Despite the covid lockdowns
\nDespite the rule of Law
\nThe toffs well High on fino
\nAre hunting more and more
\nIn the Orthwaite area
\nThe Cumberland Hunt are there
\nThe hounds in cry I wonder why
\nThe Cumbrian cops
\nTurn a blind eye<\/p>\n
TheY scratch each each others backs
\nIt seems
\nDrinking partners true
\nLandowners and terrier Men
\nAll team up to do
\nThe dirty on the foxes
\nIts what the classes view<\/p>\n
Its the gentry Class
\nof inhabitants
\nMuch more Cultured they
\nAre Breeding cubs
\nFor hounds to chase
\nAnd encouraging
\nmore each day
\nTargetting the schools as well
\nThe tangible desire
\nOf recruiting youngsters
\nto the craft
\nOf fighting fire with fire<\/p>\n
Despite the law the leaders
\nThe council and the rest
\nThe publicans and hostelry
\nLand owners all invest
\nIn countryside and hunting
\nIts all regulated here
\nIts marshalled and methodical
\nEveryones a pioneer<\/p>\n
And so the hounds are yelping
\nThe hunts breaking the law
\nAs for the Cumbrian Police
\nThey all know the score
\nbut it is in the blood Of the countryman
\nTheir consciousness is low
\nChasing a wild soul until it drops
\nIs how They Achieve Their glow<\/p>\n
Low life togged in crimson
\nAll breakIng the law
\nA schooner before they mount their charge
\nAnd off they go to war
\nA bunch of aggressive hounds a chasing
\nHorses and fat arses
\nbelieving they are prestigious
\nAmong the higher classes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
