The Rape of Lucretia

歌詞

(TARQUINIUS) - O Dr Faust I've got a pain Where I sit on the throne Where an Englishman's home is his kingdom (FAUST) - Mr Tarquinius of Romford You've got blue blood on the brain But I know a Roman sanatorium Where they'll cure you with a story From 2500 years ago: The Rape of Lucretia (TARQUINIUS) - O Dr Faust Abroad I shall not go The past, so they say, is a foreign country And abroad equally (FAUST) - Mr Tarquinius of Romford Since you stubbornly insist I'll administer the history of democracy Beginning when a woman was done by the son of the king: The Rape of Lucretia Romulus and Remus Orphans of the forest Grow to their majority Throw up their hands in horror The democratic gesture When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should he Singing "We who are about to die salute thee!" The Rape of Lucretia (TARQUINIUS) - O Dr Faust I should've guessed That a doctor named after the self-confessed lover Of Mephistopheles would say "Take two of these after meals" And mean leeches - for all your fine speeches Your anthem is "Where the beast sucks there suck I" (FAUST) - Mr Tarquinius of Romford You may set your mind at rest My soul's not with the devil but the NHS And although I am loathe to I've taken an oath to Cure people like you who think SPQR stands for "Sense Prevents the Queen's Removal" The Rape of Lucretia Romulus and Remus Orphans of the forest Grow to their majority Throw up their hands in horror The democratic gesture When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should he Singing "We who are about to die salute thee!" The Rape of Lucretia Romulus and Remus May your example lead us Your brotherhood and merit be our guiding force You ushered in democracy, you understood that monarchy Stands by incest, falls by sexual intercourse We'll be singing: "We who are about to die salute thee!"
