Lyrics:
On page 99 in the terrible timeline
Mr Peel’s police force, wicked you might find.
Foul fun and criminal cures, we really must talk
A time of new inventions and terrific discoveries
Where mankind can enhance and exert cruelty
Exacerbate a master race, perfections no impurities
Oh, I’m a Toby, can’t you see
Out for the dropsy in your pit and all your tackle too
Nine strands of leather, three nots for each
He took the first strike in silence but the cat leaves streaks
Oh one would’ve thought by now you realised that real life is clear lies
Fed to you by an unsuspecting fiend.
Elizabeth Fry, oh she is furious with Birmingham prison and stories
Of the crank being turned 10,000 times
And over in Preston as it festers as the body count booms
Treadmills are replaced with weaving looms
Oh I hope that her Majesty
Oh I hope that she remembers me
In the 18th century
Where many men have come before
And Queen Victoria, oh she decreed
She taught me how to talk like a villainous Victorian
She taught me how to talk like a villainous Victorian
She taught me how to talk like a villainous Victorian
She taught me how to talk like a villainous Victorian
Awoooo (barking)
