Gun to the Head - The Good, The Bad & The Queen

Notice here by given

That spring guns and mantraps

To be placed on these premises

So don’t trespass over the line on the map

Commissioners for oaths

In the borough of Banbury

Require the owners of rowdy dogs

To keep them on their leads

We don’t care because we’re all animal lovers

We like to share our lives with them

Required of this song

Is a case for love

When everything else

That keeps us together conspiring to tear us apart

At the point where the sky and the earth touch

Is the head of the Unicorn

Nailed to the wheel in the middle of the town

Is the nightingale alone

Singing 'where have you put me

I gave no signed consent

I’d rather keep my place here

And put up with your rents'

Because the sun is soft

Like the narcotics sold in Boots

We don’t care because we’re all animal lovers

We like to share our lives with them

Required of this song

Is a case for love

When everything else

That keeps us together conspiring to tear us apart

Sleeping safe in your bed

A slow motion circular film

Inward looking

The realm of moles

Pressure-cooking in the home

No approvals in the out tray

Not one today

To the city no forever
