Right by Conquest

From Blueberry Boat

Lyrics

If you wish to wait until dusk, I respect your policy
But by all means, my liege, lay siege, lay siege, or whatever else you might want to call it
We will only be restoring to the rightful from before the migrations of the peoples, you could put it,
Or, and I’d prefer, Right by Conquest
Are the defenses, then, to be let down tonight?
Yes, maybe, or not quite?

Just a rickety old stockade, I heard,
Half diorama plaster and half recovered water-damaged sheet-rock
In which is interred...
It’s all that stands in your way, if 'stands' is the right word
What will you do?

Carried off to decorate your bordello!
The person who told me believes that the guard, though formerly in the service of Duchess of Kent, is an Italian Greyhound bitch that loves thieves
So you might sing,

"Well, Rebecca get your basket, let’s go down to the wood, you might not pick any berries, but you’ll come back feeling good"

[Alright!]

If you wish to wait until dusk, I respect your policy
By but all means, my liege, lay siege, lay siege, or whatever else you might want to call it
We will only be restoring to the rightful from before the migration of the peoples, you could put it,
Or, and I’d prefer, Right by Conquest
Are the defenses, then, to be let down tonight?
Yes, maybe, or not quite?

Will you quench these blushes of mine by present practice?
Will you, being invited, crack this glass?
Here’s poison and here’s gold
Quick, children! Before you get old!

"Well, Rebecca get your basket, let’s go down to the wood, you might not pick any berries, but you’ll come back feeling good
Well, Rebecca get your basket, let’s go down to the wood, you might not pick any berries, but you’ll come back feeling good"
