So getting in the spirit of sharing songs heres one written by some of our group
The Revolting Britons!
(By A. Roman)
Original Tune “American Pie, by Don Maclean. Arrangement Tanners Jack. Apologies to Don Maclean and Weird Al Yankovic.
A long, long time ago
In a place not far away, our land was under an attack.
And me, my mates and half the tribe,
Thought that maybe we could bribe, those Romans into cutting us some slack.
But their response it didn’t thrill us, they drew their swords and tried to kill us
Taxmen in the doorway, they took our livestock away.
I can’t remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride
Something touched us deep inside
The day Presutagus died.
(Chorus)
And we were singin’
Bye, bye ancient British type guy,
Soon you’ll getta test your metal against those big shiny guys
Bring your wife and kids to watch those Roman dudes die
Now were off to join the Iceni, off to join the Iceni.
Did you know this great King’s heir,
Is statuesque with long red hair, but she can use a sword they say.
And if you believe that our new Queen,
Is a Roman-killing mean-machine, then come and follow Boudicca today.
Well I know the chariot’s for show, but I know how fast those horses go.
It’s time now to get real, so lets show them British steel.
Well on Colchester we will advance, and the people there won’t stand a chance,
We’ll lead them all a merry dance,
This day, the Romans die
(Chorus)
Now London was the next big scene,
We went down there behind our Queen, we were set to sink some beers.
On a tourist cart we had to roam,
We went to Greenwich to see the Dome, they’ll never build it in 2000 years!
And as the Lord Mayor’s show went by, with slings and javelins we let fly.
We were pissed it’s true, we got into a scrap or two.
Well we hit ‘em fast and we hit ‘em hard, we hit ‘em while they changed the guard,
And they knew we had marked their card,
The day, the Romans died
(Chorus)
With Britons 2 and Romans nil,
We marched down dale and over hill, the news of our success it flew.
Well Suetonius was in Anglesey,
He made killing Druids look easy, and decided that a hat-trick wouldn’t do.
“Those hooligans will have to dieâ€ÂÂ
