[00:00.00]The Battle Of Epping Forest (Remastered 2008) - Genesis
[01:13.37]Along the Forest Road there's hundreds of cars luxury cars
[01:19.93]Each has got its load of convertible bars
[01:24.26]Cutlery cars superscars
[01:28.20]For today is the day when they sort it out sort it out
[01:34.18]'Cos they disagree on a gangland boundary
[01:40.55]They disagree on a gangland boundary
[01:47.08]There's Willy Wright and his boys
[01:49.62]One helluva noise that's Billy's boys
[01:53.17]With fully-fashioned mugs that's Little John's thugs
[01:57.68]The Barking Slugs - supersmugs
[02:01.60]For today is the day when they sort it out sort it out
[02:07.76]Yes these Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor
[02:14.23]East end heroes got to score in
[02:17.92]The Battle of Epping Forest
[02:20.20]Yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest
[02:23.26]Right outside your door
[02:30.56]You ain't seen nothing like it
[02:34.22]No you ain't seen nothing like it
[02:37.20]Not since the Civil War
[02:46.07]Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill
[02:48.95]And Johnny's lads stand very still
[02:52.33]With the thumpire's shout they all start to clout
[02:55.16]- there's no guns in this gentleman's bout
[02:59.52]Georgie moves in on the outside left
[03:02.48]With a chain flying round his head;
[03:06.48]And Harold Demure from Art Literature
[03:10.22]Nips up the nearest tree
[03:12.63](Here come the cavalry )
[03:26.07]Amidst the battle roar
[03:29.33]Accountants keep the score: 10-4
[03:33.84]They've never been alone after getting a radiophone
[03:40.76]The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam real ham
[03:46.88]Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic
[03:53.04]Picnic picnic picnic
[04:16.59]It's 5-4 on William Wright;
[04:19.18]He made his pile on Derby night
[04:22.75]When Billy was a kid walking the streets
[04:27.36]The other kids hid so they did
[04:31.48]And now after working hard in security trade
[04:36.40]He's got it made
[04:37.93]The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid
[04:44.72]"I do my double show quick"
[04:47.21]Said Mick the Prick fresh out the nick
[04:50.85]"I sell cheap holiday The minute they leave
[04:55.08]Then a visit I pay and does it pay"
[04:59.96]And his friend Liquid Len by name
[05:03.12]Of Wine Women and Wandsworth fame
[05:05.76]Said"I'm breaking the legs of
[05:07.53]The bastard that got me framed"
[05:12.16]"I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed"
[05:28.88]They called me the Reverend
[05:30.58]When I entered the Church unstained;
[05:37.15]My employers have changed
[05:39.17]But the name has remained
[05:45.94]It all began when I went on a tour
[05:47.80]Hoping to find some furniture
[05:50.10]I followed a sign it said"Beautiful Chest"
[05:52.48]It led to a lady who showed me her best
[05:54.37]She was taken by surprise when
[05:56.30]I quickly closed my eyes
[05:58.32]So she rang the bell and quick as hell
[06:02.65]Bob the Nob came out on his job
[06:06.25]To see what the trouble was
[06:13.18]"Louise is the Reverend hard to please"
[06:16.60]"You're telling me"
[06:18.11]"Perhaps sir if it's not too late
[06:20.49]We could interest you in our old
[06:22.05]Fashioned Staffordshire plate"
[06:25.95]"Oh no not me I'm a man of repute"
[06:34.34]But the Devil caught hold of my soul
[06:37.40]And a voice called out"Shoot"
[06:42.63]To save my steeple I visited people;
[06:44.75]For this I'd gone when I met Little John
[06:47.00]His name came I understood
[06:49.08]When the judge said"You're a robbing hood"
[06:55.41]He told me of his strange foundation
[06:59.66]Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation;
[07:03.38]He'd had to hide his reputation
[07:10.25]When poor 'twas salvation from door to door
[07:14.26]But now with a pin-up guru every week
[07:18.31]It's Love Peace and Truth Incorporated for all who seek
[07:22.71]He employed me as a
[07:24.12]Karma-ma-mechanic with overall charms
[07:31.35]His hands were then fit to receive receive alms
[07:47.36]That's why we're in
[07:48.86]The Battle of Epping Forest
[07:51.11]Yes it's the Battle of Epping Forest
[07:54.63]Right outside your door
[08:02.83]We guard your souls for peanuts
[08:06.02]And we guard your shops and houses
[08:09.01]For just a little more
[08:12.25]For just a little more
[08:17.44]In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher
[08:20.97]But he's countered on the right
[08:22.28]By Mick's chain-gang fight
[08:24.57]And Liquid Len with his smashed bottle men
[08:28.33]Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob
[08:31.84]With his kisser in a mess Bob seems under stress
[08:35.64]But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug;
[08:39.29]And Harold Demure who's still not quite sure
[08:42.85]Fires acorns from out of his sling
[08:45.97](Here come the cavalry )
[08:59.11]Up up above the crowd
[09:02.45]Inside their Silver Cloud done proud
[09:06.90]The bold and brazen brass
[09:10.24]Seen darkly through the glass
[09:13.75]The butler's got jam on his Rolls;
[09:16.51]Roy doles out the lot
[09:19.69]With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic
[09:26.04]Picnic picnic picnic
[10:05.20]Along the Forest Road it's the end of the day
[10:09.74]And the Clouds roll away
[10:13.01]Each has got its load
[10:15.99]They'll come out for the count
[10:17.42]At the break-in of day
[10:19.53]When the limos return for their final review
[10:24.55]It's all thru'
[10:26.02]- all they can see is the morning goo
[10:29.74]"There's no-one left alive must be draw"
[10:39.95]So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score
