作曲 : Hodgson, Smith |
| [00:09.72] |
She says that they're nothing but chancers where I come from. |
| [00:12.62] |
That she doesn't know how I've survived it without being beaten or killed or worse. |
| [00:16.74] |
She says she heard on the news about all those guns they found in that pub, |
| [00:20.01] |
and how that gunman was from there, and how she's seen them on that waste ground by the shops drinking cheap cider and swearing at the tarts who walk past. |
| [00:29.02] |
And when I tell her I've never even seen a gun, she's says she's connected and could get one. |
| [00:33.68] |
But she wouldn't recommend that school I went to for her niece. |
| [00:37.10] |
And I don't ask which one because I already know. They tore all the others down. |
| [00:41.20] |
But then I just read one of those annoying comedy emails you get at work and nod like I'm listening. |
| [00:48.72] |
And when I get off the bus on Bonfire Night the High Street is like a breeched hive. |
| [00:53.16] |
I can only tell the difference between the firework smoke and the clouds by which is green and which is purple. |
| [00:59.14] |
And there are still pops and flashes in the distance, and dogs barking beside me. |
| [01:04.01] |
In the subway the tiles are still twisted and the ceiling still black from the fire last week. |
| [01:09.56] |
Even though they've painted the side walls there is still the smell.New smoke mixed with the constant of piss. |
| [01:15.80] |
But at the end of the passageway there are huddled shapes crouching on the floor. |
| [01:19.44] |
And I know I can't turn back, I know that this is the only way home, so I put my head down and try not to look. |
| [01:25.64] |
But as I pass, I can't help but be drawn to a metallic flash. |
| [01:29.31] |
A silver claw prizing up the floor tiles. And as my heart drowns out the noise from my headphones I feel hands on me. I feel them grab me and turn me. |
| [01:38.56] |
And as I raise my eyes and my hands and prepare for the claw and the smoke and the piss, |
| [01:43.95] |
one of them holds a greetings card in front of my face and asks me if I know how to spell appreciate. |
| [01:49.93] |
There is a vase of pink flowers and the countryside on the front. It says, "Birthday Greetings." |
