Knight Of The Realm

from Knight Of The Realm EP by Laurie Shaw

lyrics

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
Am I a knight of....?
Am I a knight of....?
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
Black out the coastal towns
They're coming for our shit jobs
Am I a knight of....?
Am I a knight of....?
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 top hats rising up
