A Thousand Years Ago

More than a thousand years ago
Late of the Pier took to the stage
It was soon the talk of every tavern in the city
They proved to have an exceptional talent
The huge following
Like a film star of today
And there was a much more recent sighting in Barth in 1988
Not to mention that some of the reports talk about object being thrown about the stage
It's difficult to see Late of the Pier
In fact, it's so difficult
Sometimes your brain panics and you get the feeling of suffocation
But it gets stranger still
Mr. Clay who lived quite close to Salisbury reported
Late of the Pier seemed to be threatening me with some implement
At this point, Mr. Clay realized
He was looking at a band long dead
Well gentlemen, I'm going home
It appears that his lordship has called in his hounds
