Knight Of The Realm
As the lark ascends
Long shadows on pagan displays of stone
A trailing green coat
And a pocketbook of patriotic quotes
We can muddy their coasts with chip fat, sure!
This is what our forefathers fought for
Living on the world above, sipping builders tea
Out of St. George's mugs
Don't let them up
Like a drop in the ocean, they'll drop
Black out the coastal towns
They're coming for our shit jobs
(The realm)
(The realm)
(Of the realm)
(The realm)
Am I a knight of the realm?
Am I a knight of the realm?
Do you remember those golden years?
Heavy shelling and air raids ringing
You'd swallow hard on the fear
And let it eat at you from the inside
Hide your kids, Uncle Cronos is coming
He's keeper of the vellum codex
Football sticker book sacred
Don't let them up
Like a drop in the ocean, they'll drop, drop, drop
Black out the coastal towns
They're coming for our shit jobs
(Am I a knight of?)
Down of the splitting hills
(Am I a knight of?)
Up to the moving mills
(Am I a knight of?)
Swallow the bitterest pill of them all
(Am I a knight of the realm?)
Am I a knight of the realm?
(The realm)
Am I a knight of the realm?
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Stiff upper lip sol, selling like hot cakes
Living on the burial ground
Of some ancient giants
With the lampposts and the tophats rising
Oh
