My Lady Anne your champion's depressed

I'm not in shape to carry on the quest

I have to keep my speed down to a trot

Or lose what little armour plate I've got

My screws are loose, my clamps are hanging off

My helmet topples every time I cough

I topple with it every time I charge

I've gotta get this suit to a garage

Oh do you wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

My faithful steed is the joke of Joyous Gard

And sensitive withal he takes it hard

His forward gears are shot, and what is worse

He's too slow for my safety in reverse

So there we go, my faithful steed and me

No third party, tax or M.O.T.

And there beside me rides my faithful squire

His card's unstamped, his trumpet fixed with wire

Oh do you wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

For tomorrow I must fight Sir Valentine

Thy hateful ravisher, the prancing swine

The time has come for him to meet his fate

From me, Sir Sagramore the second-rate

The joust is in the morning, Lady Anne

And you not there? My one and only fan

This time I pray that I may stay the course

And not fall from the crane and miss my horse

Oh do you wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

But Justice, God and Truth watch over me

At half a sovereign ringside, children free

Sir Valentine the Violent is through

Providing God comes up with something new

'Cause his drop-forged armour and his tungsten axe

His horse that runs on caterpillar tracks

That showy stuff is strictly for parades

Like his rocket launcher, radar and grenades

Oh do you wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

Sir Valentine the Violent, supersword

Tilts with me tomorrow on the sward

Thy just revenge lies in my hand and eye

My faithful squire has bade me do or die

And put all his money on the other guy

So dost thou wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

Oh do you wonder I feel so uptight

Times were never tougher

Like rugged, man, and rougher

Times were never tougher for an errant knight

Fantastic song, this. Live Libel doesn't get a lot of love, but between this and Stranger in Town there was gold. Thanks for uploading.
