Oi! Dis be Holdyn Twyst: stocksman, jailer and hangman of da town of Newcastle (a town also known as GARF).

More, dat dere was people what was hoping for to see da lyrics of dat song what is de official stocks song of Newcastle and udder people what wants to 'ear it as a recordin'. Well, oi be more dan 'appy to share da lyrics wiv thee here and will do what oi can to get it recorded noice-like and make it available to dem what wants it.
Torture on Me Moind (to the tune of Ray Charles' Georgia On My Mind)
-----------------------
Torture
Torture
Da whole day through
Just me old, sweet stocks keep torture on thy moind
Torture
Torture
Da sounds from thee
Come a-crackin' clear as bullwhips 'cross a spine
Someone's hands reach for me keys
Someone's voice cries plaintively
When ye's on the rack ye'll be....
Stretched out to eight foot, two
Torture
Torture
No peace ye'll foind
When me old sweet stocks keep torture
When me old sweet stocks keep torture
When Holdyn Twyst's sweet stocks...
Keep torture on thy moind
Torture
Torture
Yea Verily
------------
And dat be it. Oi is known to perform it at Pub Sing from toim to toim and am always glad to take a request for it when oi is at de stocks. Oi is also glad for thy comments and thoughts.
