The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Lion and the Unicorn lyrics

Welcome friends from overseas I'm your guide I aim to please I know what you want from me Sights and smiles and history I'll take you down to the Underground Tha's where the spirit of the Blitz is found Hear those sirens over your head? See that platform, thats your bed (Chorus) Who went mad, who drowned in drink? Who's in a cage and who's extinct? Who ended up in a uniform? The Lion and The Unicorn Here's the church there's the steeple Open it up where are the people? Thinking up ways to take your dough By deal or scheme or unseen blow Now out to the shires where the towns are quaint We spruced them up with a coat of paint That white paint don't cover up dirt Bandages don't cover up hurt (Chorus) I'll tell you tales of kings and sailors Puritans, outlaws, thieves and traitors Show you round the land we made Whisper something we betrayed So where's the hope, where's the reason? Poisoned by the years of treason Where's the justice where's the grace? Disappeared without a trace (Chorus X2)
