Arrow In The Knee
Johnny Medlar Lyrics

Gather round ye people
Attention please, everyone

and mind to listen well.
Listen carefully and be attentive

I got an epic tale to tell you from the land of Tamriel.
I have an exciting story to share from the world of Tamriel

I was traveling north of Cyrodiil in the province of Skyrim.
I was journeying north from Cyrodiil towards the province of Skyrim

I had just arrived in Whiterun and that where i met him.
I had recently reached Whiterun where I encountered him

Well, to me he looked like just another guard walking down the street.
At first, he seemed like just another guard strolling on the road to me

But to him it seemed i stuck right out, like a bald khajiit.
However, to the guard, I appeared to be distinctive and notable like a hairless Khajiit

And he walked right up to me with a look of nostalgia in his eye.
He approached me with a wistful expression on his face

He said, "We are not so diffrent,..."
He spoke, "We're not so different

"...You and i."
"You and I."

Then he said,
Then he continued,

"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"I was once an adventurer like you."

"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"But then I was injured in the knee by an arrow."

"Just ask any of my fellow guards---"
"You can inquire among my fellow guards---"

"they'll tell you that it's true---"
"they'll confirm that it's accurate---"

"that i took an arrow in the knee!"
"that my knee was penetrated by an arrow."

Well he told me he was on duty, so he couldnt stay to chat.
He mentioned he was on duty and couldn't stop for a conversation

Someone stole a sweetroll,
He explained that someone had stolen a sweetroll,

and he was investigating that.
and he was inquiring about that incident

I said, "dont let me hold you up, sir."
I replied, "You don't need to postpone your work, sir."

And then we parted ways.
And we bade goodbye and left in opposite directions.

I mubled to myself,
I murmured to myself,

"This is looking like one of those days."
"It feels like one of those days."

I was feeling kind of tired
I was worn-out

Decided to head right for the inn.
I then made up my mind to go directly to the inn.

But i'd never been here before.
But I had never visited this place earlier.

Didnt know wich direction it was in.
I wasn't aware of the exact location of the inn.

I walked up to another guard,
I approached another guard,

And asked him where i could find a bed.
And requested him to direct me to a place to sleep.

He looked at me,
He scrutinized me,

then he smiled and said,
then beamed and replied,

"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"I used to be an adventurer like you,"

"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"But then I was wounded in the knee by an arrow."

"Just ask any of my fellow guards---"
"All the other guards will tell you---"

"they'll tell you that it's true---"
"they will testify to its accuracy---"

"that i took an arrow in the knee!"
"That I suffered an injury in the knee from an arrow."

The first one was kind of random,
The first one seemed somewhat haphazard,

but now i was freaking out.
But this second guard's statement caused me to panic.

I was thinking i should run away,
I started considering fleeing the place,

or use a dragon shout.
Or using a shout like a dragon.

I was starting to calm down,
Gradually, I started to relax,

And thats when i looked up and saw...
And that's when I raised my eyes and spotted...

Another guard comming right toward me!
Another guard approaching me at that moment!

That's when i said,
So I exclaimed,

"FUS RO DAH!"
"FUS RO DAH!"

Well in retrospect
In retrospect,

That turned out to be not the greatest plan,
That idea didn't seem to be the greatest plan ever,

Now i'm sprinting for the stables,
Now I'm rushing towards the stables,

Running as fast as i can.
Running as quickly as I could.

But it's just my luck---
But it happens to be my luck---

The stablemaster know how to use a bow.
The stablemaster knew how to handle a bow and arrow.

Now he's aiming for my legs!
And now he's aiming to shoot me in the legs!

Oh NoOoOoOOo!
Oh no!!

"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"I was once an adventurer like you."

"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"But then I suffered an injury in the knee from an arrow."

"Just ask any of my fellow guards---"
"Approach any of my fellow guards---"

"they'll tell you that it's true---"
"They'll confirm that it's factual---"

"We've all taken arrow in the knees!"
"We've all sustained some knee injuries!"

"An arrow in the Kneeeeeeee!"
"Hit by an arrow in the Kneeeeeeee!"

"An arrow in the Kneeeee!"
"Hit by an arrow in the Kneeeee!"

So very painful!
It's extremely painful!

"I used to be an adventurer like you,"
"I was once an adventurer like you."

"But then i took an arrow in the knee!"
"But then I was injured in the knee by an arrow."

"Just ask any of my fellow guards---"
"Ask any of my colleagues who are guards and they'll say---"

"They'll tell you that its true"
"They'll affirm its authenticity."

"We've all taken arrow in the knees!"
"We've all suffered from knee injuries!"

4x"An arrow in the Kneeeee!"
Four times "An arrow in the Kneeeee!"

THE END
END of the story
