The Anglo-Saxons
The Mountain Goats

*We'd like to dedicate this song to our
friends, the former inhabitants of the British Isles.*

they use to paint their bodies blue
a couple of them might be distantly related
to you
according to ceaser
they shaved their entire bodies
except for the upper lip and the head

yeah the anglo-saxons
yeah the anglo-saxons

a subliterate bunch of buys
but some sources say otherwise
yeah the anglo-saxons

yeah they were men on a mission
perserving their poetry
by and oral tradition
yeah an oral tradition is was all you get
untill st. agustine
brought them the alphabet

yeah the anglo-saxons
yeah the anglo-saxons
yeah in 1065
they were ragin'
till 1066 about the northern invasion
go!
