Courtesy (for Eliza Carthy) She’s on the fiddle And don’t we know it I’m just glad my Mum OR Dad Weren’t a poet I wouldn’t have dared put pen to paper Some of this stuff I churn out Doesn’t scan Or rhyme even But this goes further back Than one generation heritage There’s many a thousand had a hand On the strings or the page Eliza and the Kings When they play these things Pay them a courtesy Listen! They are living history Today “It’s alright for you!” “It’s genetic” Genetic - Hell Listen! - We are living the first rendition And everyone between as well Throw off your time worn cares And get timeless We are getting back Into the actual fact With this lass Right now! - And the past And - Oh Calcutt-a-very good band You have to listen to understand Swing one hand And up against the other put Let’s hear it for Eliza Carthy and The Kings of Calcutt |
