Cockermouth - Mekons

You take the high, I’ll take the low

Off through the gorse and brambles

Far off the road and far from home

I ramble

A hornet’s nest lies on the track

It’s half formed larvae scattered

A workers cottage broken down

And left in shambles

Leave the path, strike out alone

Up on the ridge I ramble

Back to the wind, face wet with rain

Above the fields of cattle

High in the ferns I find a scull

I see the flashing shadows

Jet fighters swooping loud and low

Rehearse for Armageddon

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

(I ramble)

This is the end

(I ramble)

Over the hills and far away

All through the day I ramble

I rock 'n' roll in standing stones

With Brian Jones I ramble

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

(I ramble)

This is the end

(I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

(Far off the road and far from home)

This is the end

(I ramble, I ramble)

I believe, believe, believe, believe, believe

Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe

Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe

(I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

(I ramble)

This is the end

(I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

(I ramble)

(Far off the road and far from home)

This is the end

(I ramble, I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

This is the end

You don’t have to believe in the end

(Strike out alone I ramble)

You have to believe this is the end

(I lose my way I ramble)

(I lose my clothes I ramble)

This is the end

(On to the end I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

(Back in time I ramble)

You have to believe this is the end

(All left behind I ramble)

(H. D. Thoreau I ramble)

This is the end

(Nowhere to go I ramble)

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

This is the end

You don’t have to believe in the end

You have to believe this is the end

This is the end
