Lyrics The Court of King Arthur - Gruff Rhys

The Court of King Arthur

Creepy crawly, creeping up to the sun
Digging deeper, I hit on an ancient lump
Lift my spade up and dig a bit deeper
Must be careful with my magnetometer
Excavation takes a long time
First I survey then dig through the lime
So make some space now 'cause I’m digging for treasure
I’m digging deep for the court of King Arthur, Arthur
Hieroglyphics tell me you’re here somewhere
Been radio carbon dating for years and years
How I’ve missed you by just a few inches
Found your hand but you don’t pull no punches
I found my mummy, I found her in rags
Under pyramids, artifacts are calling me under
'Cause I’m digging for treasure
I’m digging deep for the court of King Arthur, Arthur
Round the table, so round the table
Found the table glistening in the sun
So help me out now 'cause I’m digging for treasure
I dug deep for the court of King Arthur
