Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, 'cause they disagree on a gangland boundary. Yes, they disagree on a gangland boundary. There's Willy Wright and his boys - One helluva noise, that's Billy's boys! With fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, The Barking Slugs - supersmugs! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, These Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor. East end heroes got to score in... The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. You ain't seen nothing like it. No, you ain't seen nothing like it, Not since the Civil War. Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill, And Johnny's lads stand very still. With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout - there's no guns in this gentleman's bout. Georgie moves in on the outside left With a chain flying round his head; And Harold Demure, from Art Literature, Nips up the nearest tree. (Here come the cavalry!) Admidst the battle roar, Accountants keep the score: 10-4. They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone. The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham, Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic. It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night. When Billy was a kid, walking the streets, The other kids hid - so they did! Now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made. The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid. "I do my double-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick. "I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave, Then a visit I pay - and does it pay!" And his friend, Liquid Len by name, Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame, Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framded!" They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained; My employers have changed but the name has remained. It all began when I went on a tour, Hoping to find some furniture. I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest". It led to a lady who showed me her best. She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes. So she rang the bell, and quick as hell Bob the Nob came out on his job To see what the trouble was. "Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?" "You're telling me!" "Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late. We could interest you in our Staffordshire plate?" "Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute." But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!" To save my steeple, I visited people; For this I'd gone when I met Little John. His name came, I understood, When the judge said "You're a robbing hood." He told me of his strange foundation, Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation; He'd had to hide his reputation. When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door. But now, with a pin-up guru every week, It's Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek. He employed me as a karmacanic, with overall charms. His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms. That's why we're in The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. We guard your souls for peanuts, And we guard your shops and houses For just a little more. In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher, But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight, And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men, Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob. With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress, But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug; And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure, Fires acorns from out of his sling. (Here come the cavalry!) Up, up above the crowd, Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud, The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass. The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot, With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic. Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day And the Clouds roll away. Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count At the break-in of day. When the limos return for their final review, it's all through' - all they can see is the morning goo. "There's no-one left alive - must be draw." So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you In the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remembered a voice from the past; "Gambling only plays when you're winning" I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them moving blades sharp. I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower you can tell me by the way I walk. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So guess where this record was back in about 1998? A filler at the end of it is one my favorite parts of the LP. Not complex. Just filler. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Loved these guys back when Leon was still circulating on the airwaves. Days at the river, sunburned, burgers on the grill, Bud in my belly, a babe waitin' and this blasting all over the inlet from those big Advent speakers. This was the first record of theirs that I'd heard. RIP Ronnie H 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Got a real gem for y'all tonight easy going and an exceptionally recorded half speed record of two pickers just a grinning: Open it at youtube and look at the list of musicians on this one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of a Preacher Man, heck of a source for material, and timing was perfect! I can taste the gear setup now, 99% moved finally Takes so much to deal with 66 years in one place, plus my stuff as well for the last 10 years. So it is boxes everywhere!!!!!! Now to deal with the stuff, what can go what has to be saved/stored, then I can go get my gear!! and Vinyl not newly acquired 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
