Fortress/Deer Park

Lyrics

Two hours!
 With four left wing kids
 I spent time in Nazi Fortress
 Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-11
 I did not understand why
 I could not accept the fact
 that I'd accepted the contract
 Much discussion in this institution
 Much discussion in boiled beef and carrots
 Room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11
 It was clear in the window eye
 The brick outlined the blue sky
 And I had to go round the gay graduates in the toilets
 And Good King Harry was there
 Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11
 Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11
 I took a walk down West 11
 I had to wade through 500 European punks
 At an off-license I rubbed up with some oiks
 Who threw some change on the Asian counter
 And asked polite if they could have two lagers
 A hospital discharge asked me where he could crash
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type artist ranch
 This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 Spare a thought for the sleeping promo dept.
 They haven't had an idea in two years
 Dollars and deutchmarks keep the company on its feet
 Say have you ever have a chance to meet
 Fat Captain Beefheart imitators with zits?
 Who is the King Shag Corpse?
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type minstrel ranch
 This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 The young blackies get screwed up the worst
 They've gone over to the Hampstead house suss
 An English system they implicitly trust
 See the A&R civil servants
 They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of Moroccan
 They get a sex thrill out of a sixteenth of Moroccan
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type artist ranch
 This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 Yes the traffic hasn't changed that much
 There's still a subculture I feel adrift of
 Yes the traffic hasn't changed that much
 There's still a subculture I feel adrift of
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type minstrel ranch
 This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type minstrel ranch
 This is where loads of punks congregate in the dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 It's a large type minstrel ranch
 This is where C Wilson wrote Ritual in the Dark
 Have you been to the English Deer Park?
 Hey tourist it wasn't quite like what you thought
 Hey Manchester group what wasn't what you thought
 Hey Scottish group that wasn't quite like what you thought
 Hey Manchester group that wasn't what you thought
 Hey Scottish group that wasn't quite like what you thought
 Quite like what you thought
 Hey Midlands, scooped yer, how d'you ever get the job?
 Hey Manchester group from it wasn't quite like what you thought
 Quite like what you thought
 Guess what
 Guess guess guess
 Guess what
