O the big ol' sky is larger than our laughter and our tears Our inheritance forever never mind our fleeting years Soon we Die Soon We Die Tumbling now down the mountainside

A Knight of Old My Courage Bold

We was engirdled by fine fields of corn, encircled by crop circles Back in days of plenty sweets sold by the quarter pound!

Old King B 06:12
Old Bryan he had a voluminous beard It covered his chops so his face was afear'd He kept shire horses and snarling dogs His daughter was buxom and she wore farmer's togs His expressions were rustic, his head bore an egg As we danced on his tables and drank from his keg Our behaviour most foolish his tolerance great Smashed glasses accrued for the hour was late! When far too early Old Bryan calls time On our fun and our frolics, Wotsit challenge sublime I drank the last ashtray,fell into the night And speared on his mantrap got given a fright! Now I'm riven to pieces, displayed in a case, With a polecat and ferret, glass eyes in my face As I gaze glassy-eyed the confines of the pub Hold dingy antiquities but improbably snug If I was still there now O what horrors I'd see Old Bryan's last farm show, he now rests in peace? His pub gastronomic, his clientele posh Replacing bread pudding is butternut squash His fireplace now holds flowers, his banter is gone Repartee now in vogue where his bald pate once shone The old muddy boots swapped for poncy new shoes So its out with the old and its in with the new But some say his ghost is still roaming around as he rattles his mantraps an egg on his crown, That clever French Cuisine all sullied and spoiled With his foul Saxon Curses and old Tractor Oil !! Old King B, we'll drink a last toast to ye!!

Bring Burning Bowls of Burnished Brass Bring Wine in Slender Goblets

The tender taste of your tiny toes Your looks seduce me, your crown it surrounds me Your looks reduce me to a clown around you Hustle and Bustle under covers we tussle Your love is the bridge that leads me to you (Lyrics contributed to by Jacqui)
10.
This is my moustache that you deign to impugn You sir are a varlet, a fool., a buffoon Your moustache a silken effeminate wisp No ladies shall stroke it - they'll think you amiss! Mine on the other hand betokens great wealth The ladies all stroke it with vigorous strokes Not called into question my virile health When my whole jaw and mandible's a whiskery cloak When one is peckish, you sir I'll amaze By producing a pie from my stubbly haze Than while you eat it my act I'll embellish I'll produce from my moustache some gentleman's relish I'll top it all and your praise I'll invoke When I delve in my 'tache for a packet of smokes My moustache capacious while your's just a joke Oh please shave it off sir - you resemble a goat !!

about

Mark Bosley and I have played together for 10 years and I thought the tracks on which he had played bass and mandolin and I had subsequently ruined with my vocal as well as the tracks which master-drummer and cool character Nick Clack from THE MISSING PERSIANS had played on and also Graham Barlow from BEARD OF DESTINY with his ace Kahon playing (the only word in existence I cannot spell!) should be resurrected (not Graham - the songs of course) along with some newer stuff I had knocking around on my portastudio..
