Shadows
Oh
Is this the same bold fox I saw before I've been wounded
I'll teach you
With his leg permanently maimed by gunshot fox cub bold knew he would never be able to hunt again
Both decided that since humans had crippled him they should feed him so he and crow moved into town
Oh
Don't be scared noise won't harm you got to get used to it used to it
Wish I'd stayed what I was
Oh
Get quieter at night and you can start foraging
There's some rich pickings pickings which you're
Care with me of course you've earned it. Hope you'd say that is your share of mine
Things are looking up but not for the wounded edder hold up in white deer park
Still there Scarface
Still here add
You're wasting your time
You'll be wasting away
Love it when I've just bitten your tail off
Only a far thing adder would do that come on admitted
You're the famous far thing adder. You're the brave snake who killed Scarface's son
At me
Get you see if I don't
Have you anything to say before the court passes sentence on you?
Oh, I can face we saw gave out of the wrong message is her fault
Creep
Creep yourself
You can't confess for somebody else you know measly it isn't allowed
I'm sure we told adder to kill Scarface
We did didn't we measly how do I know?
See me lady I always let her do all the talking that I can believe
Objection me lad may he how dare you oh
Oh
Carry on if we will told adder a kill Scarface she would have matey but she didn't she killed the wrong fox
Case proven me lad I mean lady those weasels are guilty
Oh, that's not fair. What about the chief weakness and who pray by to that be adder
If it's their word against hers matey I'd believe adder
But we haven't heard adders were yet
Where is the chief witness?
Who knows
Weasel you are merely playing for time and as I want to go hunting in the absence of further evidence the judge will pronounce sentence
For dropping adder in it the sentence of this court is that you both be taken to a wet place and
Dropped in it
Oh
Friendly you should be on watch
Charmer will be waiting for you
Charmer oh, yes, she was waiting for someone alright, but it wasn't me. What do you mean?
I caught her with ranger scarfated son. They were acting very friendly. What?
Disgraceful
I had a feeling this might happen
traitorous cub
What does she told you
Nothing and she's no traitor or okay. She doesn't mean to be what does it matter what she means to be a traitor is a traitor
She's in love
Don't you remember how it was fox? Well
It was different with us
We're both red forces this ranger ranger is blue
You promised you wouldn't tell him no, I didn't yes, you did shut up
so
We were not to know about this ranger of yours
Hmm, I would have told you myself when the time was right the time could never be right
You and he could never make a match
How can you say that you haven't even met him I don't need to you're red. He's blue. What more do you want?
We're young. What difference does that kind of make?
If I may intercede fox love as we all know is reputed to be blind
Never mind all that clap trap his father and I are at war
Perhaps your children will bring peace to the two tribes
Please don't drive another of my comes away fox. Oh
So now we're back to bone are we I'm sorry. I only meant don't be too hard on charmer. You could at least meet a young
You're all against me
No, no
So you think I should meet this ranger? Yes, I do all right
Better fetch him. Oh, thank you. Thank you
I wish badger was here
The young just don't seem to value the oath as we did
Better
Are you all right?
