang
Home to students dark and strong
Fires lit on magic stone
Cold that chills ye’ to the bone
Unplottable to Muggle eyes
Dark Arts flourish, ostracized
Why is their castle so remote?
It can only be reached by f*ckin’ boat!
Durmstrang’s might cannot be beat
Our magic grim, our minds replete
Of victory in the tournament
Though Karkaroff sits so corpulent
But we remember glory days
When Grindelwald lead the way
Viktor will be number one
We’ll crush Hogwarts like so much scum!
Proud wizards of Castle Durmstrang
We all embrace Sturm und Drang
Ushanka hats and iron boots
We train in climes as Dark recluse
Sailing upon the open water
Subjugate, murder, and slaughter!
So drink tonight, but beware Potter
We stalk our quarry underwater.
Proud wizards of Castle Durmstrang

Farewell and adieu to you Beauxbatons ladies
Farewell and adieu, mesdames de Beauxbatons
For we must away as the games have all ended
But we will still write as our friendship goes on
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar
Like true Durmstrang wizards
We'll rant and we'll roar
All under the waves
Until we strike soundings in the fjord of our castle
From Hogwarts to Durmstrang in under a day
We dove our ship down with a set of enchantments
We dove our ship down into the Black Lake
Down forty-five fathoms 'til we nearly hit bottom
So we took out our wands and a portal did make
(Chorus)
The first portal took us to warm brackish water
The second, it took us to salt of the sea
The third was the last, for we sighted the shipwrecks
So we started to rise up into the night breeze
(Chorus)
Then the charms were all cast to allow us to enter
And into the grounds we finally sailed
Past mountains, through valleys, and up to the cliffside
Drop anchor and climb what before we abseiled
(Chorus)
Now let every wizard drink up his full bumper
Let each raise a glass of butterbeer rich
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy
And here's to the health of each good-hearted witch!
(Chorus)

Oh Harry’s gone to Hogwarts to be a Gryffindor,
Harry’s gone away to be a Gryffindor,
Yes Harry’s gone to Hogwarts to be a Gryffindor,
Harry’s gone away to be a Gryffindor
Pretty work wave wands, pretty work I say
Harry’s gone away to be a Gryffindor. x 2
Oh if I were a Hufflepuff and not a Gryffindor,
I’d have to wear a yellow hat and work my fingers raw.
Oh if I were a Ravenclaw and not a Gryffindor,
I’d be the smartest student there has ever been before,
Oh if I were a Slytherin and not a Gryffindor,
I’d sneak and cheat and steal so that I always got more

At Beauxbatons School, they teach ‘em right
Heave away, haul away
Them Beauxbatons Girls keep you up all night
And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
My Beauxbatons Girl don’t use no spell(s)
Heave away, haul away
(But) What she does, she does so well
And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
My ol’ father, he said to me
Heave away, haul away
Find a Beauxbatons Girl & away ye’ll be
And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
Beauxbatons Girls, they (all) dress the same
Heave away, haul away
But underneath you know they’re game
And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
Now don’t you fret if there’s two with you
Heave away, haul away

And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
It’s off to France we all must go
Heave away, haul away
When it’s time for more wild oats to sow
And we're bound away for the snogging
Heave ’er up me Hogwarts boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you play it coy
And we're bound away for the snogging
Yes we're bound away for the snogging

Down here in the crystal cave
Row Harry row
Do not touch the water’s wave
Row Harry row
We will use the hidden boat
Row Harry row
Magic forces make it float
Row Harry row
I’ll drink the potion, the locket we must take
Then we will flee the island in the lake
I’ll drink the potion, then out of here we’ll go
And destroy the horcrux, row Harry row
The potion tastes like Scottish malt
Row Harry row
Mixed with vinegar, kale and salt
Row Harry row
The worst drink that I ever had
Row Harry row
Morbid visions fill my head
Row Harry row
I’ll drink the potion, the locket we must take
Then we will flee the island in the lake
I’ll drink the potion, then out of here we’ll go
And destroy the horcrux, row Harry row
Sing with Captain Dumbledore
Row Harry row
We must safely reach the shore
Row Harry row
All good wizards are on board
Row Harry row
Traps were set by Voldemort
Row Harry row
I’ll drink the potion, the locket we must take
Then we will flee the island in the lake
I’ll drink the potion, then out of here we’ll go
And destroy the horcrux, row Harry row

They won’t teach us spells
They say do not fight
Do not be scared
We know what is right
They say we lie
We don’t really know
But harry saw the evil
He fought long ago
Chorus
We will do our part
Against the dark arts
We will not ignore
In the army of Dumbledore
In the army of Dumbledore
We will teach ourselves
In secret we will hide
We meet and train
In the dead of night
You can’t stop us now
We will overcome
Now we will show you
What must be done
Chorus
We will do our part
Against the dark arts
We will not ignore
In the army of Dumbledore
In the army of Dumbledore

Steal away, boys; haul the chain, boys
Swing her head round into the middle
Bears she forward elf and wizard
To the island in the cave
We’ve been chosen for an honour
Go along, now, with my master
Do his bidding, and when it’s over
You must come back home again
Golden locket - wicked object!
Tell me all that you remember
Lead me back to where he left you
On the island in the cave
Deathly still and cold the water
Black as oil and smooth as silver
Rotten hands and rotten timber
Gird the island in the cave
You shall wait, and I shall empty
Do we each our awful duty
As I drown, then you must leave me
By the island in the lake
Break his locket, speak not of it
From my mother keep our secret
Never tell her, come whatever,
Of the island in the cave

Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Our fine ship is the Circe, she’s sailed the wide world round,
Her home port is at Durmstrang, for Hogwarts we were bound!
Bearing, Krum our champion, revered in every land!
Karkaroff in his cabin, and Viktor was in command!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Viktor summoned the maelstrom, and down its depths we steered.
Though the waters engulfed us, in Hogwarts’ lake we appeared!
There victorious Viktor received his due acclaim,
When the Goblet of Fire produced his prominent name!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Autumn soon turned to winter, a lass turned Viktor’s head.
Over our ship the Circe, a flow of romance spread,
When a dueling disaster leaked potion in the lake,
Giant Squid surmounted our galleon by mistake.
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Viktor was framed as the villain who wrecked the final task,
Murder, mayhem, and magic, but Moody soon was unmasked.
Though they soon would be parted, Krum’s sweetheart vowed to write.
Karkaroff like a coward, slipped softly into the night!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Though Dark Arts we have studied, our hearts are ever true!
Speaking truth is our power, the Dark Lord soon will be through.
Our home port’s still at Durmstrang we sail the Circe on,
Seeking out ev’ry Dark Mark ‘til all his minions are gone.
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Watch the weather now, cast together now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Watch the weather, now, cast together, now, see the lubber-lads quail!
Shrouds a-shivering, timbers quivering, through Charybdis we sail!
Swish and flick, and watch your wrist, your incantations clear!
From the gunnel, watery funnel suddenly appear!
Winds blow! Heave ho! We go below!
Through the maelstrom now we go!

Magic, my nephew, it does not exist
I wish that these owls would cease and desist
Bringing you letters from this Hogwarts school
You’ll never get one, for I am no fool
(No fool, no fool, he is no fool
No fool, no fool, he is no fool)
Whispered:
(Get - to the hut - on the rock - on the sea
Get - to the hut - on the rock - on the sea)
We will go somewhere that they’ll never find
No, dear Petunia, I’m not out of my mind
I’ll buy a shotgun with shells just in case
We’re heading off somewhere, I know just the place
(The place, the place, he knows just the place
The place, the place, he knows just the place
His mind, his mind, he’s not out of his mind
His mind, his mind, he’s not out of his mind)
Whispered:
(Get - to the hut - on the rock - on the sea
Get - to the hut - on the rock - on the sea)
And here we are, would you just look at this
It’s out of the way, and easy to miss
I’d like to see someone try to find us here
For they will be looking for over a year
Hear the waves crashing up on the shore
All talk of this magic will be no more
We’ll sleep in this cabin, safe from the storm
I’ll try to light a fire to keep us all warm
(Here - in the hut - on the rock - on the sea
Here - in the hut - on the rock - on the sea)
A giant breaks down the door as he comes in
Even with my shotgun, I could not win
He says he’s here to take Harry away
Says he’s a wizard and they cannot stay
(Stay, stay, they cannot stay
Stay, stay, they cannot stay
Away, away, take Harry away
Away, away, take Harry away)
(Here - in the hut - on the rock - on the sea)

The moment I heard 'Forget the Girl' on a mix years ago, I fell in love, and I was so delighted to find more music by the same band. Avery's lyrics are a standout in the world of wizard rock, and I don't say this lightly. His grasp of characters and the heartfelt, poetic songwriting and delivery are second to none. I adore songs about canon relationships that give me new insights, and this album does that so well.
