Final part of the Kes Rap. Thanks for over 1000 views of each part everyone.

Lyrics:

Now Mr Farthing teaches a much better lesson/
’cause they have some objectives and don’t cause depression/
In the kids who attend as they sit in their seats/
He wants facts about Tibbut and he asks them to speak/
“He always trying to go with girls at night”/
“He smokes” “Do I neek” but both claims are right/
Mr Farthing’s not interested in punishing Tibbut/
But he’s hacked off with Guthrie as he dropped him in it/
“Think of an incident that has happened to you”/
“That is true” is the task that the class has to do/
But Casper didn’t listen and is destined to fail/
“Come on Casper, don’t stand there like a nail”/
“Come on, come on” the kids encourage him a bit/
“He’s got this hawk sir, he’s crackers over it”/
As Billy tells all bout the kestrel he’s trained/
The “jesses” and “swivel” are the words he explains/
As Billy explains how the training moved on/
“Do you want to hear about that?” “Aye then go on”/
Now Billy’s explanations are detailed and long/
He says that when Kes flew she “came like a bomb”/
“like lightning” she flew “her head stood still”/
“not a sound from wings” the class clearly thrilled/
For once in his life Billy don’t feel like a joke/
As he walks past the corner in the yard where kids smoke/
“Don’t thee like company, they say thee mother does”/
And then he implies Billy’s no relation to Jud/
“What is he, my sister?” is Billy’s smart answer/
Macdowell’s hit by coal thrown straight at him by Casper/
The fight attracts kids from all over the yard/
But Billy’s no match as Macdowell’s too hard/
But then Farthing appears and breaks things up quickly/
He points out “He’s just about your size Casper, isn’t he?”
“I’ll fetch me dad” Macdowell says again/
“My dad’s champion of the word what will your do do then?”/
“Do you understand Macdowell do you understand it?” Farthng asks twice/
Before counselling Billy about his crap life/
Farthing listens intently to Billy’s long whine/
“When do you fly this hawk of yours?” “Dinnertimes”/
“I’ll come round then if it’s OK” Farthing requests/
But his interest is genuine and he’s not a sex pest/
Now as Billy snipes sparrows with his air gun/
There’s a note with a bet that Jud wants put on/
He pockets the money and carves up the meat/
As Farthing drives his white Fiat looking for Billy’s street/
“I’ll go by the fence eh?” Farthing suggests/
“It’s alreet” says Billy and Farthing’s impressed/
With Billy’s new prowess as Kes swoops and dives/
“Most exciting thing I’ve ever seen in me life!”
Billy asks Farthing to come sit in the shed/
But it’s not anything dodgy as I previously said/
There’s a feeling that Farthing attempts to explain/
“When its flying there’s something about it makes you feel strange/
“Is it cos its quiet?” Billy interjects/
“That’s it aye!” “It’s instinctive, it’s a form of respect!”/
Billy heads to the bookies a few minutes later/
And asks for advice from the man with the paper/
“Would you back em?” he asks and considers Jud’s wager/
“I can’t see it myself” so Billy throws Jud’s bit of paper/
He pockets Jud’s cash and heads off down the street/
And calls into the chip shop and gets given free beef/ (Ta!)
Back in the maths lesson Billy’s not revising/
He’s looking outside because Jud’s on the horizon/
Jud’s threats at the are making his heart beat faster/
“Isn’t that that illustrious brother of yours Casper?”
“What’s the matter, don’t you feel well?”
That an understatement ;cause he’s as scared as hell/
Billy sneaks around the school just like Solid Snake/
As Jud infiltrates the toilets leaving doors kicked in his wake/
He interrogates the pupil in the cubicle he sees/
“Have you seen our Billy?” “Aye he’s in here with me!”/
Billy runs past the gymnastics down into the boiler room/
And he sits against the wall now hidden underneath the school/
After a kip Billy heads back up to see his mates/
But all this laying low has made him several minutes late/
The employment man is here and he’s the next one to be seen/
And Gryce is not impressed with him, “where the hell have you been?”/
As Billy takes a seat there’s noone else waiting there/
And then a kid’s mam arrives and sits beside him on the chair/
The kid just isn’t interested and him mam begins to whinge/
“What job are you after then, a job on the bins”/
“Well then Casper, what kind of job have you got in mind?”/
Billy shrugs his shoulders as the guy helps him decide/
“There are good opportunities in mining” “I ain’t going down pit!”
“Have you any hobbies?” But that’s the end of it/
His talk of hobbies in Casper they have stirred/
A feeling that his brother Jud has messed with Casper’s bird/
As he legs it through the town a sudden panic in his head/
he frantically arrives home and investigates the shed/

He explains to passers by that it’s his brother that he seeks/
The bookie says if he had Billy “wouldn’t be in one piece”/
He explains to Billy that cause he “hadn’t put bet on”/
“They both came in then did there” “100/6 and 4/1″
“Bloody hell” now frantic Billy stands upon the grass/
But Kes is nowhere near despite his shouting and his gasps/
As his shouts become cries the situation’s getting tense/
Billy wildy swings the lure as he stands upon the fence/
At the site of the nest Casper finally calls it quits/
And he barges through the door “where is ti what’s tha done with it?”/
“Your tea’s going cold here!” Casper doesn’t care/
And accuses Jud who decks him from the comfort of his chair/
Jud is very angry ‘bout the winnings that he’s missed/
“If he’d put that bet on horses .. there woudn’t have been none of this”/
It seems that Billys thieving wasn’t good for Kes’s health/
“I’d have sixteen quid to draw if he kept thieving hands to himself”/
“What’s he upset for?” “’cause he’s killed me hawk instead/
Jud confirms the worst as Billy dives to hide his head/
“Tha’s a big bastard, a big fuckin bastard”/

After taking in the news billy jumps to his feet/
Has a rummage through the bins that are standing in the street/
He finds Kes’ body and he holds it in his hands/
And checks for signs of life as he quietly stands/
Billy mother is appalled as he brings the dead bird in/
Because although he is emotional it has been in the bin/
“Take it away from table anyway Billy”/
His mother doesn’t get it and she thinks he’s being silly/
“It’s only a bird you can get another can’y ya?”/
She can’t stand up to Jud in the absence of his father/
In a final act of courage Billy dares to try his luck/
Using kes’s body as an improvised nunchuck/
Billy’s resigned now as he performs a final act/
And he hacks a shallow grave for Kes with a small one handed axe/
As he covers Kes’ body with handfuls of the earth/
He reflects on what Jud’s betting slip was ultimately worth.
