The Lion and the Unicorn - The Men They Couldn't Hang

Welcome friends from overseas

I'm your guide I aim to please

I know what you want from me

Sights and smiles and history

I'll take you down to the underground

That's where the spirit of the Blitz is found

Hear those sirens over your head

See that platform that's your bed

Who went mad who drowned in drink

Who's in a cage and who's extinct

Who ended up in a uniform

The lion and the unicorn

Here's the church there's the steeple

Open it up where are the people

Thinking up ways to take your dough

By deal or scheme or unseen blow

Now out to the shires where the towns are quaint

We spruced them up with a coat of paint

That white paint don't cover up dirt

Bandages don't cover up hurt

Who went mad who drowned in drink

Who's in a cage and who's extinct

Who ended up in a uniform

The lion and the unicorn

I'll tell you tales of kings and sailors

Puritans outlaws thieves and traitors

Show you round the land we made

Whisper something we betrayed

So where's the hope where's the reason

Poisoned by the years of treason

Where's the justice where's the grace

Disappeared without a trace

Who went mad who drowned in drink

Who's in a cage and who's extinct

Who ended up in a uniform

The lion and the unicorn

Who went mad who drowned in drink

Who's in a cage and who's extinct

Who ended up in a uniform

The lion and the unicorn
