A cover of a ballad by Guillaume de Poitiers. Performed in the empty mortuary chapel of St Thomas next to the petrol station in the village. The wandering fool bard is an ancient tradition.

lyrics

Comrades, I have had so many bad receptions
that I cannot do without singing and grieving about it;
however, I don't want people to know my business in many things.
And I shall tell you my opinion about this:
I don't like a warded cunt nor a pond without fish,
nor boasting of base men, as if there weren't records of their actions.
Lord God, who are refuge and king of the world,
why didn't the first cunt-warden drop dead?
Because there never was service, or watch, worse than that.
Therefore shall I tell you the Law of the Cunt,
as a man who's done badly and has been repaid worse:
if other things dwindle when you take of them, the cunt grows.
And he who will not believe my teachings,
let him go see by the wood, in a reservation:
for each tree people fell, two or three grow.
And when the wood is cut, it grows back thicker
and the owner doesn't miss his profit, nor his income:
one complains wrongly about the loss, if no harm is done.
It is wrong to complain about the loss, if no harm is done.
