Tordisillas in September
\na place never to go
\nboycott the place
\ndon’t show your face
\nbecause of course you know<\/p>\n
the murdering of one brave bull
\ngoes far beyond the pale
\nfar beyond whats decent
\nand it leaves a bloody trail<\/p>\n
of mayhem and of agony
\nand suffering for all
\nand with all those crowds
\nto egg it on
\nfiesta there’s a school <\/p>\n
of thought surrounding this town
\nthat asks what’s its all for
\ndon’t talk to us’of culture
\nor tradition any more<\/p>\n
this is murder in the first degree
\nof that we are sure
\nthe bull gets so frustrated
\nwhich nobody can ignore<\/p>\n
with all the noise the strees and pain
\nhe’s chased in to a field he is
\nand it all starts up again
\nlots of vino lots of fizz<\/p>\n
men on foot and men on horseback
\nuse their lances to
\nstab him, and they stab him
\nand try to run him through<\/p>\n
the pain must be immense for him
\nthe loss of blood and terror there
\nand people baying for more blood
\nfor more wanton despair<\/p>\n
that bull is proud and courageous
\nhe tried to buck the trend
\nhe tries to run the gambit
\nthe message it does send<\/p>\n
and then they cut his testicles off
\nthats whilst he’s alive
\nimagine the pain and agony
\nhow can any bull survive<\/p>\n
but thats just really the start of it
\nthey carry on until
\nthe bull sinks on its haunches
\nand just waits for the kill<\/p>\n
last year it was a screwdriver thrust
\ninto its head
\ngoodness knows what it will be this year
\nwhat will kill it dead<\/p>\n
and this is Spain’s great festival
\nthe cultural king of grief
\nanyone that witnesses this
\nperhaps has no belief<\/p>\n
that anyone could ever put an animal through all this
\njust in the arrangements
\nsomeone takes the piss
\nthe world is up in arms about this
\nbut Spain just snubs their nose
\nits up to caring people
\nto not turn up at thei shows<\/p>\n
to boycott Spain
\nto pose that question
\nwhat’s it all about
\nwhy are they so bloody cruel
\nit doesn’t bring in tourists
\nand actually does fuel<\/p>\n
the protests
\nthat’s the seriousness of what
\nits all about the callousness
\nof this town and why we see this rout
\nTordisillas your fiesta is a vile and nasty show
\nand is bringing bad karma into Spain as well you know<\/p>\n
Petitions start up every year
\nand thousands join them but they
\ndon’t make a hapeth of a difference
\nand so Spain what we say<\/p>\n
is boycott Spain until
\nthe show is cancelled
\nboycott Spain that is the only way
\nhit them in their pockets
\ndon’t buy Spanish Wine
\ntapas or the rest
\nnow from today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
