Cockermouth Lyrics - Singles - The Mekons

You take the high, I'll take the low 

Off through the gorse and brambles 

Far off the road and far from home 

I ramble 

A hornet's nest lies on the track 

It's half formed larvae scattered 

A workers cottage broken down 

And left in shambles 

Leave the path, strike out alone 

Up on the ridge I ramble 

Back to the wind, face wet with rain 

Above the fields of cattle 

High in the ferns I find a scull 

I see the flashing shadows 

Jet fighters swooping loud and low 

Rehearse for Armageddon 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

(I ramble) 

This is the end 

(I ramble) 

Over the hills and far away 

All through the day I ramble 

I rock 'n' roll in standing stones 

With Brian Jones I ramble 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

(I ramble) 

This is the end 

(I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

(Far off the road and far from home) 

This is the end 

(I ramble, I ramble) 

I believe, believe, believe, believe, believe 

Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe 

Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe 

(I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

(I ramble) 

This is the end 

(I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

(I ramble) 

(Far off the road and far from home ) 

This is the end 

(I ramble, I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

This is the end 

You don't have to believe in the end 

(Strike out alone I ramble) 

You have to believe this is the end 

(I lose my way I ramble) 

(I lose my clothes I ramble) 

This is the end 

(On to the end I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

(Back in time I ramble) 

You have to believe this is the end 

(All left behind I ramble) 

(H. D. Thoreau I ramble) 

This is the end 

(Nowhere to go I ramble) 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

This is the end 

You don't have to believe in the end 

You have to believe this is the end 

This is the end
