Red Castles

Maidens in towers and knights on the Town shields up convinced that The barricade's down fighting in bars They were biting the cars Two aches in the head H20 in the wine two hit's off The mirror to help you unwind You learned how to drink you'll Turn now to a shrink And he'll say that you are king of The castle your glory excels in Here blood on the bypass you're passing The pills they're painted and plastic They make you feel ill they make you kick In the night you're sick in the light A tramp chews a dog-end a dog chews a tramp Tears holes in his raincoat and howls Because it's damp he chokes on a coin And we count up to nine ah, but He's king in his castle his glory excels in Here pagans in showers and kites on The Downs polka dot patterns And strings turning Brown they shut out the sun oh Wot jolly fun! But we're kings in our castles
