Songs from Blue Floyd

(Blue Floyd is the name we picked up for doing the Celtic / Pictish remake
filk of The Wall. I'm the only one silly enough to actually claim
to have written these, though we all helped.)

And now, the songs:

Another Pict On the Wall (Part 1)
Legions sailed across the channel
Came to conquer, not to reason
Spear - and pikemen on my cennae
Romans, who else will you bring for me ?
Romans, who else will you bring for me ?
All in all, I'm just another Pict on the wall.
All in all, we are all just Picts on the wall.

The Happiest Days of Our Lives

In a new reality, We were quite heroic, we
Would kill the Romans any way we could.
By shooting them with arrows, And chopping them to bits.
We scaled Hadrian's Wall,
Quite overrunning it with painted Picts.
And when we pushed them back to Rome, We had them overwhelmed
We slayed them to the last man
Burned their `Eternal City' to the ground.

Another Pict in the Wall(Part 2)
We don't need no Pax Romana
We don't need no troops in Gaul
No harsh taxation in the Castra
Caesar! Leave them Celts alone!
Hey! Caesar! Leave them Celts alone!
All in all, I'm just another Pict on the wall.
All in all, we are all just Picts on the wall.
We don't need no Pax Romana
We don't need no troops in Gaul
No harsh taxation in the Castra
Caesar! Leave them Celts alone!
All in all, I'm just another Pict on the wall.
All in all, we are all just Picts on the wall.

(out to the random interlaced voices)

No, guess again.
If you don't eat your deerburger, you can't have any venison.
How can you have any venison if you won't eat your deerburger?
You! Yes, you behind the shield wall! Stand still, laddie!

Another Pict On the Wall(Part 3)
I don't need no shield to guard me
I don't need no woad to numb me
You can see I've made my Frenzy roll
Think I'll slay the Romans, one and all!
Rahr! Think I'll slay the Romans, one and all!
All in all, we are all just Picts on the Wall.
All in all, we are all just Picts on the Wall.

Comfortably Numb

Hello
Are there any warriors here?
That's good, we want an army
To stop legions from Rome

Come on, now
I know they've got steel
But I can ease the pain
And give your sword arm its free rein

Hold still
I'll paint a little zoomorph
Some heroic dots
Spirals at other spots

There is no pain
You are euphoric
Painted blue and 'dressed to kill'
You are poised and ready for a fight
When legions fall you'll know you're in the right

Romans stare, and lose their concentration
It's tough to fight against stark naked men
Woad will make us victors once again,
I can't explain, you would not understand
Blue anesthetic pen
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb

Look here
That swordsman went a bit far
The cut will heal clean
But it may leave a little scar
Can you stand up
I do believe it's working good
That'll keep you going for today
Come on, it's time to slay

There is no pain
You are euphoric
Painted blue and 'dressed to kill'
You are poised and ready for a fight
When legions fall you'll know you' re in the right

When I played Dark Beer, I caught a rosy glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
Or tell what's real and what's for fun
I have become comfortably numb.

There is no pain
You are euphoric
Painted blue and 'dressed to kill'
You are poised and ready for a fight
When legions fall you'll know you're in the right

When I played Dark Beer, I caught a rosy glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
Or tell what's real and what's for fun
I have become comfortably numb.
