Lyrics: Mountain Goats, The. The Anglo-Saxons.

*We'd like to dedicate this song to our

friends, the former inhabitants of the British Isles.*



they use to paint their bodies blue

a couple of them might be distantly related

to you

according to ceaser

they shaved their entire bodies

except for the upper lip and the head



yeah the anglo-saxons

yeah the anglo-saxons



a subliterate bunch of buys

but some sources say otherwise

yeah the anglo-saxons



yeah they were men on a mission

perserving their poetry

by and oral tradition

yeah an oral tradition is was all you get

untill st. agustine

brought them the alphabet



yeah the anglo-saxons

yeah the anglo-saxons

yeah in 1065

they were ragin'

till 1066 about the northern invasion

go!
