The Battle Of Epping Forest
Taken from a news story concerning two rival gangs fighting over east-end protection rights.
Along the forest road, theres hundreds of cars - luxury cars.
Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars!
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
cos they disagree on a gangland boundary.
They disagree on a gangland boundary.
Theres willy wright and his boys -
One helluva noise, thats billys boys!
With fully-fashioned mugs, thats little johns thugs,
The barking slugs - supersmugs!
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
Yes these christian soldiers fight to protect the poor.
East end heroes got to score in...
The battle of epping forest,
Yes its the battle of epping forest,
Right outside your door.
You aint seen nothing like it.
No, you aint seen nothing like it,
Not since the civil war.
Coming over the hill are the boys of bill,
And johnnys lads stand very still.
With the thumpires shout, they all start to clout
- theres no guns in this gentlemans 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!)
Amidst the battle roar,
Accountants keep the score: 10-4.
Theyve 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.
Its 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!
And now, after working hard in security trade, hes got it made.
The shops that need aid are those that havent 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 Im breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed!
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.
