The Wickedest Man In The World Lyrics - Singles - Skyclad

I stand here before you 

The way life has made me 

Ill mannered, foul mouthed 

Bad tempered and lazy 

I stare at your world 

Down the neck of a bottle 

Every day is a death ride 

When I hold the throttle. 

To the drowning I am water 

For your calm I am the storm 

I'm the fiend who's with your daughter 

In bed well before the dawn.

Was I the cat that got the bird? 

They'll put the blame on me 

Everything was grand in wonderland 

Till Charles Manson came to tea. 

Each moment's a game 

And I must play it to win 

And if you cannot bear it 

Then you'll just have to grin 

All the world is a stage 

So I aim to upstage you 

("By the pricking of my thumbs") 

Kill me off - but like Banquo 

I'll come back to plague you 

("Something wicked this way comes") 

All martyrs seek their cross and nails 

The rebels grail his cause 

So I'll just sign away my soul 

And forget the buy-out clause. 

Photos 

The few who see me through my disguise 

Abhore, deplore, hate and despise me 

I care not what you perceive 

Fall unto your knees 

Jack the Ripper went to Sunday school 

With his best friends Mack the Knife 

And the blue eyed boy 

Who lives next door 

He's a junkie Jesus Christ. 

Do you think I'll be sad 

'cus you don't like me 

Well I consider it highly unlikely 

Spill the milk but I won't cry 

My eyes are watertight 

Like my alibi. 

Yes I'll love you then leave you 

For no apparent reason 

My names are many 

My friends call me "Legion" 

The light that casts the shadows 

Darker shades of black 

That hide the drugged up mugger 

Who will stab you in the back. 

I'm not the type of angel 

Who fell from divine grace 

I'm the one who was so bad 

He never got there in the first place 

The vulture in the wings 

As the battle flags unfurl 

"Pleased to meet you, 

I'm the wickedest man in the world."
