Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm?

from Fort by Chris Harris

/

about

In which our hero investigates a quintessentially British mystery: the discovery of a woman's corpse hidden in a tree in Hagley Woods, in 1943.

lyrics

A life in wartime
of sudden death
Where did this woman
draw her last breath?

Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Why did she have to die?
Somebody knew the answer
But they weren't saying why

An undercover agent
heading for a fall?
We couldn't understand
The writing on the wall

Music halls and teachers, and passions of the heart
Or spies and entertainers - I don't know where to start

All these decades later
the story's just the same
We don't know where she came from
We still don't know her name

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
