Sol Invictus Osman
[Verse 1]
One war, two wars
But the war that did for you
Was the class war, old boy
Manicured hands still rule
[Verse 2]
In no hope streets
Poverty eats desire
The stray dog returns to the coal hole
To lick his wounds and await the fire
[Verse 3]
The key that doesn't fit
The swimmer against the tide
The spider in the jar
The arrow in the eye
[Verse 4]
With blood and bluster
And body blows
Piss, teeth and sawdust
Down the Walworth road
[Verse 5]
You rose with the match girls
And with Suez you fell
Serenaded with shells
And black London hells
[Verse 6]
The world shakes and scatters
Blood, mud and rats
Your world shatters
Now it's just you and your cats
