They looked at my postcode, they asked me to speak
       B7                E
It was then I decided my prospects were bleak.
                                      A
Well it may be through goose rule, it may be through God
E                        B7           E
One day there’s gonna be blood on the quad.
                   A            E
Blood on the quad, blood on the quad
A         E             B7           E
Me in the belltower and blood on the quad.

They’d been punting on the Backs; they drank a crate of Becks
            B7                                E
Smashed the punts up with an axe, now they’re going to drop their kecks.
                                   A
Well they say not to spoil them by sparing the rod
       E                            B7           E
You’ll know I complied when there’s blood on the quad.
                   A            E
Blood on the quad, blood on the quad
A         E             B7           E
Me in the belltower and blood on the quad.

Blood on the quad, blood on the quad
A         E             B7           E
Me in the belltower and blood on the quad.

It sounds like a class rant but it’s really because
         E               A                 B7       E
I am the landlord of the pub that gets the cemetery trade
