The Anglo-Saxons
guitar chords lyrics
john: "we'd like to dedicate this song to our friends, the former
inhabitants of the british isles!"
they used to paint their bodies blue
a couple of them might be distantly related to you.
according to ceasar they shaved their entire bodies,
except for the upper lip and the head
yeah, the anglo-saxons
yeah, the anglo-saxons
a sub-literate bunch of guys,
though some sources say otherwise.
yeah, the anglo-saxons
yeah, they were men on a mission,
preserving their poetry by oral tradition
yeah, oral tradition is all you get
until saint augustine brought in the alphabet.
preserving their poetry by oral tradition
yeah, oral tradition is all you get
until saint augustine brought in the alphabet.
yeah, the anglo-saxons
yeah, the anglo-saxons,
in 1065 they were ragin'
but 1066 brought the norman invasion.
yeah, the anglo-saxons
go!
