Arrow in the Knee

Текст песни Johnny Medlar - Arrow in the Knee

[Intro]
(An arrow in the knee) x8

[Verse 1]
Gather around ye people and mind you listen well
I got an epic tale to tell you from the land of Tamriel
I was travelling north of Cyrodiil in the province of Skyrim
I had just arrived in Whiterun and that's where I met him

Well, to me he looked like just another guard walking down the street
But to him, it seemed I stuck right out like a bald Khajiit
And he walked right up to me with a look of nostalgia in his eye
He said, "we are not so different, you and I"
Then he said

[Chorus]
"I used to be an adventurer like you
But then I took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards, they'll tell you that it's true
That I took an arrow in the knee!"

[Verse 2]
Well he told me he was on duty, so he couldn't stay to chat
Someone stole a sweetroll, and he was investigating that
I said, "don't let me hold you up, sir" and then we parted ways
I mumbled to myself, "this is looking like one of those days"
I was feeling kind of tired, decided to head right for the inn
But I'd never been here before, didn't know what direction it was in
I walked up to another guard, and asked him where I could find a bed
He looked at me, then he smiled and then he said

[Chorus]
"I used to be an adventurer like you
But then I took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards, they'll tell you that it's true
That I took an arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"

[Verse 3]
The first one was kind of random, but now I was freaking out
I was thinking I should run away, or use a dragon shout
I was starting to calm down, and that's when I looked up an saw
Another guard coming right toward me, that's when I said, "Fus Ro Dah!"
Well in retrospect that turned out to be not the greatest plan
Now I'm sprinting for the stables, running as fast as I can
But it's just my luck the stable master knows how to use a bow
Now he's aiming for my legs, oh no!

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
"I used to be an adventurer like you
But then I took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards, they'll tell you that it's true
We've all taken arrows in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
(So very painful)
"I used to be an adventurer like you
But then I took an arrow in the knee!"
"Just ask any of my fellow guards, they'll tell you that it's true
We've all taken arrows in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
"An arrow in the knee!"
