Neil Hannon - The Pact lyrics

[Verse 1] This is our pact This is our Entente Cordiale When they attack And you can be sure that they shall We shall without delay Come to each other's aid And man the barricades together [Verse 2] This is our pact This is the treaty that we've signed What one may lack The other party will provide And everyone must know You mess with one, you mess with both And together we'll beat the ba*tards back This is our pact [Bridge] A bond born of brotherhood A friendship forged in fire To benefit the common good And further our desires A special relationship A meeting of the minds Two proud and sovereign nations sit Together side by side [Verse 3] This is our pact And we will come when duty calls No turning back It's all for one and one for all And though the world may try To come between us by and by Together we'll beat the ba*tards back This is our pact Yeah this is our pact This is our pact
