lyrics

THE FALL OF GREAT BRITAIN

'The Philistines be upon thee!'

This is a warning to you all
This is the story of the fall
Of Great Britain
This is the story of the blow
Not yet smitten

The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold
Stood upon the bank and watched the battle unfold
Ran amongst the ranks like the heroes of old
Mystified the mind of his famous foe
The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold

This is a warning to you all
This is the story of the fall
Of Great Britain
This is the story of the foe
Not yet beaten

'The Philistines be upon thee!'

The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold
Saw history in the rolling of the passing clouds
relished the risk and laughed out loud
The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold
Felt his Fate unfold

'Give me one good plug!'

This is a warning to you all
This is the story of the blow
Not yet smitten
This is the story of the foe
not yet beaten

The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold
In iridescent livery
An effervescent reverie
Near robbed him of his sanity
The wearer of the suit of the cloth of gold
Felt his mind unfold

'My antediluvian nemesis!' he cried

about

Martin Bramah Manchester, UK

Originally singer for The Fall, before Mark E Smith realised he didn't know how to play guitar and so swapped with him, Martin Bramah is one of rock's great visionary presences - a master songwriter, influential musician and a unique talent.

Here he took an unusual turn, a stripped-down folk approach to songs, some of which he later remade with a full band.

A lost classic or urban folk.
