Song | St. Ivan's Day School |
Artist | Bishop Allen |
Album | Ep Collection Vol. 2 |
Before the choir master drank himself to death | |
He used to love to entertain us with a song | |
And you never would have guessed that he was horribly depressed | |
For when he'd sing, it didn't seem a thing was wrong | |
Singing "Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will roll" | |
I see the guidance counselor for our yearly tough talk | |
And he used his hand to hide his crooked teeth | |
He said "A day will come along when you will find where you belong | |
And pray to god it isn't here with me" | |
Singing "Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will roll" | |
"Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will roll" | |
Seventeen years later, I was walking home one day | |
There was a man sitting, shaking, in the rain | |
White as a sheet and missing all his teeth | |
He looked so bad, I really can't explain | |
I think his name was Tim, he used to beat me up in gym | |
And I asked if he remembered me, 'cause I remembered him | |
And I pulled him to his feet, and I kissed him on the cheek | |
And arm in arm, we struck up this refrain: | |
Singing "Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will | |
Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will | |
Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Hey, ho, the heads will roll | |
Death will come and take my song | |
How the heads will roll" |
