The World's End

Down from the castle, down the Royal Mile
Past all the tenements and schools
You'll find the humblest of open doors
And the comfiest bar stools
I don't believe I've seen your face before
I know where fellows like you lurk
But what's the worst thing that could happen, Mr Hare?
Go sit down next to Mr Burke

Come drink wine with these feverish minds
Come be a patron and a friend
Be a body snatcher while the mistresses all scratch ya
Here at the World's End

They pay you handsomely for blood these days
Especially when the lawyers aren't around
But how long before the bucket's on your head?
We'll have to take this underground
These are the caverns of the new survivor
It's on these streets we make our stand
The oyster bars will give you something else to savour
Provid'st you take them out of hand

Come drink wine with these feverish minds
Come be a patron and a friend
Be a body snatcher while the mistresses all scratch ya
Here at the World's End

I think you know where the party's at
It's right underneath where you are
Deep in the bowels of bonnie Scotland
In another wretched oyster bar

The old biddy's got a little more to her
Strong, willing and able
So don't try burking with a woman twice your age
She'll drink you right under the table

Come drink wine with these feverish minds
Come be a patron and a friend
Be a body snatcher while the mistresses all scratch ya
Here at the World's End

Come drink wine with these feverish minds
Come be a patron and a friend
Be a body snatcher while the mistresses all scratch ya
Here at the World's End
