about

It's about a pub moot - but you could probably work that out

lyrics

In the cool of the evening they used to gather
In anyt old tavern that would sell a decent beer
At the times appointed by the pay check, or by the giro
Or, for some, by their mum.
And left of centre often stood an arsehole
Spouting total bollocks for anyone to hear
The drinking times. Of the drinking pagans
Celebrating love and life. But mostly drinking beer

Ginger, Scary, Sporty,Posh and of course – Bob Cat

There were those who came to power to suit their ego
And those who appeared on the television who thought they knew the lot
And those, who at Stonehenge, greeted up the sun
And those who walked in the woodland and worked with what they got.
And there were those who sought to worship, ‘cos it made them look groovy
And those who sought to worship by knowing lots of spells
And those who sought to celebrate love, life and laughter
By dancing and by singing.
Oh yes, and by drinking beer as well

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps please.
Come on. Come on
Hurry up Gandalf. Come on
We’re going down the tavern
We’re going down the grove

Now the Earth, she is a witch. And you know what – that’s a very fine thing to be if that’s the way you are inclined
Sometimes she’s a Druid, a shaman, many other things as well.
She likes wine libations. They help to paty.
So bearing this in mind, libate tortilla chips as well.
Times move on. And so do the drinking pagans
Celebrating love and life with laughter and good cheer
I wish you success. I wish you much happiness
But most of all I wish you would go and get me a bloody beer.

Goddess chant
