Nobody's posted the lyrics yet, so here they are: Keep the peace, Keep the peace, Bounce those ruffians out of here, Bounce those scallywags on their ear! Keep the peace. Keep the peace! With a tavern full of raucous men, You don't know where and you don't know when, A hairy hand lands on your cheek, Oh, Kero, keep the peace! Down on your luck, raggedy and stuck, In a town that's murderous, dark, and drab, A job in a tavern can't be all that bad. But watch your step, or you'll catch your death. As the sound rings out of a drunken mob, You'll have to bear down and do your job! Keep the peace, keep the peace, Bounce those ruffians out of here, Bounce those scallywags on their ear! Keep the peace. Keep the peace! With a tavern full of raucous men, You don't know where and you don't know when, A hairy hand lands on your cheek, Oh, Kero, keep the peace! A wild kinda life Craving food for a knife But you're no worse off than you were at home Left in the kitchen with bread and bone And the pay's pretty fair, so you'll have to grin and bear, Grab the money, just kick and run, You'll have a sore head but you'll have some fun! Pour the liquor and serve the mead You're better off here than on the street! Keep the peace, keep the peace, Bounce those ruffians out of here, Bounce those scallywags on their ear! Keep the peace. Keep the peace! With a tavern full of raucous men, You don't know where and you don't know when, A hairy hand lands on your cheek, Oh, Kero, keep the peace! On a drunken night, men are looking for a fight They talk to themselves, mumble and groan, Some of those devils, better leave alone A chair flies by, and up goes a cry In a mass of bodies they tumble and roar, Make your way to the open door And one by one, fling em high and neat Till the whole congregation's lying in the street! Keep the peace, keep the peace, Bounce those ruffians out of here, Bounce those scallywags on their ear! Keep the peace. Keep the peace! With a tavern full of raucous men, You don't know where and you don't know when, A hairy hand lands on your cheek, Oh, Kero, keep the peace! Kero, keep the peace! Oh, Kero, keep the peace!
"In a mass of bodies they tumble and roar Make your way to the open door And one by one, fling 'em high and neat Till the whole congregation's lying in the street!" Sounds like an off day at the lion house in a zoo.
Keep the peace, keep the peace Bounce those ruffians out of here Bounce those scallywags on their ear Keep the peace, keep the peace With a tavern full of ruckus men, You don't know where and you don't know when A hairy hand lands on your cheek Oh, Kero, keep the peace Down on your luck, Raggedy and stuck In a town that's murderous, dark and drab A job in a tavern can't be all that bad But watch your step, Or you'll catch your death As the sound rings out of a drunken mob You'll have to bear down and do your job Keep the peace, keep the peace Bounce those ruffians out of here Bounce those scallywags on their ear Keep the peace, keep the peace With a tavern full of ruckus men, You don't know where and you don't know when A hairy hand lands on your cheek Oh, Kero, keep the peace A wild kind of life, Trading food for a knife But you no worse off than you were at home Left in the kitchen with bread and bone And the pay's pretty fair So you'll have 'ta grin and bear Grab the money, just kick 'em along You'll have a sore head, but you'll have some fun Pour the liquor and serve the meed You're better of here than on the street Keep the peace, keep the peace Bounce those ruffians out of here Bounce those scallywags on their ear Keep the peace, keep the peace With a tavern full of ruckus men, You don't know where and you don't know when A hairy hand lands on your cheek Oh, Kero, keep the peace On a drunken night, Men looking for a fight They talk to themselves, mumble and groan Some of those devils better leave alone A chair flies by And up goes a cry In a mass of bodies they tumble and roar Make your way to the open door And one by one fling them high and neat ‘Til the whole congregations laying on the street Oh, Keep the peace, keep the peace Bounce those ruffians out of here Bounce those scallywags on their ear Keep the peace, keep the peace With a tavern full of ruckus men, You don't know where and you don't know when A hairy hand lands on your cheek Oh, Kero, keep the peace Kero keep the peace Oh, Kero, keep the peace
@ARP7777777 That picture of the Dwarf tackling the guy in the tavern is from the rulebook for Pathfinder, which is a version of Dungeons and Dragons. I assumed that since you had the picture from the book that you knew what it was. In any case, thanks for uploading this video, it's a great song!
@ARP7777777 Well, again, I must thank you. Music like this is good to play D&D and other RPGs with. It really helps with the atmosphere. I imagine my players will like this, seeing as we've been listening to pretty much just Blind Guardian and Battlelore for a long time now.
no :) for "The Leslac Version" Tarma and Kethry had ridden into viden town and were trying to get lodgings and food and the drunk town lord came in trying to get money from the innkeep lol :)
@ARP7777777 Blind Guardian is a German power metal band, while I suppose I would call Battlelore filk metal. All of Battlelore's lyrics relate to Tolkien's works. What do you mean by gamebooks though?
@@EyeOfEld Thanks to your comments I got into Thieves' World, because I couldn't resist looking up what you were talking about. I've collected books 3, 4, 5 and 9 so far :) Thanks ^^ Edit: can I start reading in one of the books I've got so far or should I start at book 1 when I've got that one?
@@TreespeakerOfTheLand They are anthologies, so you can start at any place, but some authors have their own story threads which flow through multiple books so it might be a bit confusing at first. I actually started with Face of Chaos, but it was pretty dark. Then again, the whole series is fairly dark. It has been a while since I read them and am sadly away from my book collection, but 3 should be a fairly decent starting place. You might feel like a few characters are missing proper introductions, but it shouldn't be too bad.
