Lady Charlotte and the Bartender: One of the first songs written by Al and Ali where a powerful level of musical intensity and composition were present. Lyrically, it escapes to a fictional world of the old west, where a lady of the night, "Lady Charlotte," teams up with "the bartender" to kill the criminals that luxuriate in this particular bar. They do this all the while raising children of their own, and frequently moving to the next town in need of their service. A rare act of bringing hope to society by liberal force is the under belly template upon which the characters thrive,......... and it's entertaining.

lyrics

Mamma’s got to leave her babies asleep tonight
Mamma’s got to leave her babies for town tonight
Mamma’s got to leave to catch those thieves and love a few and kill so many
Mamma’a got to leave her babies asleep tonight

Oh, to love a few and kill so many
Oh, to love a few and kill so many

He serves the scum that dwell here everynight
The man of mine who shares the same as I
He doesn’t mind to lead the damned to feel the fate through my cold hands
He serves the scum that dwell here everynight

Oh, to love a few and kill so many

Oh, to love a few and kill so many
Oh, to love a few and kill so many

Pleasure in the kind of bloodshed spreads tonight
Robbing all the world of the twisted brothers kind
Blessing all the good to be the means to love a few and kill so many
Mamma’s got to leave her babies asleep tonight

Oh, to love a few and kill so many
Oh, to love a few and kill so many
Oh, to love a few and kill so many

Come now the deed is done, the blood is shed , we have won
Come now the deed is done, the blood is shed , we have won
Come now the deed is done, the blood is shed , we have won
Come now the deed is done, the blood is shed , let’s move on.
