Toasters History Book (live)
Here I stand on the deck of my ship on the Spanish main
I've got a charter in my cabin, signed and sealed by
the King of Spain
That his stardard be unfurled past the edge of the
world
I dare not go back again
History will be kind and bear me in mind
Will you remember my name?

Let's take a look
At my history book
South Devon pirates buccanneers on the Panama coast
With a cargo of potatoes and indian princes
But what they want the most
Is to fill that hold with spanish gold
And make proud their boast
That England will smile on their piracy while
They drink Elisabeth's toast

Arab traders fly their weapons on the Africa shore
And hapless victums bound in chains on the galleon
floor
That their blood may be spilled in the land of Brazil
And they'll see their homes forlorn
History will be cruel as it uses this tool
To shame the new world more
