Legions of a Mind

"Legions of a Mind" infographic.

"Legions of a Mind" (commonly known as "Oliver Cromwell" or "Oliver Cromwell's Dead") is a pop song about the death and Oliver Cromwell and the subsequent adventures of his severed and tarred head by amateur historian and volunteer moralist Karl Jones from his unpublished album "In Search of the Lost King".

Lyrics

Oliver Cromwell's dead

No, no no no, he's outside looking in

He'll fight his wars but lose his head
It's boiled in tar, keeps ravens fed
He keeps reminding us he's dead

Oliver Cromwell ... Oliver Cromwell ... Oliver Cromwell ...

Commentary

In further death of Oliver Crowell news—

I am fascinated by the severed and tarred and politically manipulated head of Oliver Cromwell, and you may expect more in this vein if I fail to show some restraint:
