《The Battle Of Epping Forest(Remastered 2008)》歌词

[00:00:02] The Battle Of Epping Forest (2008 Digital Remaster) - Genesis

[00:01:13] Along the Forest Road there's hundreds of cars luxury cars

[00:01:19] Each has got its load of convertible bars

[00:01:24] Cutlery cars superscars

[00:01:28] For today is the day when they sort it out sort it out

[00:01:34] 'Cos they disagree on a gangland boundary

[00:01:40] They disagree on a gangland boundary

[00:01:47] There's Willy Wright and his boys

[00:01:49] One helluva noise that's Billy's boys

[00:01:53] With fully-fashioned mugs that's Little John's thugs

[00:01:57] The Barking Slugs - supersmugs

[00:02:01] For today is the day when they sort it out sort it out

[00:02:07] Yes these Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor

[00:02:14] East end heroes got to score in

[00:02:17] The Battle of Epping Forest

[00:02:20] Yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest

[00:02:23] Right outside your door

[00:02:30] You ain't seen nothing like it

[00:02:34] No you ain't seen nothing like it

[00:02:37] Not since the Civil War

[00:02:46] Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill

[00:02:48] And Johnny's lads stand very still

[00:02:52] With the thumpire's shout they all start to clout

[00:02:55] - there's no guns in this gentleman's bout

[00:02:59] Georgie moves in on the outside left

[00:03:02] With a chain flying round his head;

[00:03:06] And Harold Demure from Art Literature

[00:03:10] Nips up the nearest tree

[00:03:12] (Here come the cavalry )

[00:03:26] Amidst the battle roar

[00:03:29] Accountants keep the score: 10-4

[00:03:33] They've never been alone after getting a radiophone

[00:03:40] The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam real ham

[00:03:46] Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic

[00:03:53] Picnic picnic picnic

[00:04:16] It's 5-4 on William Wright;

[00:04:19] He made his pile on Derby night

[00:04:22] When Billy was a kid walking the streets

[00:04:27] The other kids hid so they did

[00:04:31] And now after working hard in security trade

[00:04:36] He's got it made

[00:04:37] The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid

[00:04:44] "I do my double show quick "

[00:04:47] Said Mick the Prick fresh out the nick

[00:04:50] "I sell cheap holiday The minute they leave

[00:04:55] Then a visit I pay and does it pay "

[00:04:59] And his friend Liquid Len by name

[00:05:03] Of Wine Women and Wandsworth fame

[00:05:05] Said "I'm breaking the legs of

[00:05:07] The bastard that got me framed "

[00:05:12] "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed "

[00:05:28] They called me the Reverend

[00:05:30] When I entered the Church unstained;

[00:05:37] My employers have changed

[00:05:39] But the name has remained

[00:05:45] It all began when I went on a tour

[00:05:47] Hoping to find some furniture

[00:05:50] I followed a sign it said "Beautiful Chest"

[00:05:52] It led to a lady who showed me her best

[00:05:54] She was taken by surprise when

[00:05:56] I quickly closed my eyes

[00:05:58] So she rang the bell and quick as hell

[00:06:02] Bob the Nob came out on his job

[00:06:06] To see what the trouble was

[00:06:13] "Louise is the Reverend hard to please "

[00:06:16] "You're telling me "

[00:06:18] "Perhaps sir if it's not too late

[00:06:20] We could interest you in our old

[00:06:22] Fashioned Staffordshire plate "

[00:06:25] "Oh no not me I'm a man of repute "

[00:06:34] But the Devil caught hold of my soul

[00:06:37] And a voice called out "Shoot "

[00:06:42] To save my steeple I visited people;

[00:06:44] For this I'd gone when I met Little John

[00:06:47] His name came I understood

[00:06:49] When the judge said "You're a robbing hood "

[00:06:55] He told me of his strange foundation

[00:06:59] Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation;

[00:07:03] He'd had to hide his reputation

[00:07:10] When poor 'twas salvation from door to door

[00:07:14] But now with a pin-up guru every week

[00:07:18] It's Love Peace and Truth Incorporated for all who seek

[00:07:22] He employed me as a

[00:07:24] Karma-ma-mechanic with overall charms

[00:07:31] His hands were then fit to receive receive alms

[00:07:47] That's why we're in

[00:07:48] The Battle of Epping Forest

[00:07:51] Yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest

[00:07:54] Right outside your door

[00:08:02] We guard your souls for peanuts

[00:08:06] And we guard your shops and houses

[00:08:09] For just a little more

[00:08:12] For just a little more

[00:08:17] In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher

[00:08:20] But he's countered on the right

[00:08:22] By Mick's chain-gang fight

[00:08:24] And Liquid Len with his smashed bottle men

[00:08:28] Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob

[00:08:31] With his kisser in a mess Bob seems under stress

[00:08:35] But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug;

[00:08:39] And Harold Demure who's still not quite sure

[00:08:42] Fires acorns from out of his sling

[00:08:45] (Here come the cavalry )

[00:08:59] Up up above the crowd

[00:09:02] Inside their Silver Cloud done proud

[00:09:06] The bold and brazen brass

[00:09:10] Seen darkly through the glass

[00:09:13] The butler's got jam on his Rolls;

[00:09:16] Roy doles out the lot

[00:09:19] With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic

[00:09:26] Picnic picnic picnic

[00:10:05] Along the Forest Road it's the end of the day

[00:10:09] And the Clouds roll away

[00:10:13] Each has got its load

[00:10:15] They'll come out for the count

[00:10:17] At the break-in of day

[00:10:19] When the limos return for their final review

[00:10:24] It's all thru'

[00:10:26] - all they can see is the morning goo

[00:10:29] "There's no-one left alive must be draw "

[00:10:39] So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score
