"Roundhead" was the name given to the supporters of the Parliament during the English Civil War. Also known as Parliamentarians, they fought against King Charles I and his supporters, the Cavaliers (Royalists), who claimed absolute power and the divine right of kings. The goal of the Roundhead party was to give the Parliament supreme control over executive administration.
Most Roundheads appear to have sought a constitutional monarchy, in place of the absolutist monarchy sought by Charles I. However, at the end of the Second Civil War in 1649, public antipathy towards the king was high enough to allow republican Roundhead leaders such as Oliver Cromwell to abolish the monarchy completely and establish the republican Commonwealth. The Roundhead commander-in-chief of the first Civil War, Lord Fairfax, remained a supporter of constitutional monarchy, as did many other Roundhead leaders such as Edward Montagu.
England's many Puritans and Presbyterians were almost invariably Roundhead supporters, as were many smaller religious groups such as the Independents. However many Roundheads were Church of England, as were many Cavaliers.
A bounty hunter captures fugitives for a monetary reward (bounty). Other names, mainly used in the United States, include bail enforcement agent and fugitive recovery agent.
In the United States legal system, the 1873 U.S. Supreme Court case Taylor v. Taintor, 16 Wall (83 U.S. 366, 21 L.Ed. 287), is cited as having established that the person into whose custody an accused is remanded as part of the accuser's bail has sweeping rights to that person (although this may have been accurate at the time the decision was reached, the portion cited was obiter dictum and has no binding precedential value). Most bounty hunters are employed by bail bondsmen: the bounty hunter is paid about 10% of the bail the fugitive initially paid. If the fugitive eludes bail, the bondsman, not the bounty hunter, is responsible for the remainder of the fugitive's bail. This is a way of ensuring his clients arrive at trial. In the United States, bounty hunters claim to catch 31,500 bail jumpers per year, about 90% of people who jump bail.

Maria Montez was accorded top billing in this film by contractual agreement, although she is in the picture only long enough to take a bath in a tricky 17th century bathtub while sipping coffee with Charles Stuart and delivering dialogue in a barely-understandable French-accent. This is the second major film released within a short period with King Charles II as a primary character, and Charles here and Charles (George Sanders) in "Forever Amber" are two very varied approaches to the same character. This one takes place prior to the beginning of "Forever Amber" when Charles II and his followers are hiding out in Holland from Oliver Cromwell's puritan Round Heads. Being temporarily at liberty (or unemployed), Charles takes a day job at the farm/estate of Katie, and falls in love with her. Meanwhile he eludes his enemies by agility, enterprise and sword play, some of the latter performed while riding the blades of a Dutch windmill. He is summoned back to the throne and has to leave Katie and the tulips behind, returns to England, is replaced by George Sanders who pursues Amber St. Clair and forgets all about Katie. "The Exile" and "Forever Amber" should be viewed back-to-back for maximum-contrast enjoyment.

It's Wu motherfuckers, Wu Tang motherfuckers
It's Wu motherfuckers, Wu Tang motherfuckers
It's Wu motherfuckers
Reunited double LP we're all excited
Struck a match to the underground industry ignited
From metaphorical parables to fertilize the earth
Wicked niggaz come try to burglarize the turf
Scattin' off soft-ass beats them niggaz rap happily
Tragically, that style, deteroiate, rapidly
Uncompleted missions to best known competitions
You couldn't add it up, if you mastered addition
Where I come from, gettin' visual is habitual
Demonstrate walkin' on hot coal, in rituals
I splash the paint on the wall formed the mural
Took a look shot the manifestation of it was plural
Rhymin' while impaired, dart hit your garment
Pierced your internal streamlined compartments
Just consider the unparallel advantage
With all D P that's impossible to manage
Bitch ass niggaz counterfeit the funk
I smoke the bead and the skunk tree top of the trunk
Moonshine drunken monk you get shrunk
The touch of skunk I be fuckin' bitches by the chunk
My name black do words wanna play in my dirt?
Bitch stop my momma serve free lunch from the church
I come like a thousand doves
Bitch she's crazy at the bus makin' the fun I gots tough love
Unglove the news watch a niggaz transfuse
Dirty add to the fuse heavy at the booze
I don't walk I get carried
Gold and platinum frisbees on my wall lookin' properly
I do it for you Wright Brothers
The Indian that sold Manhattan to the man
My grandfather step up and get knocked right the fuck out
Come to the cook out dirty bitch at the mouth
You scared? Run around like a plane about to crash
Wu Tang motherfuckers
Wu Tang motherfuckers
Wu Tang motherfuckers
The riddler funny bone tickler freak Caligula
Bigger dick sex enigma, fertilize your stigma
Stink box order from pink dot
MC's get stuck on ink blots as I plug to the sink box
Wu Tang in corp your brain on spacewalk
Talk strange like Bjork great hero Jim Thorpe
How can I put it? It's like my video footage
Hard to edit my niggaz that never understood it
I'm too impulsive my dosage it's hard for you nigga to notice
I come through your postage
I don't play the rap souflee for the day
Ruler zig-zag-zig a, leg leg arm head
Spread like plague we drink Hennessee by the keg
I got the golden egg plus the goose
Eighty proof absolute CC mixed with fruit juice, motherfucker
I got yo' neck in a noose
It's Wu motherfuckers, Wu Tang motherfuckers
Reunited cuz it feels so good
Reunited cuz we're understood
There's one perfect thing
and children this one is it
We both we're so excited cuz
we're reunited, hey! hey!
I'm known on the microphone as the rap professor
Casual dresser, you may dress fresher
The way that I speak this shit is energetic
My physique of meat is quick atheletic
Remove all MC's who disapprove
that my funky fresh particle always have the groove
You're jealous over me because you're not a competitor
You're just a donor, I'm the rap editor
Tryin to rock the mic when you get an appetite
All negative on the mic, I dislike
Try to rock the mic but only will reduce
Try to get loose, you juice as a youth
Not knowin to yourself that you shall be frozen
I'm the MC warrior, who has been chosen
to rock and shock beats, polite when I recite
Sulfur MC's, you are down right, out right
Try to be talkative, there's no alternative
Hide until I forgive, this motive
I am unique with the perfected physique
The objective of my rhyme is my own technique
I maintain the paradise on this Earth
with the shut the fuck up style for what this shit is worth
Watch a nigga catch a purse
Super-hero niggaz die
Do my dirt, get away and multiply
You bitches, ya nice guys
Always want bitch, because ya need mine
I pleased on how I get up on the stage and fuck up the show
Cuz nobody can't fuck with me!
You bootleggin buyin motherfuckers, don't do that with me
with all these child-support cases I got, I needs my money!
Earl for ages, a 100 and down, sacrifice ya baby to the underground
The best kept secret, how does it feel to be
boxin in like a skeleton, growin back ya skin?
When I was young, I was taught how to produce
the science of babies gettin loose
I turned white boys to Springsteen spruce
Black to spooks, gave the Chinese Bruce
I can't help it if my style is foggy, monster boogie
Get ya high on my patio, all come to see me movie
Bicthes, you're walkin on my dirt
We ain't sayin nuthin
I whisper in ya ear, make ya blink cold Pert
Love potion, plenty bones I put up
What!? What!? What!? What!?
You know what time it is,

An incestuous relationship between mother and son
As last rites were read I had tell such a void
A loving mother, my life-giver and lover
She went away when she slashed her own wrists
The relationship with me was too much to bear
I watched her buried, her funeral, my heartbreak
As last rites were read I left such a void
I had to inimately feel her once again
I dig deep into my mothers sepulcher
Her cold, dead flesh soon stirs my lust
Stiffened legs spread to be fucked
My undying live, a son's sick obsession
Forcing myself into my mommy's rigor mortis twat
We are finally reunited once again
As i engross myself in interment intercourse
I unknowingly contract a supernatural disease
With incestuous necrophilism there is a price
Malodorous malediction from examinate cunts
An uncanny imprecation
The offensive stink fills my senses
With each stroke of my penis inside
"Mommy, sweet mommy" I scream as I ejaculate
Her flesh, healthy semen conditions her dry, rigid femme canal
Pleasure short lived
For when I pull out of the disinterred fuck
The smell that was created could sicken the dead
Forcing myself into my mommy's rigor mortis twat
We are finally reunited once again
As I engross myself in interment intercourse
I unknowingly contract a supernatural disease
With incestuous necrophilism there is a price
Maladorous malediction from examinate cunts
An uncanny imprecation
The offensive stink fills my senses
A lemme furnigation now terrible haunts
It clings to my lecherous privates
I will soon go mad from the revolting scent
As the post mortem matriarch leaves me rancid
Her embalmed vulva oozes, drains and leaks
Emitting an oder of an unearthly reek
This miasma adheres to my virility
An eeried anathema from the mortuary
As the post mortem matriarch leaves me rancid
Her embalmed vulva oozes, drains and leaks
Constant cleansing doesn't kill the smell
I cannot escape the feminine foulness
With crazed desperation
I set my genitals aflame
Hoping to burn away the venomous vapor
Reeling in pain as my pubis smolders
I curse the name of my desecrated mother
Forcing myself into my mommy's rigor mortis twat
We are finally reunited once again
As I engross myself in interment intercourse
I unknowingly contract a supernatural disease
With incestuous necrophilism there is a price
Malodorous malidiction from examinate cunts
An uncanny imprecation
I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has
made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you
'cause I want you back, hey hey
I spent the evening with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a
way of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you
'cause I need your touch, hey hey

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit

tô numa boa, tô aqui de novo
daqui não saio, daqui não me movo
tenho certeza, este é o meu lugar
ah ah
tô numa boa, tô ficando esperto
já não pergunto se isso tudo é certo
uso esse tempo pra recomeçar
ah ah
doeu, doeu, agora não dói, não dói, não dói
chorei, chorei agora não choro mais
toda mágoa que passei
é motivo pra comemorar
pois se não sofresse assim
não tinha razões pra cantar
há há há há há
mas eu tô rindo à toa
não que a vida seja assim tão boa
mas um sorriso ajuda a melhorar
ah ah
me cantando assim parece que o tempo voa
quanto mais triste mais bonito soa
eu agradeço por poder cantar
lalaia laia laia iô!!!

They spent that Thursday morning, yawning, channel-surfing, and slagging off all the bands
She got lips like Audrey Hepburn and she tastes of strawberry jam
He tries to put on a Geordie accent 'cos he knows she always laughs at it
She likes the sound of music but she says she always skips the nazI bit
She does French crosswords and when she wears his t-shirts they look like dresses on her
And if the sun comes out her nose gets those little brown freckles on it
Her 21st birthday was coming up and he didn't know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song and in that song there was this bit where he said to her..
I’m looking for your face in crowded places
I’m double-taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria station
You've rented my head out
rented my head out
And on his mobile phone next to her name he's put the letter x in
'Cos she always puts kisses in-between all the words when she texts him
And she wakes up when his asthma's bad and gets him his Ventolin
And gently rubs his back and rests there on the edge of the bed with him
And sometimes her joints get achey and she lets him stretch them for her
And she falls asleep during horror films with her head rested on him
And for her 21st birthday coming up he still didn't know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song, and in that song he meant it when he said to her..
I’m looking for your face in crowded places
I’m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria station
You've rented my head out
