The Jester Lyrics

"Simmer down, ladies and gentlemen, simmer down, hey
You're acting rather irresponsibly right now, damn you all!"

Hold your horses, steady now
'Cause we're floating precariously and therefore furthermore frivolously
On tectonic plates

And everything we stand on
And everything we stand for
Is rather unstable right now

So I think I'll kill some time and have you done medium rare
But I think I'll tease my pallet with some crudités, just to prepare
You see we've had a joker in the pack now for quite some time
So I reckon it's just about time we roast this swine

This is a crock of shit I refuse to be fed
So knuckle down and use your head
Can it sunshine, bottle it up you ponce
Then knock me up a dish with some vol-au-vents

Now I think we should take a leaf from the Romans' book
(Throw it up, throw it up)
Now I think we should take a leaf from the Romans' book
(Throw it up, throw it up)

Let's throw it up and start again
Let's throw it up and start again

Nicely does it now...
Steady...
Hold...
Hold...
(Target locked)

Cop a load of this one

Ah, that was great
My compliments to the chef
I'm very satisfied
I'll be sure to dine here again
Fine cuisine
The stuffed cheeks were very agreeable
All in all a splendid spread

I'd say it's about the end Bush Adminstration, with George W being the joker in the pack. The "crock of shit we refuse to be fed" being everything America has done over the past 9-10 years.

This band is in fact british, therefore that isn't correct. The album is basically a go at the British Government eg. The Queen, Tony Blair etc.

The queen is the joker. =)

The line 'Oi oi fucking do one mate. on your bike.' isn't actually in the song =|

i think the line "i'll be sure to dine here again" is a threat at the next p.m/president

i think personaly think its more about the president becase he is seen as the leader of the free world

despite being a english band

plus not many people can name the british prime minister
