Mary's
the kind of girl you should only touch with a barge pole if you can be sure
to strike her a glancing blow on the temple with it and cave in her skull.
England swings
to a pendulum screwed as the unentitled fight for the crown
It's time to decide which side you're on as the punters lay their money
down
Mari adulterous with naked sword the lion beat the count
Spent his mettle on the unicorn
So what have
you got to show for all your pain
What will you have to show for all your panic measures
Your missile strikes and counter plays
Six o'clock
and a shining moon we make our beds and we leave
By another reveille aroused again backs bent to the ploughs again
To the strange unbridled cruelty we practice to succeed
Or get knocked out in the second round again
Heads bowed to the ground again
So what have
you got to show for all your pain
What will you have to show for all your panic measures
Missile strikes and counter plays
Mary had an
army its fleece was black and green
With a faith as bright as its Armalite and sweet demeanour gleams
Mary had an army each face as white as snow
And everywhere the unrepentant Mary went her army had to go
Mary has an
army she tells them what to do
What the stakes are they're playing for
Who they're taking the blame for
That faith may be rewarded but favours misconstrued
As mistakes must be paid for for her sake to the grave for
Mary has an
army she tells them what to do
What the stakes are they're playing for
But she never tells them where she's going to
