about

Imagine King Charles' surprise when he discovered that in actual fact, they jolly well could!

lyrics

Carisbrooke's bolted and locked from within His Majesty's ill at ease
Closeted with his advisors
Stir up the land with the root and the branch if His Majesty is displeased
We'll put him before the assizes
He's never been here before my Lord
Silence in court

Bind their Kings in chains
Teach them a lesson they shan't forget
Shall the house abstain
Or will the elderly gentlemen settle the debt
While the court adjourns
You can drink me under the table
Bind their Kings in chains

The blood on the hands of the man in the chair is plain for all to see
And it's mingling with his saliva
Humbly petition the clerk of the court to take acknowledgement please
Of the prisoner's arrival
He's never been here before my Lord
Silence in court

My heart was a lion an army I stand over seventy thousand strong
I am ready unwilling but able
But my heart wasn't trying I followed the script and the words all came out wrong
And I crawled under the table
I'd never been there before my Lord
Silence in court
