Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sing yeah
It's a long long time ago
It was a strange story
A girl loved a boy
But here you have to know
When a witch loves
She looses her magic
One cold evenig at home
The boy found her broom
And lies flew away
And then she looked at him
And was filled with magic
She said to him
Whilst regaining her magic

This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
In the wood, in the sea and the moon's got it, yeah
This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
Shimmering and glimmering is what I am

And Miss Elliot with that
Really ugly Tweed Jumper
And those striking red shoes
They're a witness of times long ago
Close your eyes and see
That she's beautiful
But it's not the way you thought
Take care of the secrets
Old witches told

I'm not doubtful about you
I tie knots in my shoe laces
Let me sleep in your arms
We're at home where we're loved

This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
In the wood, in the sea and the moon's got it, yeah
This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
It will make you loose if you think about shoes

This is witchcraft.
This is witchcraft.

Yes,
This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
In the wood, in the sea and the moon's got it, yeah
This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
Shimmering and glimmering is what I am

This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
In the wood, in the sea and the moon's got it, yeah
This is witchcraft babe and it is everywhere
It will make you loose if you think about shoes

This is witchcraft, babe.
This is witchcraft.
This is witchcraft.

This is witchcraft, babe.
This is witchcraft.
This is witchcraft.





This is witchcraft.
This is witchcraft.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wonderwall's song Witchcraft tell the story of a witch who falls in love with a boy. However, when she falls in love, she loses her magic. One evening, the boy finds her broomstick and flies away, causing the witch to regain her magic. She then tells the boy that love is witchcraft and it is everywhere, in the woods, in the sea, and in the shimmering and glimmering magic of the moon. The song is filled with imagery and metaphors about witchcraft and the power of love.


The lyrics also mention Miss Elliot, who is wearing a really ugly Tweed jumper and striking red shoes that are witness to times long ago. The witch encourages the listener to close their eyes and see the beauty in things that may not be as they seem. She also tells the boy to take care of the secrets that old witches told.


The overall message of the song is that love is magical and powerful, but it can also be dangerous if you don't take care. The song is a mix of folk, rock, and psychedelic influences, with a haunting melody that adds to the mystical feeling of the lyrics.
