"Old Wive's Tale" lyrics

"Old Wive's Tale"

Strawberry fields and violet hills
The life is nice here
Respected all themes
Working all day in hillarious way
That's how we live together

The franklin's a friend
The nun's innocent
The summoner's mild
The parson is saint
The miller is always mills the best wheat
That's how we live together

We're sober not boozers
That's how we live together
We're sober not boozers
That's how we live together this life

The franklin's a fool but I really don't care
So I've fucken his daughter and his lady as well
The summoner's always just kickin my ass
That's how we live together
Pissin in the soup is our cook's philosophy
With this attitude mate, he's not in minority
The merchant doesn't turn any honest penny
That's how we live together

We're boozers not sober
That's how we live together
We're boozers not sober
That's how we live together this life

The parson gets some good wine before the mass
But it's not a big deal, the state is same in the mass
And after the show stuffing religious ass
That's how we live together
The pigsticker makes the best black pudding
But his mistery spice is his really sodding
The canon is naked and dancing all night
That's how we live together

Strawberry fields and violet hills
The life is rep here
And jested all themes
Drinking all day in sensual way
That's how we live together

The franklin's galoot
The nun's dissolute
The summoner's mild
The parson is brute
The miller is always mills for the weed
That's how we live together
