Bandits Lyrics - The Trials Of Van Occupanther - Midlake

Did you ever want to be overrun by bandits; 

to hand over all of your things and start over new? 

while we were out hunting for food 

our house was being robbed 

I caught an apple and she caught a fox 

so I caught a rabbit but she caught an ox 

so upon our return, we found everything gone 

which for us was no loss 

and we started over 

with a rabbit and an ox 

so they came down from the north 

carrying all they owned 

with a basket full of food and clothes 

they were stopped by a weekend raid 

traveling the woods one day 

they tried to put up a fight, but lost 

so we asked for them to stay 

with us on their way 

to have a drink and rest 

and regain their strength 

did you ever want to run around with bandits; 

to see many places and hide in ditches? 

it's not always easy, it's not always easy 

when the winter comes and the greenery goes 

we will make some shelter 

when the winter comes and the greenery goes 

we will make some shelter
