Songtext von Fie on Goodness

CHORUS Fie on goodness, fie Fie on goodness, fie Eight years of kindness to your neighbor Making sure that the meek are treated well Eight years of philanthropic labor Derry down dell Damn, but it's hell Oh, fie on goodness, fie Fie, fie, fie It's been depressing all the way (derry down, derry down) And getting glummer every day (derry down, derry down) KNIGHT 1 Ah, but to burn a little town or slay a dozen men Anything to laugh again ALL Oh, fie on goodness, fie Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie KNIGHT 1 When I think of the rollicking pleasures that earlier filled my life Lolly lo, lolly lo Like the time I beheaded a man who was beating his naked wife ALL Lolly lo, lolly lo KNIGHT 1 I can still hear his widow say Never moving from where she lay "Tell me what can I do, I beg, sir, of you Your kindness to repay" ALL Fie on goodness, fie Fie on goodness, fie KNIGHT 2 Lechery and vice have been arrested KNIGHT 3 Arrested! KNIGHT 2 Not a maiden is evermore in threat Virgins may wander unmolested KNIGHT 4 Unmolested! ALL Lolly lo let Gad, it's a sweat Oh, fie on goodness, fie Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie KNIGHT 5 How we roared and brawled in Scotland Not a law was e'er obeyed And when wooing called in Scotland We'd grab any pasing maid Ah, my heart is still in Scotland Where the lasses woo the best On some bonny hill in Scotland Stroking someone's bonny... CHORUS Fie on Scotland, fie Fie on Scotland, fie No one repents for any sin now Every soul is immaculate and trim SOME KNIGHTS Immaculate! CHORUS No one is covered with chagrin now Lolly lo lim Gad, but it's grim Oh, fie on goodness, fie Fie, fie, fie There's not a folly to deplore Derry down, derry down Confession Sunday is a bore Derry down, derry down KNIGHT 1 Ah, but to spend a tortured evening staring at the floor Guilty and alive once more CHORUS Oh, fie on virtue, fie Fie on mercy, fie Fie on justice Fie on goodness Fie, fie, fie, fie, fie
