lyrics

This town's suffocating from a lack of warmth and charm
And every bump and booboo is a cause for alarm
The odds of five will get you ten
My shield must be a heart again

Making a wake from a cocktail party
A ripe Reichenbach for a Moriarty
Who'll play the great Dane in the manger
Arrived a friend and left a stranger

Cool it, Tilt, cos you're no martyr
You're not the Dane you're meant to be
So I look out for some hipper haunts
(And so do his sisters and his brothers and his aunts)
I hope I find some cats worth knowing
Where the neon signs are glowing

Oh the enemy is waiting at the gate
Where some sucker thinks he'll give a helping hand to fate

Some never learn the rules and wonder why they never win
Some get off on confession even though they hate to sin
They pay the writers for new scenes, but end up playing old routines

Is this prison really that beguiling?
They eat the cake before I put the file in
I wonder if there's no escaping
The kind of destiny they're shaping

Cool it Tilt and don the armour, you've got a name to live up to
I guess I can't decline, I'll fall for that old line
I'm going to take my own advice
It's more important to be nice
I'm in the frame to play the knave
I'm in the mood to misbehave
Tie a knot in my destiny
Such invisible things I'll see
The impossible calls to me

It is impossible to separate the National Pep's history into its components of truth and legend. There is a truly marvellous proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain, but which can be read at
