Winston's Lament
from The Time Travelling Musical Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Musical by Flat 29
lyrics
Time has run out for you this day
The crimes of the past were yours to solve
And though I didn’t know you as a brother really should
You were my friend (My brother)
You were our companion
They’ll honour you in Nandos with Piri Piri sauce
The greatest of their advocates, the finest spokesmen, but of course
Once filled up with chicken you thrashed villains long ago
Each one of your lectures taught us things we ought to know
And your metal body put you in another class
Each gleaming component reflected in the stars
Your cockney rhyming slang well it kept us all amused
You were my friend (My brother)
You were our companion, you were our companion
(Winston, Winston Winston, Winston)
(Professor Winston, Professor Winston)
Your Cockney charm will sure be missed by all of those who knew
Your cheeky smile metallic face and love of chicken too
We’re so glad to have known you we can’t believe our luck
But now you’re gone all we can say is ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh SHUCKS!
The crimes of the past were yours to solve
And though I didn’t know you as a brother really should
You were my friend (My brother)
You were our companion
They’ll honour you in Nandos with Piri Piri sauce
The greatest of their advocates, the finest spokesmen, but of course
Once filled up with chicken you thrashed villains long ago
Each one of your lectures taught us things we ought to know
And your metal body put you in another class
Each gleaming component reflected in the stars
Your cockney rhyming slang well it kept us all amused
You were my friend (My brother)
You were our companion, you were our companion
(Winston, Winston Winston, Winston)
(Professor Winston, Professor Winston)
Your Cockney charm will sure be missed by all of those who knew
Your cheeky smile metallic face and love of chicken too
We’re so glad to have known you we can’t believe our luck
But now you’re gone all we can say is ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh SHUCKS!

LEVEL 1- The 2011 Collection
by Miracle Of Soundsupported by 4 fans who also own “Winston's Lament”
I find it difficult to choose ONE favourite from this, but the end of Trip to Vegas always makes me crack up laughing. Even though I've never played Fallout: New Vegas, the exasperated "Not again" is so applicable to other games...or anything that involves computers being idiots.

4th Grade Talent Show
by the great Luke Skisupported by 4 fans who also own “Winston's Lament”
Technically my favorite track is "You Don't Know Jack (Plan B)", because it's just a great reimagining (Some Jerk with a Camera is now officially a reimagineer). But a lot of the album is good, and the "Luke Ski Phase 2" stuff is also good, but different.
