[00:12.681](TARQUINIUS)-O...
[00:12.681](TARQUINIUS)-O Dr Faust
[00:15.224]I've got a pain
[00:18.234]Where I sit on the throne
[00:20.947]Where an Englishman's home is his kingdom
[00:35.591](FAUST)-Mr Tarquinius of Romford
[00:38.492]You've got blue blood on the brain
[00:41.643]But I know a Roman sanatorium
[00:45.238]Where they'll cure you with a story
[00:48.483]From 2500 years ago:
[00:52.706]The Rape of Lucretia
[01:03.678](TARQUINIUS)-O Dr Faust
[01:07.006]Abroad I shall not go
[01:09.684]The past, so they say, is a foreign country
[01:15.074]And abroad equally
[01:26.395](FAUST)-Mr Tarquinius of Romford
[01:29.444]Since you stubbornly insist
[01:32.343]I'll administer the history of democracy
[01:36.851]Beginning when a woman was done by the son of the king:
[01:42.991]The Rape of Lucretia
[01:50.373]Romulus and Remus
[01:53.291]Orphans of the forest
[01:55.922]Grow to their majority
[02:00.390]Throw up their hands in horror
[02:03.871]The democratic gesture
[02:06.314]When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should be
[02:11.196]Singing "We who are about to die salute thee!"
[02:16.058]The Rape of Lucretia
[02:27.336](TARQUINIUS)-O Dr Faust
[02:29.780]I should've guessed
[02:32.571]That a doctor named after the self-confessed lover
[02:38.519]Of Mephistopheles would say "Take two of these after meals"
[02:45.053]And mean leeches - for all your fine speeches
[02:49.693]Your anthem is "Where the beast sucks there suck I"
[03:05.126](FAUST)-Mr Tarquinius of Romford
[03:08.559]You may set your mind at rest
[03:11.024]My soul's not with the devil but the NHS
[03:16.758]And although I am loathe to
[03:19.576]I've taken an oath to
[03:22.275]Cure people like you who think SPQR stands for
[03:28.315]"Sense Prevents the Queen's Removal"
[03:32.507]The Rape of Lucretia
[03:39.715]Romulus and Remus
[03:42.407]Orphans of the forest
[03:45.011]Grow to their majority
[03:49.858]Throw up their hands in horror
[03:53.201]The democratic gesture
[03:55.981]When Sextus puts his Sextus where no king should he
[04:00.579]Singing "We who are about to die salute thee!"
[04:05.203]The Rape of Lucretia
[04:12.786]Romulus and Remus
[04:15.296]May your example lead us
[04:18.057]Your brotherhood and merit be our guiding force
[04:23.592]You ushered in democracy, you understood that monarchy
[04:28.999]Stands by incest, falls by sexual intercourse
[04:33.971]We'll be singing: "We who are about to die salute thee!"
[04:39.963]The Rape of Lucretia
