the mountain goats – the anglo-saxons lyrics
[intro]
we’d like to dedicate this song to our friends, the former
inhabitants of the british isles!
[verse 1]
they used to paint their bodies blue
a couple of them might be distantly related to you
according to caesar, they shaved their entire bodies
except for the upper lip and the head
[chorus 1]
yeah, the anglo-saxons
yeah, the anglo-saxons
a sub-literate bunch of guys
though some sources say otherwise
yeah, the anglo-saxons
[verse 2]
yeah, they were men on a mission
preserving their poetry by oral tradition
yeah, oral tradition is all you get
until saint augustine brought in the alphabet
[chorus 2]
yeah, the anglo-saxons
yeah, the anglo-saxons
in 1065 they were ragin’
but 1066 brought the norman invasion
yeah, the anglo-saxons
[outro]
go!
