The final showdown between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty OR Paranoid drug-addicts go at one another. 

LYRICS:
Holmes: All the tiny strings of things are coming back to one,
I don’t know the how or why of what you have done,
Across the world I’ve chased you and I’ve got you in my sights,
And now that we meet at last, I hope that you’re surprised.

CH: And then he died,
Yeah then he died.
He heard the mandrake’s cry,
And so he died. 

Across the earth I’ve chased you, like Heracles to die
Armed up with but little else than pipe and mind.
Seven percent inspiration- all the rest is jubilation
As the belt begins to tighten round my arm and round my mind.

CH:

Moriarty: We plummet now, we plummet now, you caught me unawares,
Some minor maths professor who in your passion and despair
Decided I was evil- some Napoleon Criminale 
And now oh Lord the time has come-
We are going down.

CODA: I am an ecologist and let the record show-
All this world is but one machine for one man to control,
And though I die, though I die, someone else will know.
Those fucking cunts at Oxbridge they really rather know. 


Reichenbach Blues

The musings of a professional torturer, lamenting on his missing childhood.

LYRICS:
Time had been and I have seen
Many bodies on this rack,
I wish to God and Christ above,
That I could have my childhood back.

CH: Once again the tale told.
Not so inviting,
But in a tongue so old.
You smile in reassurance as you whisper down the phone,
Please God Take Me Home.

So listen up you men of old,
And kids there up the back, 
The light is fading quickly now and
All will soon reduce to black.

CH: 

Role up role up.
For your very good entertainment:
We present a man,
Who gave his life away,
In the service of the king.

Time had been and I have seen many bodies on this rack
I wish to God and Christ above that I could have my childhood back.

Please God Take me home. Please God Take me home.

So listen up you men of old,
And kids there up the back, 
The light is fading quickly now and
All will soon reduce to black.

Please God take me home, please God take me home. 
Please God take me home, please God take me home. 


Take Me Home

Guy Fawkes spent a short holiday in Australia (which at that time was less than developed) and was locked up in the regional town of Castlemaine for a very long time. Upon release, he's destroyed by a particularly strong blast of sunshine.

LYRICS:
Tell me- who’s the man behind the mask as the shadows stretch from the gables
Come at me with your violin come and tell me a tale
And I’ll take you down
Into the street
Where you can watch the dancing of his feet
Twist and turn at rope’s end
To see the message God has sent.

CH: Remember, remember the fifth of November, gun powder treason and plot. 
I can think of no reason the gunpowder treason ever should be forgot.

A masterly man will always command a sense of love and affection
Houses of parliament burned to the ground for the sake of Guy Fawkes’ new direction.
Let me take you down
Into the Street
Where you can watch the dancing of his feet
Twist and turn at rope’s end
To see the message God has sent.

CH: Remember, remember the eleventh of September, so many lives were lost. 
The Middle East burning, the gears of war turning, Jesus Christ nailed to the cross.

In Castlemaine, baby I was framed. They threw me in the cooler and they took my name. 
Yeah in Castlemaine, baby I was framed, they threw me in the cooler and they took my name.

My oh my you call the shots, in thigh high boots and riding crops.
Lord oh lord oh you call the shots, in thigh high boots and riding crops.
Lord oh lord the fun never stops, the fun never stops till they call the cops.
Lord oh Lord the fun never stops, in thigh high boots and riding crops.

Sunshine, sunshine how it burns my eyes, scorching the flesh on the back of my neck. 
Sunshine, sunshine how it burns my eyes, scorching the flesh on the back of my neck.
