The Ale House Braves |
| Take your fancy potions and your royal old wives |
| Tell the ale-house braves they better run for their lives |
| Have you seen the children with the blood on their hands? |
| Have you heard about the terror spreading through the land? |
| 'Cos the god you pray to sees the sinners and saints |
| But he doesn’t give a damn about the people he taints |
| See the hounds of Fleet Street in their tatters and rags |
| Selling false premonitions for a penny a bag |
| All the lords and ladies with their diamonds and pearls |
| Throwing stones in glass houses, not a care in the world |
| Take your fancy crystals and your fossilised bone |
| Tell the ale-house braves the devil’s gauntlet is thrown |
| Belly full of whiskey and a pocket full of rope |
| No fear in dying when you’ve lost your only hope |
| The searchers round on you before your final breath |
| Essence of life surrenders in the face of death |
| Adverse repulsion seems to drive you to the grave |
| No hearts on fire can persuade you to be saved |
| Blood-sucking leeches have grown bigger in the sun |
| The roses on the stone tell what you have become |
| Take your fancy potions and your royal old wives |
| Tell the ale-house braves they better pray for their lives |
