Vendean's Skin Lyrics


Thirty two men shot, thirty two flayed men

Lie by the river before being skinned

The Vendean’s blood flows in the streets of Angers

For the blues’s pleasure, to tanners from Pont de Cé

Men’s skin to make drums out of them

and kid’s skin to turn them into lampshades

Men’s skin to make drums out of them

and kid’s skin to turn them into lampshades

They glorified women’s skin for their incredible finesse

They’d rip their butts off for their happiness

That bastard Robespierre, the worst of torturers,

Always right in his boots, leather were his knickers

Men’s skin to make drums out of them

and kid’s skin to turn them into lampshades

Men’s skin to make drums out of them

and kid’s skin to turn them into lampshades
