lyrics

Now coalescing amalgamations into a single shirebred savant
Flung back before

Gravity lensing, yeomen yelling, prayers rewritten around the wisdom of her blorbos

Costard fritters fried in triptorelin
Let the mesne lords actualise some glamour
Femme Will Sommers soars beyond her station
Teach mercantilism some manners

Is this not the lifeline of your dreaming?
(dream/dream/dream/dream/dream)
Suffer not this regime of aggrieving
Look who’s won a timeline to believe in

Hark! and the tally sticks mount
Syon Park rings true with glees from another age
All are accepted, none are rejected
And none will bear scars
From devices beyond God’s design

Grift and grind have no cause to continue
Once girl dictums privilege pleasure
Love enshrined by her sapphic retinue
She will rule this island forever

…

Some say a stitch in time will stoke success
Some say long jaunts will help relay this last request
Leave us alone

But I’ve walked the old trading roads with their crumbling pavements
And I’ve passed the boarded-up shops with their foregone payments
And I’ve glimpsed the illmongers’ heads with their famous hair
And I’ve searched so far for their hearts but there’s nothing there

Some say this bedrock might be gone by dawn
Some say this rose was impaled by its own thorn
So long ago

So a bravo if you’re still here trying to survive
There are selions left in this land where the fear won’t thrive
And a bravo if you’ll make sure weaker grips won’t slip
There is time to patch up the hull of the sinking ship

This is not a timeline I believe in
Not while purple parasites are leeching
In the name of all the hope you’ve shattered
I want all your severed heads on platters
