about

ABOUT
The British Museum has 140 Egyptian mummies and coffins under its roof. Guards hear strange noises and feel unexplained draughts at night, newspapers reported earlier this year. A caretaker talks to the mummies when she handles them – according to ancient Egyptian customs, it keeps them alive. What would the deceased inhabitants of the museum say if they could speak?

lyrics

LYRICS
Speak my name
Handle me
Treat me as a friend
That’s the way to trap a soul

The smell is sweet
It’s chemistry
Hold me in your cabinet
Until it is safe to go home

In the night, we sing our songs
In the hope that she will hear

There is life inside these bones

Oh, bone collector

Wrapped in linnen, filled with sand
Painted smiles on sad-eyed cats

In the night, we sing our songs
In the hope that she will hear

The collector stole these bones

Oh, bone collector

Flick the switch
And bolt the door
Go home, lie in bed
I’ll be waiting in your dreams
