The Legendary Pink Dots - The Red and the Black lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - The Red and the Black lyrics]
Reflecting on the Empire after eight
Pig's head on a plate
White wine the mint imperials circulated
Captain sips his brandy curses Ghandi
Dreams Napoleon and Delhi turns
To jelly Bombay ducks
Calcutta shivers down in it's
Hole old England is out to rule the waves
Again - banging on the table! Routing the
Reds and the browns and the
Yellows black sky the missles blast home!
(It's half for me, half for my company)
My union's name is Jack
And it's a ripper! hammers her head with a
Sickle, nails monkey to the tree the lasers
They beam from the stars and
Moscow is charred peking is
Leaking tripoli's stripped (ha! ha)
Mohammed, he flees from his mountain
Counting the corpses in the stadiums
With his shades on cos the white
Light hurts his eyes and Captain, he
Cries, Captain, he screams
Falls out of bed it's only a dream
Nightnurse wipes his forehead
Whispers "try to sleep back to sleep"
Pig's head on a plate
White wine the mint imperials circulated
Captain sips his brandy curses Ghandi
Dreams Napoleon and Delhi turns
To jelly Bombay ducks
Calcutta shivers down in it's
Hole old England is out to rule the waves
Again - banging on the table! Routing the
Reds and the browns and the
Yellows black sky the missles blast home!
(It's half for me, half for my company)
My union's name is Jack
And it's a ripper! hammers her head with a
Sickle, nails monkey to the tree the lasers
They beam from the stars and
Moscow is charred peking is
Leaking tripoli's stripped (ha! ha)
Mohammed, he flees from his mountain
Counting the corpses in the stadiums
With his shades on cos the white
Light hurts his eyes and Captain, he
Cries, Captain, he screams
Falls out of bed it's only a dream
Nightnurse wipes his forehead
Whispers "try to sleep back to sleep"
