Píseň: Commons brawel

Interpret:
Jethro Tull
Album:
Nightcap (2 cd)
All right and honorable gentlemen
And lady, too
Will kindly try to restrain themselves
In derringdo


As verbal hard graffiti flies
And echoes wall to wall
Our precious model of democracy
It's the House of Commons brawl


One member from some dark mill town
Furious did cry
Spittle froth from folded chin
To dim the lie


Let's serve this brief and list the rush
Of who's allowed catcalls
Let's finish this right here and now
At the House of Commons brawl


Kick, punch with the government
As with jackets off they fly heavenbent
Scratch gouge with the other side
As the party firmly admit a fight


Another day in the lives of those
Who would guide us through
If all is prepped that we should
By their example do
But there again I think for less
For gyving to the wall
The wrong house but the right idea
To end the Commons brawl
