The Brigadier - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

Up where we live we've[00:00:10]

Got everything[00:00:11]

We've got a cuckoo and[00:00:12]

A nightingale[00:00:13]

We've got a shop and[00:00:14]

Chapel and a boozer[00:00:15]

And a little jail[00:00:17]

We've got a brain-sick[00:00:19]

Witch and a cricket pitch[00:00:20]

We've got a pump and[00:00:21]

A duck pond here[00:00:22]

A vicar and a blacksmith[00:00:23]

And a local idiot[00:00:24]

And a brigadier a frigging brigadier[00:00:26]

Let the caravans come[00:00:32]

Let the charabancs roll[00:00:35]

Tripping our hills picking our daffodils[00:00:37]

Getting stuck in our holes[00:00:40]

We don't care[00:00:41]

We don't mind trippers[00:00:46]

And scouts and ramblers[00:00:47]

They can come and stand[00:00:49]

In the rain all day[00:00:50]

They give us money and beer[00:00:51]

And a right good belly laugh[00:00:52]

Then they go away[00:00:54]

But who pins medals on the chests of our children[00:00:55]

Who pins a rose on our biggest pig's ear[00:00:58]

Who pins a little red poppy[00:01:00]

On our cenotaph[00:01:01]

A brigadier a frigging brigadier[00:01:03]

Let the bearded wonders come[00:01:09]

Whether we like or not[00:01:12]

They squat in the cottages[00:01:14]

Of our ancestors[00:01:15]

Making bloody pottery we don't care[00:01:16]

We get drunk we get rowdy[00:01:23]

And we get nicked when[00:01:25]

The flatfeet come[00:01:27]

How are we judged[00:01:28]

By whose almighty[00:01:29]

Finger and thumb[00:01:31]

Not by bacchus's not by jupiter's[00:01:32]

Not by solomon's we're summonsed to appear[00:01:34]

Underneath the beak of[00:01:37]

His week-a-day worship[00:01:38]

A brigadier a frigging brigadier[00:01:39]

Let the rain-god come[00:01:46]

Spitter and spat and spout[00:01:48]

At least he's a god who is impartial[00:01:51]

He waggles it about we don't care[00:01:54]

On a sunday when the vicar[00:02:00]

Admonishes our wickedness[00:02:01]

Whose amen resounds down the aisle[00:02:02]

Who reads the sermon[00:02:04]

On the mount with a holy[00:02:05]

Ghost of a smile[00:02:07]

Who takes the wine who takes the biscuit[00:02:09]

Who brings the plate who bends the ear[00:02:11]

Singing of his hopes for a new jerusalem[00:02:14]

A brigadier a frigging brigadier[00:02:16]

Let god's pale archangel the Grim reaper come[00:02:23]

He can hack my bones he can step upon my gravestone[00:02:28]

He can kiss my bum I don't care[00:02:30]

If he wants my chimneys[00:02:37]

If he wants my acres[00:02:38]

If he wants my trout if he wants my grouse[00:02:39]

If he wants gold and silver titbits[00:02:41]

He's got the wrong house[00:02:44]

He can rattle my latch bang my knocker[00:02:45]

There's not one whit of a titbit here[00:02:48]

Go tap with his dainty sickle[00:02:50]

On the windowpane[00:02:52]

Of the brigadier[00:02:53]

The frigging brigadier[00:02:54]
