Suspended Sentence |
| Read the paper — humdrum |
| Henley Regatta — page one |
| Eat die — ho hum |
| Page three — big bum |
| Giving a lunatic a loaded gun |
| He walks — others run |
| Thirty dead — no fun |
| Foreigners feature as figures of fun |
| Do something destructive chum |
| Sit right down — write a letter to the Sun |
| Say… «Bring back hangin' for everyone» |
| They took my advice — they brought it back |
| National costume was all-over-black |
| There were corpses in the avenues and cul-de-sacs |
| Piled up neatly in six-man stacks |
| Hanging from the traffic lights and specially made racks |
| They’d hang you for incontinence and fiddling your tax |
| Failure to hang yourself justified the axe |
| A deedely dee, a deedely dum |
| Looks like they brought back hangin' for everyone |
| The novelty’s gone — it’s hell |
| This place is a — death cell |
| The constant clang of the funeral bells |
| Those who aren’t hanging are hanging someone else |
| The peoples pay — the paper sells |
| It’s plug ugly — sub-animal yells |
| Death is unsightly — death smells |
| Swingin' Britain — don’t put me on |
| They’re gonna bring back the rope for everyone |
